History
Recently relations between Great Britain and Romania have soured due to unprecedented xenophobic reports in the English press[1] . Caused by economic hardship in the United Kingdom, the European Union freedom of movement has also been criticised. Reminding of pre World War 2 Anti-Semitism, right-wing media has alarmed the British public with false estimates of a large influx of migrants from Romania. The primary focus has been to Roma ethnic group of Romania.
