Peter Casey's beliefs of Travellers' ethnicity Part II

"TRAVLERS WANT TO BE MADE AN ETHNIC GROUP OF SETTLED PEOPLE THROUGH LAW"

This confuses me also. What are they asking for? I thought they were an ethnic minority because they are a nomadic culture or something like that.

"A PROTEST MARCH AGAINST Mr PETER CASEY AND ALSO WE WANT TO GET IT THROUGH TO WHOEVER THAT IT MAY CONCERN THAT TRAVLERS WANT TO BE MADE AN ETHNIC GROUP OF SETTLED PEOPLE THROUGH LAW"

They are marching against a guy who isn't the President and who lives in America so will presumably hear very little, and care even less, about this. For what reason? Its hardly because he express what turned out to be a very popular opinion a few months ago.

And the other point is that they want to be made an ethnic group, which they already are. Or do they want to be settled people legally? Am I right or missing something?

I was wondering the same - read it several times but can't figure it out. Even read it in a "howya boss" accent but it still doesn't make sense.
I'm getting the feeling they're just off up to Dublin on the rob for a day, and this is cover.

I'm sure they're unhappy that Peter Casey got 23 percent of the vote nationwide, and even more in constituencies that have greater populations of Travellers. If he'd got 1 percent of the vote, they wouldn't be taking to the streets.

Interesting too that they now want their so-called "ethnic minority" status enshrined in legislation -- probably with provisions that anyone who criticizes them can be prosecuted for "racism."

Grammar is racist.

I'm assuming that's what the "THROUGH LAW" part refers to! Plus, the references being able to arrest white people for racist slurs against blacks. It seems that they want similar legislation for themselves.

The spelling and grammar is actually better than I've seen from many other Travellers online. Many Travellers have very little formal education, so spelling or grammar is not their strong suit.

The start of this March should be interesting, as they all try to drive to within a foot of the start of it, and abandon their cars/jeeps , there might be a bit of bateing done.

It'll be the biggest assemblage of UK-registered Toyota Avensis' in history.

Solidarity might be a bit lacking at this protest, since the only groups Travellers seem to dislike more than settled people are rival Traveller families.

The whole thing could disintegrate into a Judean People's Front type farce.

I'd put money on it showing them up for what they're all about.

Now that I think of it, you know how people made small fortunes setting up stalls selling umbrellas and folding chairs during the popes visit, if any of you know a good supplier of cheap slash hooks, there could be a good business opportunity in this.

If you go into my local farm store, you have to ask for the slash hooks as they can't keep them on display - they got cleaned out any time there was a wedding or funeral.

You'd be robbed blind. Business in ruins.

Great business idea. :pac:

Might get some Big Joe Joyce t-shirts printed up for the day.

It would be terrible if their homes were broken into while they are at the protest.

True, you'd want some fairly robust security alright. You could operate through a hatch like the all-night petrol stations.

“PROTEST MARCH FOR TRAVLERS OF IRELAND IN DUBLIN ON THE 2nd DECEMBER 2018

Are they not jammy enough already? And also, is there a version of that paragraph that actually makes sense?

Careful now, we'll get lynched in the press if we use the N word. Stick the P word in there instead.

Or more likely the 6 letter n-word was beyond their spelling ability, while the 4 letter p-word just about wasn't.

Of course they won't. They seem to NEVER get arrested no matter what they do.

According to the Pakistani community the term used here to describe them P**i has the same racial connotations as the N word to a person of African descent or indeed calling a member of the travelling community a K***k*r

Which I don't think they like. So how does one deal with an ethnic minority making a racial slur on a different minority here in Ireland? Better call Jennifer Zampadildo, she will know what to Tweet

Reminds me of the time those three Afghan lads were beaten up and the press went batshïte crazy about how Ireland was full of neo nazi white supremecists until it was discovered that the attackers were travellers, and then the whole thing was quickly forgotten. They even cancelled the anti racism march if memory serves!

Probably scared that those in the march would get their heads kicked in, or their cars stolen or more likely return home to find their houses ransacked!
