    You won't see this clip on mainstream media, it's disturbing how fooked up in the head the parent is, was he raised by a similar ape?

    So please explain to me, what purpose does it serve?


    Cultures don't serve a purpose.

    The store detectives will have a busy day. Travellers being travellers.

    The pictures are hilarious...because its not my local Tesco. Hey at least the world knows they are a whole separate ethnicity from us now.

    Caught a few minutes of some show about nightmare tenants the other day where a group of travellers had taken over an empty site, about an acre or so, all fenced in. They obviously started up some kind of refuse collection service because the site was literally full of all kinds of rubbish by the time they left. Not before they threatened a solicitor dealing with the matter with some good old fashioned violence of course.

    Tesco staff should prepare for a call over the tannoy "clean up on aisle.....actually clean up in entire car park".

    Someone should ask the question where did they get the cash for the nice vans and cars.

    Through legitimate stockbrokers advice one would imagine.

    It's ridiculous how easy it is for them to just turn up and plonk themselves where ever they want. This happened in the UK and there's feck all Tesco can do about it. Trespassing should be a criminal, not civil matter. It takes too long in the court system to get them evicted and by the time they leave, like you pointed out, they leave huge piles of rubbish after them. Just a few months ago they turned up at a brewery in the UK and demanded money to leave. Owner wouldn't give it to them and they ended up trashing the place, sh!tting in the brew pots and caused £300,000 worth of damage. The police did absolutely nothing :rolleyes:

    They got jailed in the end, but it took a while.

    Settled and Amish people will be dumping their rubbish there in no time. Just you wait and see how quickly it becomes a mess :)

    They should just hire a slurry spreader and spray every caravan at 4 am.
    That would soon shift them.

    Ah no sure Traveller families are the tidiest people on this island, maybe even in the whole world. Must have been some Settled people sneaking in at night and dumping their rubbish, like we are constantly doing on every halting site across the country! :rolleyes:

    Drugs, machine guns , stolen items , cocaine pressing machine , a monkey no less ...seems like the guards found everything there expect anyone who does a days work . Do Fine Gael still think travellers are great people ?

    Travellers getting in to the cocaine business, interesting.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,121 ✭✭✭amcalester


    It was probably all dumped there by unscrupulous settled folk, the travellers are the real victims here.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,013 ✭✭✭✭retalivity


    Im pretty sure it was settled people that just dumped all that stuff there, like their rubbish.

    Honest, boss.

    What they say for the PR and the easily offended types is different to what they think behind closed doors

    I have a strong feeling if a halting site was proposed next to Leo or Covenys house all of sudden there wouldn't be the "adequate services" and watch it be relocated sharpish


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,231 ✭✭✭Jim Bob Scratcher


    Sure how else will they feed the poor childer?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,500 ✭✭✭BrokenArrows


    Why are halting site even still allowed. There is not a single one which isn't riddled with crime. Same here in the UK.

    They should all be shutdown and every traveler needs to pay for a commercial campsite if they want to live that way. Otherwise they are rehoused in individual council accommodation away from other travelers.

    Halting sites are government created getos. They are always dead end communities where regular people don't go.

    This is what happens when marginalized communities slip under the radar and don't get the assistance they need.

    There's your bait, can you resist?

    What? They had a fcuking arsenal of deadly weaponry because they don't get enough assistance?

    Assistance to make better choices perhaps.

    They have had 150 years since they went on the roads to make better choices and they have consistently and often deliberately made choices with bad results for themselves. Now if it was only harming themselves you would say that is free will. But those choices also harm their children and society in general. At some point choice has to be removed as an option from them to protect everyone. The legal system is based on the removal of the option to make bad choices and it is time that system was fully applied to the travelling community just as it is applied to the rest of us.
