    I assume that this investigation into the "Traveller" lifestyle will be the usual lefty, liberalised PC nonsense.

    We will no doubt be told that only a percentage of travellers (i.e. 95%) are involved in any criminal activity.

    Isn't it terrible how they just can't be left alone and allowed carry on with their chosen lifestyle in peace (i.e. robbing, stealing, littering etc etc)

    It's not really a culture....They can just get away with whatever they like...and if you disagree they will " bate the head a ye!"

    Brick Top had the right idea on how to deal with travellers.

    Prime Time is a quality show. There won't be a bad thing said about it.

    I'd love to see the travellers host a prime time and do an investigation into us, can anyone think of some things they may come up with....?

    They'd call us 'outbred'?

    Wasn't it "Traveller Awareness Week" last week. I fully support it, it reminded me to turn my alarm on before I left the house.

    I would say the inherent racism would be a good start point...

    What distance do they travel each year?

    Do fluctuating fuel prices have much impact?

    Has Satnav been useful?

    It'll be the same as usual.

    First of all they'll have a stupid report on the traveller community, telling us how decent they are and that they dont have any rights.
    Secondly, there will be a counter argument claiming that travellers are scumbags and they need to be controlled etc.
    Thirdly, there will be debate baack in the studio. My prediction is two politicians and the obligatory educated traveller(he has a moustache) will scrap it out over some "pressing topic"
    Fourthly, I'd rather eat my own face than watch this.

    I was in a local Supervalue a week or so ago, qued up waiting to pay when a lady traveller and her young dughter came into the shop...anyway as the young lady went about her shopping..the daughter ( about 3 years of age) systematically removed all the toys from the fronts of the kiddies comics and magazines and stuffed them into her pockets. I was utterly amazed by this and watched the child fill her pockets to the brim...but what baffeled me more was that firstly the mother didnt give a hoot where her child was...and second..when she did look for her..she didnt seem to care that the child was robbing the shop blind.

    Its a shame...what chance would that child ever have.
