A twist is something unexpected. Mr K arguing is not
I'm not arguing I simply have no interest in talking to someone who has his views.

Travellers?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.
Gypsies?
Itinerants?
Ethnicity? Unfortunately they claim an Irish heritage going back to the displacement of the famine but don’t pussy foot about them PB. Over here most people call them ‘Cream Crackers’ or something that rhymes with with it anyway.
They don’t integrate or assimilate themselves into the norms of polite society.
They are not the only ones that don’t. But they are the same as any other scum bags that condone that behaviour.
Scumbags are scumbags no matter what nationality and deserve to be called out.

Not all travellers are shite. Some are. I'v been ripped off by them, equally been welcomed and helped when I go to their sites (Im a postie).
Its interesting, tommy robinson etc use that tactic of labeling everyone in a community of being bad when it isnt true. I guess we are still allowed to do that with gypsys/travellers/roma societies. Hopefully itll change.

I believe in the rule of law. No one should be persecuted because of their background.
By the same token, no one should get a free pass because of their background. If you break the law you should be dealt with, whether you're the Duke of Devonshire or Tim O'Reilly the 'horse dealer.'

Some? You're being generous there. I've seen the state of the vast majority of sites over here after they leave. . They resemble a bomb site. They plague local shops, bars etc. Trust me, the majority of "settled" people in Ireland do not like them. But if you criticise them, you're then disrespecting their "culture".Not all travellers are shite. Some are.

Nomadic people tend to behave like that. The berbers are quite similar.
People who travel around a lot have a lower vested interest in behaving well because they don't stick around to suffer the consequences of being individually banned from establishments.

Hitched a lift with a gypsy many years ago. Absolute nut case but he fed and watered me and drove 90 miles to my front door.A simple question. What do the travelling community do to to enhance the location where they decide to stay?

Let me ask you a question; in the late 80s-early 90s I know of police turning around skinheads and known footy rivals back onto trains because they caught wind of possible activities ahead; since they hadn't 'broken a law' and were profiled for their background of previous actions, do you think the gangs should have been allowed to engage in whatever activity they went to town for since they hadn't broken a law yet?
Just wondering on your scenario.
