    So you approve of racism then?

    Yes, we all approve of raceism. Everyone in the country is evil except the people who dont want to contribute to society in any productive way but really like free stuff.

    Travellers are an ethnic minority the same as drug dealers or every memebr of Siptu are. They are a group of people who decide to live outside the normal social boundaries while taking from it. Nothing more.

    slight problem with that. anyone can become a drug dealer, travellers are born travellers.

    This one time in College I was meandering about the campus with some mates after over-indulging slightly. Decided in my youthful vigour that it might be fun to run along the top of a high fence. The inner Bollocko voice of sanity was muted by the booze I fear.
    Young Bollocko ended up in hospital with a broken jaw. I lived and learned.
    But I do know what the inner voice was saying.
    No good can come of this.
    I am uneasy about the traveller bashing. PM me for clarification.
