I think that we are getting a little to hot unde the collar about this.
I will always champion the rights of true gypsies or Romanies because they are very strict about matters of hygiene and morality and have a very strict code by which they live.It would be rather tedious if we were all the same and living the same.I can't but wonder why we should become homogenised as one kind of cultural grouping?Why should our way of life be considered better than theirs?If they pay their way and live decent lives but on the move who am I to call them names and object to their way of life.Why do we all have to be the bluddy same?
Those travellors who don't cause trouble(and I'm sure there must be some)and leave places as they found them, well good luck to them if they can find a decent legal site.
As for the others well I reckon the thought of them living in a council house somewhere on your estate might be rather more than you could bear.Better they are roaming from place to place perhaps?After all how many are there of awful families that make their communities a living horror?No getting rid of them easily and the damage they cause a community can also be expensive plus the costs of cleaning up after them falls on the local taxpayer anyway.
And before you ask if I'd like them next to me..yes to true Romanies and those decent travellors that exist and of course no to to the last sort.
I think it is time for a proper discussion of how to deal with these differing groups was undertaken by the government and some solid provisions and plans were made for those who genuinely need more legal sites.At the moment nothing is done while the problem is just moved on and on..
Perhaps if we wrote en masse to the government and relevant agencies in large enough numbers something might be done about it.
Ranting hate filled threads like this won't sort the problem however. I have been very uncomfortable reading this thread in it's entirety as I know that the majority of the people here are decent,kind and generous human beings.
