British 'gypsy' children 'steal a CHRISTMAS TREE from a petrol station' – as their mum admits making off with Red Bull, rope and sunglasses

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

They won't get away with any sh1t over there.

Pity it isn't the same here. We are far too soft on them.

Edit. Nice to see the Mail Online accurately describing them as British gypsies seeing as they are from Liverpool.

Yeah, but the pay for an honest days work isn't as good as what they get for acting the bollix.

How much would it cost to bring a family of 12 to NZ?

Where did that money come from?

From the sounds of things, they didn't need any spending money so it would considerably reduce the cost of the trip.

As per my post on the other thread, I wonder if this is the rich grandfather yer man was on about?

Well the HSE regularly fund cultural events for same including hotels, food etc. Perhaps this came under a similar UK cultural exchange type programme to support ethnic diversity?

Interestingly another hotel in the Limerick area had its bar and function area smashed up after a large traveller family were provided by the HSE with 'emergency' accomodation and a free restaurant on NYE. Peculiarly same family turned up dressed to the nines with My Big Fat Gypsey Wedding type outfits and hairdos for the night ....

They don't give an absolute shïte. Listen to John Connors - travellers have absolutely no shame about how they behave, and actually think civilised society is some kind of wimpy cop-out, and that they are the "real men".
There was a poster on the Margaret Cash thread, presumably a traveller, who said as much as well.
The see us as a soft touch to be leeched upon, and they are facilitated in this by their taxpayer-funded quangos, the media, and government.

When asked about travellers robbing old people during an interview a few years ago, John Connors mumbled

"sure maybe those old guys didn't need the money"

Preying on people is acceptable to them

archer22 · 16-01-2019 2:38pm

How to describe them is a problem...to the British they are Irish to the Irish they are British. We can't call them Anglo Irish either or the folks in the big old houses will be rightly outraged

Maybe a new term like Irish Anglo would solve that issue.

They are British nationals, of Irish Traveller ethnicity.

Have to laugh at the consul trying to claim that Irish Travellers aren't Irish: https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/109977822/irish-community-being-unfairly-blamed-for-troublemaking-tourist-family

PURE VERMIN the lot of them Neanderthals never died out travellers are whats left of the rubbish that survived or inbred

ToBeFrank123 · 16-01-2019 3:32pm

And they wonder why there is discrimination against them? Reputation precedes them generally.

But I agree, these are not Irish tourists. The New Zealanders need to call them out as Travellers since that is their ethnicity.

To be fair, probably about half of the travelling community have the surname "Cash". I remember having a scrap with a knacker called Johnny Cash when I were a lad.

From that link though

Community Magistrate Ngaire Mascelle took into account Cash's early guilty plea and her night spent in police cells.

"That is a significant penalty itself for a first time offender," Mascelle said.

"First time offender", aw bless

First time caught and prosecuted in NZ more likely.

I wouldn't have thought that NZ would have sought to see if she had a criminal record here or in the UK.

DColeman · 16-01-2019 4:25pm

Scouse gypsies?

Their accent must be like nails scraping a chalkboard.

ArrBee · 16-01-2019 4:56pm

Gotta love the way NZ public are having a go at them leaving court. Made me laugh...

Locals can be heard shouting "how's your holiday?" and "you going to pick your rubbish up?" while others asked "when are you going home?"

Just imagine how confused the journos in NZ are!
They probably don't even know there is an ethnicity "Irish Traveler"
They'd just deconstruct that to mean "tourist from Ireland", but with a British passport...? are sure Ireland is part of UK anyway so that explains that!

Seriously, not many would know that NI and ROI are different passports.

Doubt they would be so quick to act like that if it was the Maoris requesting them to tidy up.

Meant to say when I read that, there could be a problem there...

While those who identify as Māori make up about 15% of the New Zealand population, the corresponding figure behind bars is more than 50%. Among women, for whom there is no Te Tirohanga option, it is higher still, at 60%.

UN voices concern about over-representation of Maori in prisons

The most recent data suggests more than six of every 10 Māori prisoners will be back inside within 48 months. At its core, the rehabilitation-focused approach of Te Tirohanga is an attempt to interrupt the tendency for jails to act as recruitment centres for gangs and incubators for further criminality.

Lots of Cash's in the UK too, used to work in Tusla and we were very, very well acquainted with some of them.
