I imagine that the Taliban would have a zero tolerance of 'travellers'.

I wouldn't use birds as an example of tolerance, they also shit where they roost, take the Bristol pigeons case.

I remember your post about doing grounds maintenance - didn't envy you that 'job'

Like eggs n gobby I’ve lived on sites,in fact our place was a big illegal camp for several years , 3 decades ago, on which my missus n I resided.
There was every conceivable type on there: anarcho-punks, New Age travellers, tramps, Romany, Irish travellers, Scottish travellers and families/individuals who were just itinerant workers or who just didn’t want to live, what they felt was, a lifestyle forced on them or they’d been forced out of.
I’ve met good n bad of most types same as in ‘gorgia street’ and the tongue in cheek op is sometimes not that far from the truth as having an illegal camp is a green light for your local and/or opportunist thief as the finger is immediately pointed at the site.
I always try to be unprejudiced about any religion/minority but I have found Irish travellers to be a feckin nightmare bunch who have no respect for ANYONE outside their community/family

Always amazes me how people are so quick to defend those who consistently show a total disregard for the wider population.

 

over the last 30 yrs i have seen almost daily examples of travellers/ gypsies doing what they want at the cost of tax paying law abiding people, and the law literally turning a blind eye to there actions.

Ive been a victim to them first hand to the tune of thousands which i worked like a dog to earn.

Ive seen the aftermath of there visits to a local hospital near me where they come in and destroy the facilities when they are bored while their loved ones are treated. And you know they havent contributed in terms of taxes.

In most decent lands where the law is strong they wouldnt be allowed to behave in this way but here they get away with so much and then god forbid someone voices a dislike ( through experience) they are tarring them all and they are not all bad.

 

There was a thing where a local village was harassed by them and at the annual village fete they burnt a effigy of them. Next thing the old bill was doing them as they had offended the gypsies. Nothing i remember about actually addressing the original problem. 

 

Still waiting to meet my first Not bad one that isnt eyeballing my kit or any other way to make a quick £ off me.

On those grounds if you got done over by a Jew, a catholic, a Asian, the list is endless, you would think they were all wrong un's?
