"They are an anachronism like bodgers, coopers, blacksmiths and rag and bone men."
THey are not a trade - they are people who have lived their lives as they do for millenia
There is no reason they cannot continue to do so People like you wouldn't allow them to settle, the ghettoes that do exist are not fir for human habitations
Brutalise a people as you do and some of them react by becoming brute
The worst crimes in our society are committed by the settled indigeonous population - from murder and peddling drugs to knife and gun crimes, incest and paedophelia
If Travellers become involved it becomes a Traveller crime - they are never described as "settled crimes"
If travelles leave mess, as they do, it becomes Traveller mess -yet the worst mess up to that destroying out planet is from the settled communities

Simple question - how would you feel if the Travellers you wish to deprive of their lifestyle were settled in your area, how would you react ?
If you are disingenuous ebnough to say you wouldn't mind, work your way through the links I put up and see how the general public reacts
Go look at what happened yo Dale Farm - originally a rubbish dump, then used by Travellers - mass eviction and now back to a rubbish dump for locals
Your attitude to Travellers is as racist as it would be if it was applied to West Indians or Asians... your openly confirm your racism by constantly hurling anti-Irish abuse at me (a born in Brit British citizen, as were both my parents
If you object to being called a racist, stop openly peddling racism
And stop making Travellers refugees in their own native country
