I glorify nothing - Traveller lifestyle is a fact and has been for thousands of years - far from glorious, tanks to persecution
There is not a single crime you can mention that isn't an ingrained part of settled life - not one, yet there are crimes that are not part of Traveller life and are exclusive to settled living
Traveller crimes are largely ones of need rather than of acquisition - from out=r own experiences, Travellers a=re not an acquisitive people
Rubbish
Travellers lave a mess where they stay - the settled community pollutes society as a whole - our rives are polluted with industrial chemicals, the seas are full of toxic rubbish that is gradually killing off marine life, our beaches are covered with litter....
THe settleed community is in a position to dispose of rubbish on an organised basis - Travellers are not in this position
During the various dustmens strikes our streets weer full of rotting, rat-infested rubbish because our system broke down
The "normal" community prioduces thousands of time polluting rubbish than ever the Travellers could
Domestic abuse idf a nationwide major problem as is child poverty and neglect - now reaching crisis point in the poorer arts of the UK
Childeren are far better cared for in Traveller communities because they have retained the importance of the family farmor strongly than has happened in the settled communities
Knif and gun crimes and gang warfare is virtually unknown among Travellers, it is rife on the streets of Britain
Prostitution, paedophelia, rape, sex trafficking, incest... features of life in the settled communities - largely absent in Travelling communities
A few years ago, a rogue Traveller family hit the headlines with it's supposed "slave" practices, while "normal" Brits have helped re-introduce international slavery by filling its shops with goods produced under slave conditions
Unemployed workers are now being forced to take work for wages which drop their living standards to below the poverty level

Now - unless you are prepared to dispute any of this with anything other than persona abuse, please take your racist stereotyping elsewhere
