I believe it is.
And the way in which people refer to gypsies and their 'lifestyle choice' tells me so.

That's your right
however, courts, luckily, don't work on prejudice. And many, many courts made this decision, not Daily Mail readers.

And there couldn't possibly be another agenda?
There could, conceivably.

Of course there could.
This is why we have different opinions. I think that the repeated legal analysis would suggest that this group of people are cheating chancers who should be evicted for systematically and repeatedly breaking the law, and the fact that they happen to be gypsies is irrelevant. You believe that because gypies are systematically persecuted in this country and other countries, it is right to stand up for them, because someone should, and this case you believe the eviction itself is persecution.

Without access to court documents, it's impossible to know which of us is correct, as every single news source will have a bias. I genuinely think it's an interesting piece of intelligent debate, to be honest.
