    Is there a specific legal angle you have here?

    I think it's article 3 of the universal declaration of human rights that the op is taking issue with.

    I hsve been dealing with travellers for about 40 years. Some OK, some not. Legal position complicated.

    However I would never use the word "scummy gypsy" about anyone - really ignorant talk

    Why are travellers looking for ethnic status? What benefits would that bring considering they are already provided for seperately?

    Nothing whatsoever, especially once they start posting on forums under the names of eighties gay icon bands.

    I believe Hitler and his henchmen came to the same conclusion and murdered hundreds of thousands of Roma (or "Zigeuner", as they called them) in the same extermination camps as the Jews.:rolleyes:

    I certainly hope neither you nor anyone else ever wants to go down that road again.:)

    Some members of all ethnic/religious/population groups commit crimes and abuse the welfare system, shirk their obligations to the wider society and in general act in ways that deserve condemnation.:cool:

    However, the way to deal with that is to punish those individuals who break the law, irrespective of what group they belong to and applying the same legal principles and guarantees of a fair trial to all, not to make sweeping and, frankly, quite disgusting and racist generalisations in the way that you do.:eek:

    i suspect they think it would give them increased licence to engage in activitys which are seen as inappropriate by the settled community , might also entitle them to certain special priveledges in the way of entitlements , the do gooder industry would stand to gain from travellers being granted ethnic status aswell , thier is plenty of employment for lawyers , human rights activists etc in representing recognised minoritys

    Maybe the OP is referring to the fact that they are allowed to behave in such an unsocial manner anywhere they go as people think to themselves whats the use in trying to stop them from vandalsing, robbing, fighting, when they neither care nor fear the law, and any action you try and do as a morally correct citizen will just bring unnecessary attention to yourself from them.

    ethnic status for Irish travellers in Ireland is a bogus claim to shake more money out of the tax payer and to provide more employmen for the traveller support industry

    Maybe the OP is a troll :D

    EDIT: No lol I've actually looked at some of his other threads. I dont know what scarier his views on home defence and capital punishment for that he's looking to do a biomedical degree!

    Gaining ethnic status allows them to brand anyone who criticises their lifestyle as 'racist'. Using the racist card is a classic tactic to intimidate and bully people into keeping their mouths shut.

    So if you phone up Joe Duffy and ask if travellers have driving licences or insurance you'll be branded racist. If you ask why they invade seaside towns during the summer and leave tons of rubbish behind, they will reply that that's their 'way of life' and if you can't live with it then you're obviously a racist.

    Genetically and racially these people are 100% Irish, they are not an ethnic minority.
