TE44 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 https://vimeo.com/172548585Travellers in the media video.I have no idea of how many vehicles are on PeckhamRye nor how many families. I don't like when peopledon'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 anUnderlying 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.

TE44 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Scotlands travellers have a long and very diverse history. And unfortunately suffer the same prejudices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

TE44 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 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 tooffload not only rubbish but blame.Whatever the case here, these people were guilty soley down to being travellers by some posters on here.

P.O.U.S.theWonderCat Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.O.U.S.theWonderCat Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 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.
