Travellers... where are they supposed to go?

[40somethingJBJ]

A post on my local “Spotted” group about travellers having pulled up on a car park nearby got me thinking. A good chunk of the comments were saying the police needed calling to get them moved, and then a couple were saying they needed reporting for moving around, and “if we’ve got to stay put, so should they”.

But where exactly are they supposed to stay put? The whole thing about being a traveller is that they travel. Nobody wants them parked up near by, yet the same people want them to get in trouble for moving around. Seems a bit of a no-win situation really!

Anyway, I’m not trying to cause any arguments about rights or wrongs, I’m giving no opinions whatsoever on this group of people, I’m just musing and wondering where exactly they are supposed to go at a time like this?

Who would have thought @LastTrainEast the government?
That's what the thread is about

Anne of greengables Sorry that was your experience of the free education system that your parents could enrol you in. My experience of working in the system with traveller families was not a positive one either, threatend by the children and the parents, told to fuck off every single day by the children that we were trying to educate, spat at, slapped and punched and told by 7 year old boys that they will get their cousin to rape you, nothing done by the school or the LEA to protect us because nobody was willing to upset the traveller parents. No, i didnt have a great experience either.

This thread will soon go poof! Only anti-American threads are allowed to stand.

The travelling circus had set up their big top on 22nd march in my town right before lockdown and are stuck there living on the car park

Exactly my point there is good and bad in everybody
Do I tar everybody with the same brush no
I gave my children school a chance and the teachers a chance

Just because some are bad not all of them
