I,m fed up of all these people claiming the firework show which involved a caravan with an effigy of a gypsy in it was a racist attack.

As far as I am concerned most if not all the people in this country are against these people not because of any racial issues but because of the way they choose to live.

They set up camp in any accessible place. This usually means private property. The local councils then have to evict them costing £1000's of council tax. They leave behind mountains of rubbish when they leave. In Cardiff after a week recently the local council had to clear away 100 tons of rubbish.

Their kids rarely go to school.They do not pay council tax, NI, income tax etc.

These people are not true gypsies. They are just scummy thieving squatters that move around the country terrorising local people until they get moved on.

Real Romany gypsies cause no trouble, clean up after them, and are no harm to anyone.

Its a pity the moaners out there like Trevor Philips dont see this as I really feel that this what the trouble has been all about and not about any racial issue.

if you mean gypo's as in pikeys as in travellers.

Then yes, they are scum and deserve all the racist attacks that they get. In fact they deserve more. Poeple who don't contribute to the system, and sponge off it, should not deserve any protection from it!

 

Thats my point. Why are they always called racist attacks. Theyre not. Its just local people that have had enough of their dirty,filthy ways. That has nothing to do with their race.

Chip(i blame the government)........did you say you were a tory?

 

[saracstic mode] pikeys are lovely people and they would never try to con or intimidate anyone. [end sarcastic mode]

 

There's a guy living on common land just outside the village with his horse-drawn caravan and pony at the moment and he's no trouble at all. Hangs around for most of the winter, does odd jobs and leaves as quietly as he arrived - no mess, no bother.

Surely a horse that can draw a caravan is a talent?


Can it sculpt too do you know?

 

I hate the *******!!!

The scum need torching.

The police raided a site near me where they were illegally camped and found:loads of builders tools,drills,saws,electrical tools etc(some with local postcodes on),Tv's,videos,dvd machines,childrens toys.A Toyota Landcruser with no vin plates etc,A Bedford Van.

The Police were sure these had been stolen recently from the nearby area.Also a while back a couple on holiday in their touring caravan had the actual caravan stolen from a caravan site.The police suspected that Gippos had taken it.

Its funny that whenever the Gippos are around the crime rate goes up for the time that they are here??

 

lol....people posting here who clearly dont rember the last time this came up.

 

personally, i think gypsies are cool. totally cool. i really dig them.

 

Corgi,

I think it's safe to say that some of the comments fall foul of SN guidelines, and are really not what this BBS is all about. I'm locking it whilst I refer it on
