on the other hand.
I would defend my property against anyone, whether they are travellers,or people who live in houses.
I believe the farmer Mr Martin from Wisbech,was right,not because the burglars were travellers,but because the Police were not protecting him,he had been burgled before and had to protect himself,it is irrelevant whether the burglar is a traveller or a house dweller.,he was under attack,and was not being protected by the Police.
travellers have committed violent offences,but then so have house dwellers.,there are probably more attacks on house dwellers by other house dwellers,than attacks by travellers on house dwellers.[please correct me[with bona fide statistics] if I am wrong
violence against others should be condemned,regardless of whether the perpetrators are travellers or house dwellers.
let us not forget that the majority of travellers are not violent to non travellers, can anyone provide statistics that this statement is wrong?
one step to reducing crime and particularly drug related crime would be to legalise all drugs.
