    Its a little over a year ago that the farce of travellor ethnically was brought in by the government. Surely this discussion needs to be re reviewed because from what i can see travellers have been living on this island for centuries and are indigenous to this country. Are alcoholics or drug addicts going to be declared as an ethnic group next its absolutely ridiculous that travellers have been given this status and it should be overturned.

    Yes but why what exactly qualifies them as a seperate ethnic group a culture maybe but certainly not an ethnicity.

    I’m actually disappointed that this is not a ‘time traveller’ thread.

    With the regularity of these threads you'd honestly believe there were 4m Travellers and 30,000 settled folk in this country.
