Long, long ago travellers had themselves enshrined as one of the “big nine”, there will be no discussion without cries of discrimination. Peter Casey has gone for the lowest common denominator in broaching the traveller conundrum in public. However he will never bring this forward outside this presidential battle and will use it to get a populist vote from trump style haters. I’ve no love for travellers but equally I don’t want to see their existence used to steal a presidential election similar to how Trump did on the “drain the swamp” drumbeat, amd we see how that turned out.

It's so rare to see such a decent human being. The others are all willing to lie about how much they love travellers to get a vote. Decent people are harassed, intimidated or even terrorised by travellers and all the other candidates are happy for this to continue as is as long as they keep their votes. **** the elderly that are abused everyday as long as we don't hurt the feelings of the countries largest criminal gang. That attitude can't go on, travellers need to be stopped.

Don't fret though it'll be the last of his traveller comments once he's in the park. As I said I don't care about the traveller issue. Or what he said . It's the fact you've been taken in by it Excellent

Wheeliebin30 wrote: » I don’t really care about travellers in this instance either. It’s that someone finally in the public eye said it like it is about a topic. It’s refreshing and has made people feel we all don’t have to be always afraid to speak our mind without been called a racist or in someone’s pocket:)

Casey said on the radio, that if elected he would play by the rule book anyway. He also said he wouldn't be taking the salary with the position, it would be donated to CCs to give to a charity.

Give this fella your vote and you'll have been taken in by the cod. Like the landed gentry having us fight amongst ourselves and having a big oul laugh about it. I see through his campaign , he knows what he's at alright And it will all go away just as quickly

I would go one step further. **** them and there stables. I would have all the houses leveled the miserable sods. Turning there noses up at perfectly good houses. Struggling tax payers like me working me hole off for a house and these ****ers complaining.

It's such a relief to see someone not pander to them. Personally I would support serious action being taken against them.

Could well be the earliest beginnings of a discussion about Traveller's which allows for an open and honest criticism of the situation. For now there is none of that.
