    In order to achieve a fully egalitarian society, should the government not dedicate additional funding to travellers?

    So you think it will stop the anti social behaviour, all evidence to date suggests otherwise.

    Yes, let them earn more for the honest work they do that contributes greatly to the nation as a whole

    Absolutely, the last three decades of endless carrot has resulted in tremendous results for all concerned

    Of course it would. The anti-social behaviour can be attributed to being disenfranchised for so long.

    If they wanted a fully egalitarian society they should start with removing their ethnic minority status, and holding them to account on the same level as members of the settled community.

    Thats not what you want of course ...

    Halting sites need to be placed in richer areas, which will cost more.

    It must be a week since the last traveller thread. You have to admit they have a knack (pun not intended) of occupying a lot of people's minds.

    Why not? Taxes should benefit everyone.

    If a traveller wants to go to College, are there grants available for them?

    Yes. However, low attendance from POTC indicate that the current funding model isn't enough.

    That's POTTC. Acronyms are not your forte.

    We have exceeded our quota for Travelling Community bashing a long time ago. Before this descends any further, we have heard it all before. It is possible to debate without throwing slurs about.

    Please read any sociology book and you'll learn the damage of language on marginalized communities. The N-word used to be standard. Language can be violent.
