Please get things straight here - Irish Travellers are not Gypsies. The words gypsy is from Egypt - those of North African and Mediteranean decent that were transient- about as far away from Ireland as you can get!!

In Ireland it is a crminal offence to to stop and camp anywhere other than authorised camp sites - so hence they come over to Britain where it's a civil matter not a criminal one - hence they can be moved on rather than arrested. So remember - not Gypsies......

@TwinBladedD "this makes me laugh" That's because you're scum.

lol stuck for 15 years, this makes me laugh. The brick wall goes up to head height and there is a massive gate way....... Also what are the slaves going to do? hoover up 3 different rooms? i'm sorry but this is way to ridiculous to be real. I'm a traveler my self and I own my own bit of plot which is the best way really. And I must admit that some travelers are uneducated trouble makers but what society doesn't have trouble makers. Blaming Gypsy's for thieving is like blaming Muslims for bombing
