    But, the thing that most appalled me at the time was the low voter turnout -

    "The Children's Referendum has been passed with the support of 58% of voters, with just three of the country's 43 constituencies rejecting the proposed amendment.

    However only 33.5% of those eligible to vote yesterday did so, which was the lowest turnout since the referendum on bail in 1996."
    I had a laugh at the turnout tbh. It wasn't long before that that there was a campaign to have votes on Saturdays because it would more people (students etc.) and then that happened.

    If all traveller children were taken to foster homes , then travellers would essentially die out
    That's the whole point

    I'm sure may of us wouldn't like our children raised on a halting site yet it is regarded as an acceptable standard of living for travellers. Why do we allow it? I think if more traveller children were placed in foster homes we would have far less problems.

    Well Christ was born in a stable and look at all the trouble he caused!!! :D
