Oh and if you are not interested in Margaret what the hell are you doing in this thread? You want to discuss something else then go post a new thread, this one is about Margaret
A Tyrant Named Miltiades! wrote: » Oh! Guilty me! Asking for evidence of your claims, how DAFT! I have so many questions. Firstly, why are you referring to a stranger by their forename? But that question is minor in relation to my next question -- You've decided that this thread is about "Margaret"?! Do you have any idea of how pathetic that sounds? That you are following online the activities of some single mum, and making sure that nobody speaks out in her favour? Ah here, have a word with yourself, lad.

Krieger et al, All-Ireland Traveller-Health Study, 2005; in which travellers experienced almost twice as much discrimination as black Americans when applying for employment. Ask me a harder one. This is too easy.

Instead of solving the issue by availing of education, they decide to continue not getting an education and then moan about lack of employment opportunities. :rolleyes:

Another poster linked the radio interview to where she made this claim which I see you ignored so you can claim ignorance. So maybe scoot back a few posts and listen to the interview. You did ask for a hard question, so again can you explain Mags logic as to how the state is robbing her blind considering all her income is given to her by the state.

If I were a traveller, and half the adults in my community were dying before the age of 40, and I had been bullied out of school at an early age, and one in every ten babies born in my community was dying before the age of two, I honestly don't think I'd give a flying **** about the settled community.
