It's mostly just the reporting that goes up really. We saw that after Brexit even in respect of race issues that had not really got more common. I've been mugged and burgled in London a few times but never reported it....I've given up. It is probably more about reaction than reality.

This is from a time and place where Gypsy's ( I insist on using a capital G) would be camping on open places where fly tipping was already an issue, people do these things in quieter places after all. They might add to it as well, especially since things like scrap metaling has replaced season agricultural work that is vanishing as are places they could stop to do it at all. There's a flip side to most stories!

[@morsmagne]

@@taxpayer_revolt During the 1970s there may have been less formal oversight and fewer mechanisms in place to ensure tax compliance (among all groups - not just gypsy community). Nevertheless, members of the travelling community in the UK are subject to the same tax laws as any other residents or citizens. This means they are required to pay taxes such as income tax, council tax, and VAT, among others, based on their earnings, property, and purchases, just like other individuals in the country. Additionally, travellers running businesses must register with HMRC and are responsible for declaring their income and paying any taxes due. There are mechanisms within HMRC to address non-compliance or evasion.

[@LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts]

There is quite a difference though between the domestic rubbish that can be fairly argued isn't collected from roadside sites, although it is no excuse for not taking it to the tip themselves once a week...and the piles of cars!! The scrap metal trade so often associated with the tinker end of travelling people is what people really object to having left on the roadside. Although it is rare now as everything has been clamped down on. Most of what we have on the road now seems to be Irish travelers, not the gypsies that were so common in my Norfolk childhood and a totally different class of people. We often had the children in our schools, and we all thought they were very exciting and glamorous!

@Eddie Hearns a sellout how did Irish traveller's come from the English or England? The Irish traveller's are nomadic people of Ireland, the great famine of 1847 was the cause of most Irish people either emigrating or moving town to town looking for food and work. Most Irish traveller families will trace there origins to the west of Ireland where the famine was at is worst. 2 million died 2 million emigrated. It was genocide by the English as food was being exported from Ireland by the English who ruled Ireland at the time.

This was filmed almost 50 years ago! With all the free benefits given to non gypsies and immigrants in the UK, why hasn’t there been any building of what we call trailer parks here in the US? For a monthly fee they can park their homes and cars on an assigned space. It’s not a bad deal and the trailer or caravan park could be owned and operated by the local Gypsy council. They could have playgrounds and laundry centers. It could work well.
