The travellers were well able to play the 'racist' card when they didn't get their way

Strike up a conversation with even a liberal pole and see what they think of how we mollycoddle travellers, polish ( big bodybuilding frame) guy I know works in lidl, he takes zero sh1t from the travellers who send their kids in to lift and even less from the parents who try and deny what was staring pavel in the face.

Yeah, I've a Polish acquaintance who has mentioned the whole traveller thing to me many times. He struggles to understand how we let them get away with the whole schtick.

I heard a group of Travellers who are camped/halted out Dublin Airport way are seeking 6 figure sums to move on so that we, as a country, via the taxpayer can build a new runway. You know, to improve our connectivity and our economy.

You have to hand it to them. They see a weak spot in the National Governmental/NGO psyche, and milk it for all it's worth. No one will say feck off at all, take it to the courts. Oh no.

But sure they don't care, they just drive their jeeps and camper vans and rarely use airports going back and forth between UK and here. I have often wondered how the heck they got visas to Australia to wreak havoc over there also. I hope they are on a blacklist by now.

Bought a car off a pole several months ago, very interesting man, well educated professional, told me how his grandad was a card carrying communist but how he himself was a social democrat who was firmly on the left here.

He would be considered an extreme right winger by the Irish media however when it comes to travellers, he believed they should be forced to assimilate as that is what happened in Poland post WW2, Poland had a huge gypsy population but under communism, that kind of difference is viewed as subversive, I'm no commie and if travellers behaved like the amish, I'd say let them take their kids out of school, marry their own kind and live separately but that doesn't happen, traveller culture is a dependent one in complete totality.

In the past few months we've had Margaret "De gubbermint is robbing me!" Cash pulling publicity stunts with her seven children before racking up her 39th criminal conviction. We've had Travellers refusing six homes built for them in Tipperary at a cost of €1.7 million to the taxpayer because they didn't come with stables and six acres of land for horses. We've seen numerous additional policing resources required in Drogheda because of a feud involving stabbings, hatchet attacks, kidnappings, and car bombs. And now we have Travellers living in €100,000 camper vans while claiming social welfare.

The spin machine must be working overtime in RTE and Pavee Point trying to deflect and cover up all of this.

It's clear that "ethnic minority status" has only made the situation much worse, because Travellers now feel that they have immunity from criticism.

Ehh you forgot beating the cr** out of an amateur soccer referee in a car park after a match.
But they are sorry now, they probably found better use for the golf club.

Anyway according to the likes of blueblackblue it is probably the fault of the referee for now engaging with them enough. :rolleyes:

They must have been paid something. But they were supposed to go to Coolquay in North Co. Dublin instead or something. I bet the residents of that quiet backwater are absolutely thrilled they have been diverted to a private development in Swords. Wonder what the purchasers in that development think now.

The halting site Travellers could have applied for council housing at any time, but no, they waited until the optimum time. Have to give them credit for being wily all the same.

What about these entrepreneurs...

A man has pleaded guilty to blackmailing the boss of a brewery after a group of Travellers set up camp on its premises.

Thomas Ward (43) admitted demanding £20,000 (€22,455) from Thwaites Brewery chief executive officer Richard Bailey with menaces in May this year.

Ahead of a scheduled trial at Preston Crown Court on Monday, Ward, of Aspull Common, Leigh, also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to burgle Thwaites Brewery in Blackburn, Lancashire, and conspiracy to commit criminal damage...

More than £200,000 (€224,559) worth of damage is estimated to have been caused to the brewery when a group of around 100 members of the Travelling community set up camp over the bank holiday weekend.

Some charming background info to this...

UK brewery Thwaites has been left with £100,000 worth of damage and been forced to pour 1,700 pints of beer down the drain after a 100-strong group of travellers invaded its premise, smashed windows and urinated in its offices.

The UK media have no qualms about calling them Travellers. Refreshing to see that. Perhaps it's because they do not have Ethnic Status is UK or something?

That's a contradiction in itself anyway, because they WANT and HAVE ethnic status here, so they should be called what they demanded to be classified as surely?

Enda Kenny left a dish best served cold all the same.

Well I doubt many of them complete the census either here or in UK TBH.

Those that do are probably settled and law abiding. ( the 30k we know about here...)

The rest of them will head off when the enumerator is due to call.

Your post was overall ridiculous, but I'd like to focus on the bit regarding travellers leaving school.

There was one traveller in my class. He joined in 5th class and going by his size, we all assumed he was older than us. We all got on with him as he was generally a nice guy. He never wanted to learn though. Always in trouble for not doing his homework. Had poor attendance. And when in class, was always looking for reasons to get out. His favourite trick was to break pens so that he had to go and spend the whole class in the bathroom washing ink from his hands. And no, he didn't have constant bad fortune with the integrity of his pens. He left some time in 2nd year and I assume it was when he turned 16.

I didn't stay in contact but I have see him around our town from time to time. He did work though. He spent at least a few years as a janitor/groundskeeper for a local supermarket so he actually paid taxes. He is one of very few positive experiences I've had with travellers. But positive is a relative term here. He is merely one of the better travellers. He disrupted plenty of classes in school that he took from my learning.

He didn't drop out of school because he was treated badly or differently. He dropped out because he didn't want to be there. We were all treated the same. He just chose not to learn because he didn't see the point.

tl;dr Graces7, stop making stuff up. It doesn't work.

I get your point here, but genuinely when I read that I feel sorry for that young lad.

He was turning up for school so there must have been something inside that wanted to learn. But at the same time he probably wasn't encouraged one bit at home to do his homework and therefore fell behind.

The reason he was always trying to get out of class could well have been that he was terrified he was going to be asked a question or asked to read and he wasn't able.

My heart goes out to any child in that situation.

Something definitely has to change because anyone born into the traveller lifestyle really doesn't stand a chance until the mindset of the parents are changed.

There are plenty of exceptions, I personally know some really nice settled travellers but they have taken a conscious decision to remove themselves from the lifestyle.

Hopefully more will do this over time.

PS BBFAN can probably fill us all in on what temerity means.

BTW I have a new measure in whether to bother engaging with some posters.
If their posts are thanked by a certain poster, who is lurking in these parts at the moment, then they are not worth responding to as the content is of the type that people often appear to dump in halting sites.
