It's actually treating it's readers like idiots by saying "this is the way you speak". Disgusting. I won't fall for the "but we tell the truth" bull****. You can tell the truth in proper English too.

But everyone knows it. But of course no one would ever admit to reading anything like the Sun. However, reading other media is not telling us anything anyway. So go figure.

I bet the residents of that quiet backwater are absolutely thrilled they have been diverted to a private development in Swords. Wonder what the purchasers in that development think now. The halting site Travellers could have applied for council housing at any time, but no, they waited until the optimum time. Have to give them credit for being wily all the same. Thanks for heads up. Just googled it.....https://www.thesun.ie/news/3445561/travellers-swanky-new-home-moved-dublin-airport-runway/

Mark Rippetoe wrote: » Your post was overall ridiculous, but I'd like to focus on the bit regarding travellers leaving school. There was one traveller in my class. He joined in 5th class and going by his size, we all assumed he was older than us. We all got on with him as he was generally a nice guy. He never wanted to learn though. Always in trouble for not doing his homework. Had poor attendance. And when in class, was always looking for reasons to get out. His favourite trick was to break pens so that he had to go and spend the whole class in the bathroom washing ink from his hands. And no, he didn't have constant bad fortune with the integrity of his pens. He left some time in 2nd year and I assume it was when he turned 16. I didn't stay in contact but I have see him around our town from time to time. He did work though. He spent at least a few years as a janitor/groundskeeper for a local supermarket so he actually paid taxes. He is one of very few positive experiences I've had with travellers. But positive is a relative term here. He is merely one of the better travellers. He disrupted plenty of classes in school that he took from my learning. He didn't drop out of school because he was treated badly or differently. He dropped out because he didn't want to be there. We were all treated the same. He just chose not to learn because he didn't see the point. tl;dr Graces7, stop making stuff up. It doesn't work.

That's a contradiction in itself anyway, because they WANT and HAVE ethnic status here, so they should be called what they demanded to be classified as surely? Enda Kenny left a dish best served cold all the same.
