Not just that. If they stopped at designated sites they wouldn't get moved on, so it's their choice.

Eh, no, they do not.

Don't be silly - I'd still get called racist and a hypocrite too for trying to deny it.
I am Not racist, and I do NOT have to announce that here there and everywhere.

Your challenge is not evidence of your non-liberal attitude, because that kind of challenge is typical of the liberal way of attacking anyone who doesn't say nice wishy-washy liberal things they like. So they call them racist or bigot or nazi.

Sorry - no. My specific annyonace with the police in this respect extends to other areas of policing where the police are not even-handed and close their eyes to anything that might be a little too much trouble to deal with, when they've got so many petty criminals they could be harassing.

The pikeys we're discussing here have no culture. They
are "lying, stealing, thieving, cheating, selfish, dirty, pikey ****" exactly as you describe and an insult to decent, civilised people.
Show me just ONE aspect of this wonderful pikey 'culture' that should make me stop and think because it challenges my perception of them...
