Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

Tommy Joyce speaks.

No idea who any of these inbreds are but I feel invested in the drama now.

Pillars of the community, fucknut wears a balaclava then gives his name out :)

It was a joke. Travellers moaning about travelling.

I got that but needed a rant.

I pissed myself at one of the comments that said four brothers, one of them's in a balaclava, wouldn't take a genius to work out who he is hahahah

And they bang on about being 'Manchester born and bread' yet speak in some comedy father ted Irish accent, very odd indeed.

Are you saying that people that don't live in settlements can't have settled status? :)

Your comment is irrelevant to my point.
Being born here does not give you British citizenship no matter how long you are here.

Fine. But Tommy Joyce says he’s born and bred in Manchester?
So is he a Mancunian traveller or an Irish Traveller on the census?

Listen it makes no odds at all.


My point is, I know the heritage and history of dispossession from which they supposedly originate.
But putting Irish in front of the noun like it’s a recognised trait of the whole population is not something I’m blaming Britain on, but for third/fourth generation travellers in Britain I really see it a superfluous to the characteristics they portray.
They are what they are regardless.
If there’s decent individuals in any group treat them accordingly.
Totally up to you individually if you would go as far as trusting them however.

Pointless pedantry. Irish travellers is usually used to differentiate between the gypsies and the Roma.

He's whatever he says he is, if he lives in a caravan, he probably isn't on the census. It's possible that he's illiterate, most leave school by the time they are 12.

It's not Irish culture it's travellers culture.

'Our cousin Shayne Ward sang at the Arndale, now we're being kicked out'

Martin Ward said his 12-year-old sister was left 'traumatised' after she was ejected from the shopping centre and forced onto a train

I was talking about their parents. I'm well aware of British Nationality law. It was also a joke. Hence the smilie face.

Most Irish Travellers are British though, aren't they?

Living in a caravan, leaving school and out on the rob by 12.

What a wonderful culture, it rivals the great renaissance.
