dare 1,103 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Been watching it and as always when I watch em I think sure you'll get c**ts but you get that in every group...a lot seem nice people who are prejudged and saddly like the whole of england loosing their culture. I think a lot of their culture is a good thing anyway I mean if half the idiots in london where I lived settle problems with bare knuckles fights rather than stabbing each other it'll be a safer place.

The ones I've meet have been nice people to be honest. Unfortunately it is a case of one face for the cameras and one for the real world in the case of the ones I have experienced numerous times.

The Stewarts left a hell of a mess when they camped less than 150 yards from my house and they threw their rubbish into the stream and left dog shit where kids play. Coincidentally the clip of them picking up the wood behind the industrial estate was for the cameras benefit.....that place is 5mile from where I live but less than 100 yards from my work and they are more interested in grabbing scrap metal than wood and have a habit of taking things they shouldn't and then thye play that nice, innocent and humble demeanor. There have been more incidents than that with other travellers I have experienced but unfortunately they are similar stories....they leave a right mess 99% of the time and as the wives don't get much money from the husbands they resort to shoplifting, I would say that those are two of the biggest issues that sets people against them. But point taken there are also a lot of scum that don't live in caravans and they know no better either......and I don't like them either Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We bow down to pathetic laws far to easy in this country, without fuss. Mind ye they gotta pay the price for being Martyr's YIS D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
