So if a group of them parked next to your house i suppose you would give them the benefit of the doubt because they may be nice people?
Nonsense, you would be strait on the phone to get them moved on.
Do you think its justifiable to march through a town with no distancing during these times to prove a point that not all travellers are bad people? It was mentioned above that its like saying everyone in boro is racist because of the woman ripping up the Koran, well would you think a march againt it would be justified at this time? I doubt it.
I myself know traveller families that are good people too but these are people who have jobs, send their kids to school and pay taxes. The march is to signify that there is racist discrimination against travellers but the fact is, people only actually have a problem with the criminal element (which there is an abundance of).
This particular march actually stemmed from groups of travellers being turned away from pubs and bars. Mostly because the pubs and bars are fed up with the constant aggro that follows.
I agree that there are good traveller folk in this country, but to hold a march in these current conditions as if they are a racially oppressed group is ridiculous. People are wary of travellers for good reason. The groups that do actually 'travel' segredate themselves from society and yet complain about being treat differently.
Anyway, its an opinion and only an opinion. If 'good' travellers feel persecuted for no reason then fine, raise the issue but marching through a town during a pandemic as if no traveller has ever done anything to warrant their reputation is just nonsense.
