Thieving Gypsy B******s...

[colonel]

Note to the Huffers.

I agree with EVERY SINGLE WORD that your bete-noire Alice writes here.

Now, of course, I could be getting reactionary in my middle age. Or it could be that Alice has his ear to the ground,listens to decent, hardworking people, bins the stereotypes and lays into the woolly Liberal Torquils and Susannahs of this world.

Your call.

[colonel]

Which is how we should look at it.

[colonel]

They are approaching neo-fascist now.

[JonnyHungwell]

But most travellers are thieves, simple as that.

[JonnyHungwell]

Nothing wrong with Neo Fascists, is there?

[NeilUK]

You know this for a fact do you? Know many travellers? Or have you been reading the papers?

[Sam Slater]

I agree, Alice. Like with all groups of people, there are good and bad. Some are thieving fuckers and some will rob you blind as soons as your back's turned.

As a 12-14 year old, I used to bundle hay into bails and help some travellers to pack them onto a big cattle truck every week, from about this time of the year upto the beginning of October. It was back-breaking work for a young lad, and all I got was a fiver a day. My parents would have killed me, working for the 'gypos' but I always had a laugh and they never ripped me off.

I was even allowed to get involved with a few fist fights, and watch the older guys slug it out, Saturday nights to win their beer money back.

Some are thieving cunts, but they're no worse than than other thieves.

To answer Neil, I think you read the Daily Mail , Johnny.

[NeilUK]

Nothing that a bullet in the left ear wouldn't cure

[Sam Slater]

Come on Neil: that's fascistic in itself. Don't stoop to their levels....
