These are NOT Romany!

The Minister who wants to place those currently referred to as 'Travellers' or 'Gypsies' would not by any chance be considering building a site near his home, would he? No, thought not. we will all be NIMBIES when the llocations are decided.
There are, in fact, very few real Romany people travelling the highways and byways of Britain nowadays. My grandmother was a Rom and I have a good idea what the life was like then. I also lived in a village as a child and young man, which was a regular point of call for genuine Romany travellers. They parked their REAL caravan homes upon a patch of waste ground and they left no mess behind when they moved - so that they would be tolerated when they came again. Today, all we have are people who do not want to pay the price of living in modern Britain. They do not want responsibility for their lives or those of their children. Instead, they would rather live like outcasts and become parasites upon the back of the rest of us, who pay their way in society.
These misfits must be made to realise that they need to live in our overcrowded island as we all do - with respect and tolerance for each other and each other's property, and paying their dues to society.
