...It is important to state that it is not communities that commit crimes but individuals. Those convicted are squarely Henry Long, Albert Bowers and Jessie Cole, not thousands of innocent people who share their heritage. Tarring all Travellers with the brush of these men’s callousness is as unfair as tarring all Catholics for paedophile priests or all eskimos for daft militant wog attacks. |

Oh it's Clare Foges. She has form on this kind of racism, previous pieces for The Times include "Travellers have ignored the law for too long" in 2017, and "Travellers can't always play the racism card" in 2019. It's pretty vile. |

When travellers turned up on a green space across from a supermarket near me last year, the supermarket actually hired a doorman until the travellers were moved on. It struck me as quite an aggressive move, but maybe they had their reasons. |

The oppression of travelling communities is part and parcel of the loss of ownership in common over the past few centuries. Capitalism has carved up our land and granted the rights to it for the pursuit of profit only with otherwise limited permitted residential and recreational use. |

I should add to my praise above for >>26610 that when travellers turn up locally on a park or something and they get abuse in the local press and eviction orders from the council, I've always considered going along and knocking on the door of one of their caravans and having a chat with them and showing them not everyone considers them beneath contempt. But your post has painted them as so hostile to outsiders it's now made me think I'd be walking into Deliverance. |

I fail to see how it is racist to define or criticise a culture. Criminality is not genetically imprinted on them, but culturally it is. It is quite literally how they survive whilst being so isolationist. People who deny this do not have experience or knowledge of travellers, or they are making a point on a technicality ("Not EVERY traveller is a criminal"). Ok fine, but most are. |

I just went to the chippy for my tea. I hadn't been for a while, so when I got my chips, I looked at them and said "this doesn't seem like a lot of chips for £2". The lady behind the counter said "Oh, I'm sorry - that's about the normal amount of chips we give for that price. Admittedly, it's not the maximum amount of chips we're able to give you, though - would you like extra?". |

Really, what have gypsies done for us? David Essex is alright. Is that it? At least Jews have done good science and television and film. |

Gypsies set up camp on university land, and like clockwork the Co-Op opposite has a security guard. They only ever need security guards when gypsies turn up. Is that an act of racism on Co-Op's part by responding to nearby gypsy incursion with beefed up security? |

Police van at Co-Op. Copper inside talking to staff, security guard is manually opening and closing the sliding door, one in one out. These travelling folks sound cheeky. |

The survey also revealed shocking health disparities between Roma, Gypsy and Traveller people and the rest of the population. Gypsy or Traveller men were 12.4 times as likely to suffer from two or more physical health conditions than white British men, while Roma men were five times as likely – both were higher figures than for any other ethnicity. |
