How do you feel about traveller camps?

Fiona Mont talks with some travellers in the Brighton area about how they feel they are treated by society.


I must stress that comments made about the national newspapers and tabloids are not directed at The Argus in Brighton and Hove.

As soon as she mentioned 'christians' she lost me. Another god fearing wet liberal. What a fucking stupid bitch! These pikey scumbags should be sent packing back home, dirty thieving fuckers that they are. Hitler would have fucking sorted them out thats for sure.

@ibanezrgt220 I am the person you refer to as 'She', and I use the term 'Christian' as an adjective and not in the literal sense. If you read several thousand racist comments back you will see that I have already explained that.

I think you will also find that your comments say much more about your standards than anyone else's.

Travellers??? Irish??? These filthy lying scumbags, are not travellers and they certainly arent irish, they bleed the system dry, and have the cheek to sit there in a £30.000 vehicle and yap that they have no money? Fucking vermin should be gassed and dumped in a hole.

[baronesscat]

@TheIraRock Which particular £30,000 vehicle are you referring to in the film?

And do you include children in your judgement that they should be gassed and dumped in a hole?

[chimoio100]

silly question fiona,do you ever wonder why people generally dont like" travellers"?could it be that some of thier number let the rest down by turning up whereever stealing everything that isnt nailed down threatening people that object with violence dumpingall manner of shit .what would be your response if such a thing happened to you?squatters in your house for instance,or your garden.

[baronesscat]

@chimoio100 Don't you ever feel that fellow man, whether living in house, caravan or boat lets you down when you see how they behave.

Don't pretend that all bad behaviour comes from living in a caravan and don't try to stereotype, I will not be catagorised in a box as a 2D object. Would you?

The upshot of it is, there's good and bad in all walks of society, and there's good and bad in all of us.

@dave2806 thank you for your judgement! I have been a traveler for years. Do you include children in your statement that they should all be put down like a pack of rats? Smacks of Auschwitz and pedophilia if you don't mind me saying so, to indiscriminately say that human beings, including children (presumably in your original statement) should be 'put down'.

So do you include children in that or just women and men?

[dodododa]

@baronesscat Maybe rent a house with all the money you get from the government. Then you won't have to deal with all this stuff... and your children won't be smelly.

Travelers complaining about being moved on!!! FFS they are travelers! Kin thieves.

You’re acting like a little child, Grow Up….! =)-

@Wh47n0w1517 Sorry that you were born a spastic, you spastic.

[Wh47n0w1517]

I did not remove the comment, it is still there. It was a double comment, the same, it happens sometimes when the internet connection is slow and when one thinks it did not send. Is your eyesight bad or what? You now that’s bad calling people a spastic as an insult, spastics can’t help being a spastic and are born that way. Shame on you, you little toe rag….=)-

[TheTallyGangi]

@Wh47n0w1517 still saw your comment you fuckin spastic
