I love it. Yes of course, the reason they are driving slow down the road of a new area is because of a lost dog. Or yes of course... they are good friends with someone in the area, and don't know the address, so were hoping to drive past and spot them in the windows. We should have thought of that.

Or have you thought about that it could be a love of architecture? Yeah, that's possible too.

Heh.

It is not unknown for people to drive slower in areas they do not know even if they know the address and number they may not know the location on the street of the number. The examples are just ones that came to mind not every person who drives slowly is going to rob some1.

btw the reason I am defending them is every year for about 2 months we get a group of travelers come around my area setup in a couple of local fields and they never caused any problems yes they leave a bit of mess when they leave but they tend to be very nice people the ones I have encountered.They have come around for the past 15 or so years and even do some work for the farmers when hear for letting them use the land.

I couldn't speculate, because I have not more idea of the intention than the OP does. Now he may well be right, but lets be honest this thread is just a festival of prejudice, where I'd be prepared to bet that majority of people posting about '***** scum' have never had any experiences with them, good or bad.

Usual thing, look at the comment and swap the pejorative word with 'black' or 'gay' or 'Pakistani' or whatever, so sorry I personally think OCUK shouldn't be allowing such threads.

Actually you could speculate, because proportionally the amount of dishonest ****** relative to the population is pretty significant. There is a good reason why the stereotype and prejudice exists.

And do you think a set of 'honest' travellers would be breaking down a lock in order to get into a field, without permission? Sounds very honest, doesn't it.

Exactly. I would consider myself liberal, but that is taking things too far

I retract my previous comments, I ****ing love ******, I do CCTV and security stuff, we've got at least 3 of our larger customers due to thieving ***** scum stealing from them.

It's not just 'being prejudiced', it's the god-damn truth!

Haha, profiting from scum being scum, whilst making sure that the scum get their comeuppance. Love it

clearly this thread should be closed, if anyone started a thread about any other race full of stereotypes and out right racism it would be closed, so why not this

****** are not a race and are a load of thieving scum bags so the thread remains valid.

People don't dislike them because they're gypsies, people dislike them because they steal and leave a trail of **** and destruction in their wake. That's why it's not really racism, they just happen to be an ethnic group, but no one cares about that.

It's the behaviour that people hate, not that they are ****** or travellers etc.

As Richdog has already mentioned, it's the fact that the stereotype seems to encompass the majority of ******/travellers rather than the minority.

In the case of ****** they're guilty until proven innocent if my view

Do what I did a few years ago and become friends with them. I bumped into a group of lads in the local and after a couple of weeks I was getting great bargains for things 'that fell off the back of a lorry'. The day they moved on was a sad one.

actually romany travellers are a race according the EU and UN, they are considered a stateless race, as their origins cannot be attributed to one country

im gonna start a thread saying OMG black people moved in next door and I saw them eyeing up my car and driving slowly down the street, as technically there are a disproportionate number of black people convicted of crime, shall we see how long that thread lasts?

I think you will find the proportion of black people involved in crime is FAR lower than that of Irish travelers.

You're mixing them up with the typically Irish travellers we're all talking about. You know, the ones with the bad haircuts, tracksuit bottoms, expensive caravans and leathery-skinned women.

However, I would STRONGLY advise against confrontation unless you are the UK's most feared gangster. Which I doubt you are.

You don't go about acting like a gangster or trying to be tough in real life, that is not a good strategy.

Really what you want to do is find a way in, probably at night, and murder everyone while they sleep.

Or you could be stupid and shout like mad, get into a fistfight have 50 neighbours wake up and end up with a police van arriving, now not being able to actually do anything useful because you would have motive.

As others have said, we're not talking about romany travellers...

i always cant work out how racist some are about travelers on here .if people said the same about any other people or race on here they'd be banned

some are bad some are good like all manner of people.

Get off your high horse and go and live among your travelling brethren then. MOST are bad, i've seen enough of their kind and have not met one decent person among them.

As said, ask a farmer if you could borrow his much spreader. Also, Updates please

Bennie-Mac · 13 Jul 2012 at 17:31

MOST of these "people" are utter scum. An old work colleague of mine crashed his car because some ****** deliberately spilled oil on a dangerous corner of a road. When he returned to recover the car it was picked clean of bodywork. I just cant understand how people can defend them.
