Why do travellers have a bad name?

Every summer open spaces are taken over by gangs in caravans, at one point we had 13 caravans and each at least two vehicles

Dirty people, they’d rob your 90 year old grandmother in a blink of a eye.

[@MarkRigler]

Fair point

[@galenmarick8850]

They want society to accept them BUT they don't accept society

[@MarkRigler]

Wise words

[@FUK-ULEZ]

Well, i got burgled by them, so you know how i feel, not to mention a lifelong list of other bad experiences.

[@Kentpaul1988]

Why do they have a bad rep, well I can only speak from my experience, so here goes first of all when ever they turn up in my town, they go on mass robbing sprees at my local ASDA supermarket, usually in the evenings, just before the store is about to shut, second reason, they go in my local libarary and cause chaos, by threatening the staff and pulling books off shelves and urinating in the isles, this is girls buy the way. Third reason they go in my local gym and hassell the women and try to start fights with anybody who tries to stop it. Forth reason when ever they leave where they are illegally staying they leave a complete shit tip behind them, P.S before any body says I am just hating on gypies I am not becsuse I have had many interactions with Romany Gypsies and they have never caused any trouble and are very respectful, but these Travellers or Didycoy's or whatever name they choose to go buy in my experience are nothing but ferel animals, who cause chaos where ever they turn up. Maybe there are good ones out there, but I can count on one hand the ones I have met.

My personal experience is attempting to steal my motorbike out of my shed and verbally abusing my wife when she stopped them , stealing my tools , digging up my elderly neighbours driveway without permission until her son rushed from work to stop them , gangs terrorised my local shop stealing ect ect , but I think the worst was trying to press gang my son into slavery (google it Lincolnshire,shocking) and general abuse refusing to leave my home until they replace my drive , I could go on and on . PS must mention taking over seaside car parks so hard working families can’t visit 🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@galenmarick8850]

At least you can count coz they can't....... except when they are fleecing people out of cash!!!!!

[@petercurrell9344]

I was in a moterhome club they removed one member for leaving rubbish. If they behaved themselves I would not mind a few travelers pitches in my local park..

[@MarkRigler]

It's the one rule system, one rule for them, one rule for everyone else

[@Hobbit55-xw5th]

Theres the good and the bad travelers just like theres good and bad housing estate dwellers, it's the bad travelers that started the hate against travelers

[@MarkRigler]

Very true

[@darrellholland1523]

Because they work hard to earn it! lol

[@rockinginafreeworld3256]

Freeloaders!

They live like Rats and sheep

[@philip.morris]

Its a bit unfair to paint all travelers with the same brush. I've known some over the years. Very private people. They always make time to talk to me, and are always fun to talk to.

[@lucarocca6112]

Absolute propaganda , If anyone is still watching this please know this is not true and is so blatantly racist. This is the new suppression we have to fight against. Love to all travellers. We are all the same so stay together before the media turns on you too

[@MarkRigler]

How is showing the rubbish and commercial waste that was left behind untrue and racist?

[@TannerColinUK]

Unfortunately very few will agree, myself included. Travellers cause nothing but misery whenever they are around where I live. The amounts of rapes and thefts go through the roof when they're in town. A couple of years ago every single pub, bar and restaurant in town closed for two days while travellers came through for a funeral.

[@biga6664]

this is in no way racist. believe it or not when people say gypsies or travellers they dont specifically mean eastern european 'gypsies' they mean these thugs, theyre two different groups, even if the lifestyle was first started by eastern european gypsies, albeit not in the same disrespectful way as modern travellers, anyway the government are truly the true enemies in every sense but no one wants to admit that, so the comparatively tiny issues the travellers bring are big problems to most, that being said they certainly arent doing any good for anyone.
