I think we need less of the garish dresses now and more fisticuffs and evictions or it'll die on its arse, IMVHO.

The only positives I can draw from watching the Brits is that a) I managed to cull 3 people from my Twitter 'following' list and b) watching Adele give Corden the finger. And not in a Chubby Porn kind of way either.

Channel 4 (or any other broadcaster for that matter) would not be allowed to screen any programme (let alone successive series) that 'portrays a race, falsely and negatively'. Lily livered do-gooders such as yourself have never had dealings with the travelling community - and as such have some rose tinted view of rustic caravans, knife sharpening and lucky heather. It isn't like that. For clarity Irish travellers are thought to make up 15% of the UK travelling population, although the transient lifestyle and economic sub-culture of both the Romany and Irish Travelling community makes this almost impossible to quantify. May I suggest you read 'Gypsy Boy' by Mikey Walsh.

If its anything like the few i know its spot on, most of them are criminals simple as, a high proportion of the scumbags are in jail or heading for it.

First of all they are not Gypsies they are Irish Travellers.
Secondly, they are exactly as portrayed and in fact a lot worse - Ch4 are self - censoring the criminality that funds their flashness [gross as that flashness is].

Grew up in Stourport lad (and, as another poster pointed out before, I know a lot of travelling families - The Nunns, Smiths, Loveridges), which IIRC, has a larger traveller community than Highley. I don't doubt that there are large criminal elements in the community but I wouldn't be so crass to think that it represented the entire population. It would be akin to thinking that Highley was full of 6 fingered, racist sex pests. Which of course, it's not.

you can only judge on what you see dharma , alot of them are theives . the problem i have is if they got in trouble with the police are they do is hitch up their caravan and move on . you have no chance of getting them in court if they decide to move on ...they have no roots to a community so they dont give a shit who they rip off or hurt in the process .......harsh but honest i think .

From my experience of living in a town with 'travelers' I'd say 80% of them had a fixed address and, from my experience on a polling station, most were eligible to vote (though many were illiterate).

Interesting that there have far stronger comments on this issue, yet you choose to round on me - and in that process make fun of the disabled. Also interesting that you admit there is a high level of criminality within the community, and if you grew up Stourport you know exactly the problems that it causes. I certainly did not say that the whole community was criminal as you imply - but then again the truth has always been a stranger to you. Jog On.

They haven't shown themselves to be a persistently racist troll. And where have I mocked the disabled? I'm mocking 6 fingered racist sex pests from Highley. Admittedly, they're in a minority but, when it comes to jerking off your brother I'd imagine that having 6 fingers makes you the veritable King of The Castle.
