    I've a distant relative who works with loads of them. He's employed as a prison officer. Seemingly travellers make a far higher percentage of the prison population than they do as a percentage of the overall Irish population.

    I hate travellers because so many are scum but im sure there is good ones

    The thing is if they are working and living lawfully and not letting you know there travellers we just treat them as normal people

    14 posts in. Wonder what percentage of you will be banned for racism and/or generalisations.

    Let's see.
