"Those of you who are sympathetic to gypsies have obviously never had gypsies live close to you. If you had, your attitudes would be quite different."
We have spent more than thirty years recording Travellers; we've eaten with them, drunk with them, been to their christenings, weddings, and funerals, have visited their homes and had them in ours; have even been given a bed for the night by them on occasion.
If I had to choose a neigbour from among the vast majority of Travellers we have met, or a redneck who makes such crass statements as this one - sorry - no competition.
