Children from Harris Academy were seen throwing things at the travelling community on PR

Well done to those ED parents who have successfully taught their children dubious values

Travellers in the media video.

I have no idea of how many vehicles are on Peckham

Rye nor how many families. I don't like when people

don't deal with there own shit, I presume most people don't. However, and its not about making excuses for "fly tipping" this thread has an

Underlying tone these people are unapproachable.

If the people complaining on here about the "fly tipping" saw any locals dumping rubbish, would there reaction be based on the individuals, would they offer any info on Southwarks facilities, or is it as simple that they just wouldn't want to know.

Scotlands travellers have a long and very diverse history. And unfortunately suffer the same prejudices.

I used to live in a tenement in Dundee, and every year a group of "tinks" as they were locally known used to come to a patch of waste ground nearby.

To the best of my recollection they neither caused any trouble nor left any litter.

But still people used to talk about them in derogatory terms.

It's sad that so many people seem to want to live in a world where everybody else is just like themselves.

I agree Sue, it's sad when faced with differences,

it seems easy to condemn without any communication,

Automatically expecting a certain behaviour, as another poster has put on the other thread, I can see how there surrounding space could be used to

offload not only rubbish but blame.

Whatever the case here, these people were guilty

soley down to being travellers by some posters on here.

Where are all the people condemning these children and saying what do you expect, all ED children are bad and do this?

It would have been a different story if it had been Traveller children throwing things at ED residents.

Posters on here would have been falling over themselves to comment and complain.

Wouldn't they?

Every bigot under the sun relies on "personal and anecdotal experience" to confirm their prejudices. It does not, however, mean they have objective evidence to prove their assertions.

And for those bothering to debate with ChrisBeach, this is the chap that thinks that Enoch Powell is misunderstood, so you're wasting your breath with logic. He'll just accuse you all of being left wing for disagreeing with him.

Sorry for some strange reason the forum allowed me to post a duplicate post which was still showing on my phone as unposted.

Seeing as you lifted that from my post, feel free to PM for a list of my interactions with this delightful section of society.

I'm not interested in your personal experiences: all they would prove is (a) you've had a set of experiences with a limited number of a demographic or, potentially, (b) you suffer from confirmation bias.
