Maybe we can get one of the original wthankers who have 'ironically' thanked (i.e. stalked) my posts to hold the money? There will be no seconds, just you, me, the kids and the escrow agent. I'm here all through Lent.

All children in this country must go to school/get an education, their are truancy laws no, as for a job, how do they support themselves? Sorry I couldn't write thesis on the plight of travellers maybe you can discuss the topic and not people in the thread, I'm not gonna resort to calling you names because your chip on your shoulder speaks for itself.

Honestly, what benefit do politicians stand to gain from pandering to these people who, regardless of how you feel about it, as a whole contribute little to the country? Is it extra votes? Fear of being called racist? Fear of getting a broken jaw?

So do you, we all do so stop pretending to hold the moral high ground, grow a pair of balls, and voice your opinions.

The fact that there are stereo types even proves it. Now I've said before that you do not have to like them but there's no denying that they are an ethnic group

At a time when we have a homelessness crisis, a housing crisis, and a hospital crisis...this is not a priority in the nations interest but a cheap PR stunt to impress more European suits who wouldnt live a mile from travellers. Just the other day, the county council evicted them from a site a mere mile away from me and armed guards were there on duty. I would doubt armed guards would be there for any normal upstanding human beings. Culture my hole. About time these pr1cks in suits copped the fúck on and started to use some proper leverage in their positions instead of hammering down on decent hardworking people trying to get by. No more blind eyes, if you want special recognition for a few tokenised things like language and music etc then start behaving like a normal human being. I say that and i do acknowledge that there is many many decent members of the travelling community that have done their best to integrate somewhat without forgetting where they came from. They have done alot for sport, music, arts and irish culture. My comments are not aimed at them but i would appeal to the powers that be to come to some form of resolution rather than this pathetic sh1te. I admire John Connors for all that he has achieved in acting and i acknowledge that as a child he did suffer some uncalled for prejudice but he needs to take his head out of the sand and see both sides of the argument.

The more threads like this, the more talk like this down the pub or in the street the more protection they will get. It's the people that are so vocal with their stereo types that makes the government have to protect them more. If they were treated equal by settled people they wouldn't have as many rights. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right but basically it's the public traveller haters that are giving them the rights & protection that they do not want them to have. It's actually pretty funny when you think about it

I have an issue when they invade my space and don't get the hint that we don't want work done.Could you pick a traveller out of a group white Irish men standing beside each other, I'm guessing the answer is no, so how can somebody discriminate automatically.
