Plenty of people just trying to get on with life. I won't judge a traveller or anyone else for that matter based on generalizations or stereotypes. I like to judge a person based on their own actions. Not the actions of their family or friends. Ah here. Utterly laughable stuff.

What part of calling a disabled baby a thing rather than a human do you not realise is wrong on so many levels. It's on a par with the ethnic cleansing genius.

I said originally that I'm sure you didn't mean for it to sound that way but you go straight on the attack. This now leaves me believing that you meant it the way it sounds & you are trying to weasel out of it. If I'm wrong here please explain how Thing or anything can refer to a human or handicapped baby?

Not sending kids to school, arranged marriages-virtually child brides, ongoing feuds. These are serious human rights abuses in their own community. Traveller leaders would be better off addressing these issues than ethnicity whatever that means
