Yes, where there is blatant ignorance and prejudice I will have a go.

You just don't get it, do you? I pointed out that you changed the title of the BBC report to facilitate your attack on "pikeys", it's simple.

No, you didn't. What you did was edit and reproduce the headline of a BBC report - the general jist of which appealed to your own prejudices - with a simple manipulation of the headline's wording. You didn't even bother to read the ruling which they even went to the bother of making available on line.[/quote]

Not according to the ruling and judgement - see my earlier post of part seven thereof where it clearly states (in court documents no less) that the ownership and title of the land was not in question.

Well, you could try opening your eyes before letting your preprejudice expose you.

I'm not saying you cant - I'm saying you shouldn't (and, for the record, you started with "pikeys" and then went on to include almost every variation of displaced members of society that you could think of).

I'm not - go and read your posts again - you have, clearly, grouped all travellers, gypsys and romanys along with your disdain for "pikeys".

Pathetic! Now you're trying to tell me you can't even remember what you posted on a forum over the last two days - go have a read of some of the bile you've been spouting on this thread. Those "descriptions" were used by you - not me.

See my point above - you think of them all as the same - go and re-read your posts. Since you ask, and have a penchant for enquiring after alternatives and proof, then please tell me how else you would suppose anyone might interpret your prejudice?

Yes, moreso to your own integrity than to others.

If you're going to espouse opinions you'd best be prepared for discussion and to take on board the fact that there is no room for your type of prejudice in modern society. It should, and will, be challenged at every opportunity.
