    Would anyone challenge them really. Even the police are terrified now.

    What would YOU do in that airport? Nothing for fear of your life.

    There is a lot to be said for rounding them up now. On what basis I don't know, but it has to be looked at now. They don't care, will not be challenged and off they go with their weapons.

    First dozen posts hilariously reference culture.

    all joking aside, it's truly shocking and disgusting behaviour, and totally unacceptable that people many elderly, or with young children cannot have a good old fashioned donnybrook, without some fool whipping out their camera and recording it.

    doubtless Martin and Pavee Point will share my outrage.

    Are travellers allowed to travel by more than one mode? Fascinating!

    Maybe they fly on a Cessna Sky caravan?

    The shop wouldn’t accept Travellers Cheques. It kicked off after that.

    You could just imagine the people in the airport boarding flights hoping they wouldn't be seated beside them if they got through security!

    That was in the lounge the far side of security.

    They wouldn't put up with that kind of sh1t outside of the UK & Ireland. Imagine what would happen to you if you did that in a US airport.

    Surely Travellers' image rights have been seriously breached here. Legal action should swiftly follow with ample compensation forthcoming. The tenets of equality and fair play demand nothing less.

    What are you talking about? This ‘ethnic minority’ claim that it’s their ‘culture’ that makes them unique.

    Look at their culture, it’s not something that anyone should aspire to.

    A lot of the large group feuds in airport departures are actually between settled people and the amish...

    The Amish and the Maoris are always feuding.

    It usually appears several times in the many Traveller-bashing threads we see on After Hours, often hilariously followed by 'boss'. Only twice in this one though.

    The London Philharmonic got into a right set-to with some crowd from Vienna last year.

    they still have some serious scores to settle.

    I was under the impression airports used to have security personnel??

    I hope they are fkd. But I very much doubt it here or UK, fear of racism. What have we done now?

    How the heck did those sticks get beyond security though? That is the question.

    Yeah, it's just a boring joke now, that's the point.

    Yawn.

    if you or your family were flying out of there when this happened, i wonder how funny you might find them?

    What are you on about? I never said the fight was funny or a joke?

    I said the "it's our culture boss" comment was a boring joke.

    Two completely different things.

    Calm yourself there now.

    Imagine post Brexit duty free it'll be like the ****ing Hunger games

    If I lived in NI, I'd be calling for a hard border to keep them out. Wonder why they are flying out of Belfast and not Dublin.
    You do realise that they're are travellers north of the border as well as here in the south. They weren't all banished in some sort of pogrom in 1922.

    They have the same accent anywhere in the country; north or south.

    How did they get the sticks past Security?

    One at a time now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭Lone Stone


    their should an absolute **** storm at that air port over no security showing up what a ****ing joke.

    Hopefully the stupid idiots didn't make it through security and were thrown out, hopefully security had the balls too do that at least, there an absolute embarrassment too this country the way they behave.

    the point is that type of braindead activity IS part & parcel of their much vaunted "culture".

    people often make jokes to emphasise a serious point, or are you too braindead to appreciate that!

    Nope, just bored by the repetitive nature of it.

    Sorry I seem to have hit a sore nerve for you. It's obviously your favourite comment of all time.

    I doubt the security are there to break up a fight amongst scumbag gypsies. They are there to check baggage, passengers etc. I doubt they are armed.

    They should have left them to wipe themselves out. Though their appeared to be very little fighting going on here, rather a lot of swiping through the air and firing waste paper bins about. Buckets of ****e.
