the casual racism directed at the gypsies bothers me much more than the illegal building does

There is a reason why the Irish Government won't recognise them as a new racial group.

I don't get many opportunities to dust it off these days, since political correctness went mad. I don't know. What's the world coming to?

Actual quotes from an email conversation I had with a friend about this.
"I think the point is more they are non-contributing members of society who arguably cause various hassle to contributing members of society and all we seem to do is make their life easier, for free. "

"They are an extremely selfish people who have no regard for anyone outside their shut off backwards community. "

She's... slightly right wing.

She might well be slightly right wing
but in this particular instance, she isn't far off the money. There are some people who live in caravans and happily move from site to site, leaving them in a tidy fashion and not causing any bother to anyone.

They are these people: www.caravanclub.co.uk/

I don't get it, that's a bit like saying that I look a bit like Will Smith and Will Young.

Gonz, you've posted that before
but it's not even remotely comparable to say that the news stories about this group of "Irish Travellers" are the same as anti-sematism.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 16:42, Reply)

Also, can you knock one of those up that changes the words" causes cancer" into "turns you black"
because that would be very relevant to the argument I'm having with people about the negative view of cancer in the press.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 16:45, Reply)

Yeah', but I have no idea the point of it.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 16:50, Reply)

The thing is though, not all travelers and gypsies are tax avoiding and law breaking scum.
And saying "I'm not saying _all_ of them are like that, but the ones who I've delt with all are" seems to me like an attempt at a get-out clause.

I used to live next to a farm load in Fawkham Green in Kent.
Unpleasant they are too.

Some are OK but the rest (and there are more than enough bad apples) are anti-social, thieving buggers.

Oh, I guess it's like how I think all black people are hooligons because I live near Wood Green.

In this particular instance Gonz
the council built a school for all these kids. It has almost the worst attendance record out of all the schools in the country.

Do you not think that if this particular group of irish people (they are not gypsys) were really keen to appreciate all the things the council is willing to do for them, they would not be making sure their kids always went to school?
(Bazongaloid, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 16:56, Reply)

But that's the thing, this group of people, they maybe scum, they maybe thick, they maybe horrible examples of humanity.
But what they're not, is _every_ traveler there is.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 17:07, Reply)

And I never said they were.
But of the stories on that page you linked to, two are about the Dale Farm camp so you have to refer to them as travellers, two are about plans in other countries which are actually condemning the actions taken against travellers, one is about a criminal gang of travellers who took driving tests for other travellers, how else are you going to report that story without referring to travellers? The one about Tessa Jowell is a story about how a group of travellers moved onto a site without planning permission.

So i'm questioning the relevance of the argument about comparing use of the word traveller to the word jew?
