Surely there's ONE weeping heart prepared to come on here and tell everyone that they're being terribly right wing?

I swear the gypsoes only ever seem to invade during the summer months. Where do they go when winter sets in?

It is for my forced knowledge of the shite i have to endure at home on TV, channel 4 (big fat gypsey wedding) is that they return to Ireland (if thats where they are from of course, otherwise that would be stupid)

It is hardly surprising they are so antisocial, everyone hates them and they have been discriminated against for centuries.

Maybe someone needs to work out way to bring them back from the margins of society and behave in a more sociable and respectful manner.

I know this comment will be seen as defending them but from what i can work out things are getting worse not better and something needs to change.

Stop stealing electricity, causing criminal damage, pay where you park?

Finding a list of the things that they need to do is the easy part of this equation, you just need to read this thread to hear the grievances against the traveling community. The tricky part of the problem is to listen to them and think about how to bring them back from the margins of society so they resepct everybody else enough to stop behaving in the way that some of them do.

Maybe if they respected wherever they park there caravan people might start changing their minds, maybe if they were more approachable....

If people stop wanting their drives done for peanuts and building work done by them, they would soon find somewhere in the north to move to.

Simple....do not employ them

They could do many things to help the situation, but then so could everybody else. Question is who is going to stand up and do something first? Or is the situation just going to get worse and worse.

Have they really? Aren't these modern day 'career' gypsies? I thought that traditional gypsies were Romany and that these are Irish dropouts. Genuine question....
