"Traveller" Prime Time tonight.

podge3

I assume that this investigation into the "Traveller" lifestyle will be the usual lefty, liberalised PC nonsense.

We will no doubt be told that only a percentage of travellers (i.e. 95%) are involved in any criminal activity.

Isn't it terrible how they just can't be left alone and allowed carry on with their chosen lifestyle in peace (i.e. robbing, stealing, littering etc etc)

Why do I need a russian bride when they'll marry off their sisters for a tenner?

trout

I'd like to learn a little more about the Traveller culture.

It's not really a culture....They can just get away with whatever they like...and if you disagree they will " bate the head a ye!"

Brick Top had the right idea on how to deal with travellers.

Is that why there's so much going on with pork now?

Prime Time is a quality show. There won't be a bad thing said about it.

I'd love to see the travellers host a prime time and do an investigation into us, can anyone think of some things they may come up with....?

They'd call us 'outbred'?

Wasn't it "Traveller Awareness Week" last week. I fully support it, it reminded me to turn my alarm on before I left the house.

I would say the inherent racism would be a good start point...

Do fluctuating fuel prices have much impact?

Has Satnav been useful?

It'll be the same as usual.

First of all they'll have a stupid report on the traveller community, telling us how decent they are and that they dont have any rights.
Secondly, there will be a counter argument claiming that travellers are scumbags and they need to be controlled etc.
Thirdly, there will be debate baack in the studio. My prediction is two politicians and the obligatory educated traveller(he has a moustache) will scrap it out over some "pressing topic"
Fourthly, I'd rather eat my own face than watch this.

Didn't know Calzaghe was a pikey.

I was just about to ring him up and claim him but then he came out with "i'd fcuk any man"!

Clytus

I was in a local Supervalue a week or so ago, qued up waiting to pay when a lady traveller and her young dughter came into the shop...anyway as the young lady went about her shopping..the daughter ( about 3 years of age) systematically removed all the toys from the fronts of the kiddies comics and magazines and stuffed them into her pockets. I was utterly amazed by this and watched the child fill her pockets to the brim...but what baffeled me more was that firstly the mother didnt give a hoot where her child was...and second..when she did look for her..she didnt seem to care that the child was robbing the shop blind.

Its a shame...what chance would that child ever have.

and I'd rather watch you eat your own face than watch this... , nnhg maybe if both were on at the same time, I could flick over and back between the two, and still keep up with "History of Violence" on C4 at the same time.

the entertainment.ie (which I think is the same as the Hearld ??) listing for the show ..

"Barry O'Kelly explores the experiences of the traveller community, learning about their struggle with discrimination and how their reputation is tarred by a small violent minority."

"a small minority"... my guess is that men only make up 45ish % of the community and if only half of them are sober enough to fight .. then 20ish% is a small-ish minority

I can record and upload this if there is enough interest.

No links to illegal uploads / downlaods.

It'll be on rte.ie anyway.

Dont know whether i should watch this or not, i usually get high blood pressure when they try to justify how they are being discriminated against all the time.

Dennis the Stone

Last week's investigative program was excellent but it looks like they're scraping the bottom of the barrel with this. Not really a burning issue

Ah Terry, you're acting like a spoilbaby;):P

I'm acting in the interests of this site.

I'd rather not see the owners getting in trouble for linking to illegal file sharing sites or for promoting illegal file sharing.

Based on my encounters with them in Bray over the years, I'd say I should have lent them my phone and given them my chips more often.

Laughable really

Peared

I thought my thread on this subject was more succinct.

Headshot

so what did fellow board members think of the show

personally i think its a total joke about the Traveller not wanting to live in houses

why cant they leave the horse's in a glue factory and all will be sorted

loobylou

It's all our own fault, we keep putting our ears in their mouths.

I wish I lived in Mullingar. . . . Just for tonight!

Good to see they have some educational programmes for the ones that were denied education..................................................but "discrimination" being the first word they are taught is just asking for trouble.
