I thought they changed the law and you had to be 18 in the UK?

No, as everyone knows, they also vote for the countries that they like. England is nearly always near the very bottom

WRONG!

It's the UNITED KINGDOM that was at the bottom. 😂

So everyone in Europe clearly hates the Northern Irish, The Welsh, and the Scottish too then... as well as the English!

😆I'm cringing for you! 😬

England is part of the United Kingdom right.

So what I wrote is correct.

And what you wrote is also correct

Duh. I am cringing for YOU!

Well in our case it's both because they don't like us AND our songs are bad. We aren't exactly known for being a very musically gifted country, it's almost as bad as our food!

Come on…. Music which has originated from the UK is respected hugely around the world. You only had to watch last nights gimmicky rubbish songs to appreciate how much further ahead we are in the music industry. It’s embarrassing that we’re still associated with this ‘singing’ contest. And I use the word ‘singing’ very loosely……

NO you said ENGLAND were at the bottom in Eurovision! England was not. It was the UNITED KINGDOM!

Nice try though, but you got it WRONG. So what you wrote is NOT 'correct.'

As I said, I'm cringing for you.

When you're in a hole...... 😆

Don't double down, you're 100% wrong. And you know it.

You can't just 'yeah but yeah but ENGLAND are in the United Kingdom so I am RIGHT!!!' because Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland are in the United Kingdom too, so by your reckoning, they must all be deeply disliked too!

Just admit you were wrong for goodness sake. Everyone can see you are!

What's wrong with a school aged child getting married instead of taking her GCSEs 🤔Is that a genuine question?

Should parents let their kids not bother with school/education if they want to? What if they really, really want to stay home and become a world class Fornite player instead?

Well my youngest dc hated school and left at 15 refusing to take exams or go back! He is now the highest earner out of my four dc! Not everyone is academic and wants to learn further than reading, writing and maths! Schools only cater to academic learning and for some people that doesn’t work! That girl will never go without and will have a lovely home and not because of who her father is. Providing for your family well is a matter of respect and honour amongst traveller men. Like i said before who are the mugs? Frazzled women who are running themselves ragged trying to raise a family, work a career and pay the bills or a travelling wife who’s responsibilities are her home and children?

Down to jealousy a lot of the time though. I’ve travelled a lot, and in comparison, many countries are inferior to the UK.

Go on name a country that's inferior to England and I'll tell you how you're wrong. There isn't a single nation on this planet worse than England.

I don't like to toot my own horn but I've had the privilege of travelling around the world and when people ask me where I'm from they are utterly astounded that I'm English, because usually the English that they know are rude, slovenly and incredibly hostile. People keep saying I must actually have been secretly born to Scottish parents which did make me laugh!

i travel the world for work and can say that the people that are most disliked by others are Americans, Russians and Arabs!

Wow its like talking to a two year old.

What I wrote is absolutely correct.

Maybe you need to go back and get some more education yourself.

Writing that England is often at the bottom of the Eurovision is correct, as England is one of the countries that make up the U.K.

Do you understand geography?

I think you'd like Afghanistan, girls there don't have to trouble themselves with education and jobs either, child marriage is legal and women only have to worry about raising children and keeping a home.

So you don’t want them influenced by any other opinions. Fair enough I guess. It’s a common enough thing to do - I know people who home educate for similar reasons

Your post about the children was quite hard to work out - what’s the relevance of the smoking or snogging to the traveller kids?

I'm talking about Rom kids, not Traveler kids.
No I don't want them influenced by those sort of opinions, not "any other opinions.". They are allowed to know plenty about the Gaudja world, which they live in too and learn about other ways of life, but they don't need to learn trash as being normal at that age when they don't have the skills to understand it, and just react badly.

My older ones got pressured to get involved with smoking drugs or get bullied and either accept a lot of unwanted sexual stuff or accept being sexually assaulted.

It's not the sort of 'education' I want for them.

Someone kindly explain to Zov that England is part of the U.K.

If the U.K comes last, it means that England has also come last.

England being a country in the U.K.

You’re so right. I don’t know why being a housewife is so frowned upon in this day and age. Not everyone cares for education and they still do well for themselves. You’ve only gotta read some of the threads on here from women frazzled working full time and still required to do all the childcare and pay half towards the bills while their husbands are out doing the dirty on them 🤦🏻‍♀️

I don’t care if you believe me or not! Both Russian and Arab tourists are universally hated because of their rudeness, the way they treat staff and how difficult and demanding they are! In my workplace if we know we will be dealing with these nationalities we know its going to be a hard day and other customers complain about them as well.

BridgetJonesV2 · 17/05/2026 13:11

Sadly very normal in the traveller community. Women aren't valued, not allowed to be educated past age 11, and taught to be slaves to men cooking and cleaning, and other things that would get me banned from talking about. It's horrific.

Every single thread? Is there something wrong with you? I believe I have spoken negatively about England on two threads total. So you writing "every single thread " is complete bullshit

I am not following you around threads. You are following me.

I wouldnt even remember what you wrote on another thread. You remember what i wrote in another thread and bring it here.
So weird.
Again, stop stalking me.
