Resident in Relocatable Property

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Factual eye witness account Razzler..Get it right.

I've seen a dog attacking another dog. I don't work hard to promote the negative perception that all dogs are vicious.
Do you see the difference?
I doubt that you do.

The laws have been designed to criminalise their lifestyle, They are left with no choice.

I think you are getting absurd, as usual.

V poor analogy for a chap who regards himself an intellectual.

AS i have said before,I have attended Sedgefield Resident meetings with the locals and The Council paid "" Gypsy Liason Officer" and discussed matters including the above.They do want to use the provided portaloos.

How about the same people, same dogs, same stray horses,infrastructure burned, pulled down..Same hassles for over 40 years..Then you might get close.Give up on The Gypsy Argument Razzler..You are out of your depth.

 

[durhamplumber]

you have a group of people who's lifestyle is to say, hunt for their food, but that behaviour is legislated against and criminalised, the group either ceases to exist, or resorts to criminal behaviour to survive.

LMAO....And you tell me I am being absurd

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Obviously durhamplumber, you refuse to discuss the point of the thread, and you just exploit the thread to promote your negative perception of a minority group.
Not much changes.

 

[durhamplumber]

promote your negative perception of a minority group.

The Truth hurts..Let it go then..Or go visit some Gyspy camps and educate yourself.

 

[durhamplumber]

The UK policy could almost be compared to a cultural ethnocide, intentionally legislating out of existence certain cultural practices.

Sounds clever but in reality a load of meaningless waffle

You promote your negative perceptions as truth.
And you are still refusing to discuss the point of the thread with such comments as:

You are still exploiting the opportunity to promote your negative perceptions, and avoiding the real issues.

Come back to me when you have visited some UK ""Gypsy"" sites so you know what you are on about.""Get real"" as they say..

Which are???

You are being influenced by the promotion of negative stereotypes.

No; I am influenced by what happened very near my home, in the summer of 2019 as one specific example.
This is a small patch of grassed area (roughly 40 x 100 yds; I've just had a look on Google Maps), bounded on two sides by the houses on my road, the road itself, and the rear of some shops at the far side.
A number of crew cabs, 4 x 4s, large caravans and the like turned up.
Pulled the posts out of the ground, to gain access.
Loud music till all hours, fires, hanging their washing from the neighbouring houses' fences and trees, shoite and rubbish everywhere.
Blocked the road when they felt like driving anywhere.
Miserable for those bounding the area, for a few weeks until they went.

I did not feel I had been enriched in any way.


Fair's fair though, we have also (twice, in the last year) been visited by traditional travellers, with horses, wooden carriages, and the like.
Apart from the grass being eaten bare by their tied-up horses, no bother at all.

My first meeting with Gypsies was 1950's when I crashed my push bike, buckled the wheel and cut my leg. The way home was past a Gypsy encampment and when a lady saw me carrying the bike and dripping blood she offered to clean and bandage the wound. I was reluctant , stranger danger etc but she seemed kind. While she was cleaning and bandaging my leg someone straightened out the wheel enough for me to ride the bike home.

Much more recently an old Gypsy used to park his horse drawn caravan on a patch of green by a local crossroads. After he had gone the only signs were a couple of circles where his horse had been grazing and, if you knew where he had had his fire, you could see the replaced turf was not as green as the rest. He was a very knowledgeable person and a very hard worker when he did various jobs for local people.
