Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

Bloody Irish causing trouble again. You can't trust them.

I hope that poor lad found out where he was going. He should have kept hold of mummy's hand.

Plastic Irish or English travellers.

The kids would have been misbehaving on their train journey, I imagine. You can't enforce a dispersal order on the basis of someone's perceived ethnicity.

They turn up to rob places.

They turn up to rob places.

That isn't a lawful excuse for discriminating against a whole group of people. Gangs of black or white kids stealing stuff doesn't mean police can turn away all white or black people.

They can disperse people who are travelling in large groups or engaging in ASB or they have intelligence which justifies their suspicions that these people are likely to commit ASB.

Perhaps they had intelligence on both. Travellers regularly do this in places where they gather on mass.

You were quick enough to condone violence against Israeli football fans and even said they shouldn't be allowed to visit Europe. Good to see your more liberal side has re-established control.

The travelling community, like every other group, needs to take responsibility for their image and actions.

 

[RadcliffeRick]

A simple question. What do the travelling community do to to enhance the location where they decide to stay?

I didn't say that the police were wrong. You are twisting words I'm also stating what the law is.

Any chance of you not following me around like I'm a minor celebrity?

LOL. Who do you think you are - @gordondaviesmoustache?

I actually put a lot of effort into avoiding you but sometimes the shit you spout forces me to point out how hard-of-thinking you are, and how you manage to maintain two completely different & contradictory positions simultaneously.
