Been watching the series on Netflix and really like her, she seems smart and strong and puts up with a lot. The only thing I don’t understand is allowing the kids to go to Tyson’s fights, he even says he doesn’t want them there.
Has anyone else seen the series?
it’s made me really intrigued about the traveller lifestyle and how things must be for females

How are they good role models?

Tyson said: 'I'm a liar, a cheater, a proud, vain person. Everything that's bad I do or have done. We all make mistakes, don't we?

'The only thing I ever regret in life is having sex before marriage. If I could erase that then my life would be practically perfect. I regret all the filth that you do with people

He says he’s slept with over 500 women, and he met Paris when he was 17. So he’s been shagging round on her in all these years and doesn’t regret that but only regrets is having pre-marital sex. Because shagging around on her after marriage is fine apparently.

And she accepts his infidelity because of the money and lifestyle.

You seem to approve of them for very superficial reasons.

Not superficial at all, I think they come across well as normal human beings and I like that they have found their own success in life. People are desperate to hate travellers, but I bet you wouldn't feel as strongly as say Liz Truss's husband staying with her after her affair or Tom Jones being a serial philanderer

CornishBarbie · 26/08/2023 05:50

Also, he admits to the chaos he's caused himself as a result of his poor mh. I think there's quite a bit more to Paris standing by him than accepting his infidelity because of the lifestyle it affords her
She seemed such a good mum to me too.

I absolutely would judge Liz Truss husband.
Did he also cheat with 500 women, was there overlap with Tyson Fury's?

Liz Truss cheated, not her husband. Its not the point I'm making anyway, I'm saying I think they come across well in their circumstances and they have made a good and secure life for them and their kids. Not sure why people have such a huge problem with them?

Posts like this sound uncomfortably racist. Have you considered that they have made the most of the circumstances they've been raised in to create a good standard of living?

People have explained loads why they have a problem with them, have you not read the thread?

WTF is the Liz Truss whataboutery? And Tom Jones is a well known piece of shit too.

Yes and I don't agree, it's a forum for a variety of opinions not just yours. I think it's racism.

HarlanPepper · 26/08/2023 06:31

I liked her a lot too.

SoSad44 · 26/08/2023 06:34

I still don’t understand how it’s legal to take a 12 year old out of school.

I haven’t even stated my opinion!
But just to clarify, you don’t agree with any of the reasons people have given for disliking the Fury’s (infidelity, encouraging the female children to forego an education, wishing the dog dead) and are putting all criticism of them down to racism?

I think it's clear you're not sharing the same one as me, really obnoxious tone to your posts and so unnecessary.

Proudgypsy · 26/08/2023 06:39

As you can see by this thread, a large portion of society hate gypsies and travellers purely because of their ethnicity. So the responses don't surprise me one bit.

Same, they'll think it's different to the racism they don't agree with in their heads though.

LonesomeRanger · 26/08/2023 06:42

I quite like them both. I think they have both opened the door on the traveller community and that is not a bad thing.

I do think she is a strong woman, and does have to put up with his moods, but in return she has access to 50 million.

LonesomeRanger · 26/08/2023 06:45

Travellers aren't role models for anyone

I've interacted with many of them in my job, and I've always found them very polite and respectful. I think we get a lot of bad press on them in our media.

Our own society is on its knees and is hardly a role model to anyone.

LizzieSiddal · 26/08/2023 06:47

This thread has brought out lots of racists.

I know a family at our school really committed to the education of their daughters. And the girls are excelling in school. Mum is lovely and more traditional, I actually initially never realised they were travellers until I became friends with the mum on Facebook!

Sorry to keep quoting people but your last sentence sums it up.

Most people probably encounter gypsies and travellers every day without even realising, because they are just normal people. But they base their opinion on old stereotypes or bad eggs which are found in every ethnicity.

pickledandpuzzled · 26/08/2023 07:15

Can we disapprove of elements of a culture without being racist?

People were criticising the education of the children, Tyson's behaviour and Paris' tolerance of it. Only one made a blanket comment.

hot2trotter · 26/08/2023 07:17

These kind of "reality" tv shows are mostly fake anyway and aren't a real representation.

He's a dog, a known cheat, and she's another doormat, Colleen Rooney type, who puts up with it for the lifestyle.
