Subject: RE: BS: Dale Farm Traveller Evictions
So if they all changed their way of life tomorrow would it make discrimination any the less from non-gypsies, somehow I don't think so. There is a gypsy camp near where I live in North Bristol which fits in between the local shopping Mall and an airfield. The surrounding green is landscaped and doesn't look out of place at all infact the new Bovis housing development is more of an eyesore than the camp. The mobile homes are neat and well set out, no rubbish on view really quite tranquil in comparison to the city centre a few weeks ago. The gypsies are hardly ever seen except if there happens to be a wedding but very rare and certainly no fighting or raping as far as I can see.
