I don't give a shit what you remember from your limited experience - I recorded them for thirty years and took down exactly what life was like in the frist pert of the twentieth century throughout Britain and Ireland
I asked you what you would do with those who don't conform to your stereotype middle-class image (part of Travelling People rdio Ballad recorded from locals just like you)
You decline to answer
Yours and Iain's silence is answer enough - you agree with the Harry Watton 'Final Solution' - I never doubted it for a minute
Your description of "special status" which includes being forvced to live on sites without running wwater and sanitation, (the tiny minority who are luckyy enough to find somewhere to stop) is a racist echo of how the Nazis described the Jews.
