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.

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.

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

    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder    
    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
