Both from Redbridge Hollow, where all those lovely, law-abiding, non-troublemaking people live.

Gotta love the way the law calls a shopping trolley a "supermarket transportation cage". Who makes this stuff up?!

I think the transportation cage is the tall trolleys they use on the lorries and in the stock rooms of supermarkets.

Otherwise known as a roll cage.

So, someone nicks some roll cages, goes to a scrapyard and says "I would like to weigh these in, please" ... what a mastermind. Or perhaps they were going to create some avante garde artwork and get a grant for it? ;)

He's obviously learnt his lesson from previous court appearances. That lesson being: Crime Pays.

You've just gotta love racist maths and logic.

18 people breaking the law who aren't Travellers from Redbridge Hollow.

2 that are.

"Both from Redbridge Hollow, where all those lovely, law-abiding, non-troublemaking people live." EMBOX!

It appears to me that many are afflicted by cultural blindness, namely, only seeing wrongdoing when it's by people they see as different.

It's like they only see things when the perpetrator stands out in their psyche. A bit like reading everyday about White criminals and it not registering because we are White so they don't stand out but when a Black person is mentioned or pictured they suddenly stand out on the page because they look different and we notice it.

Mind you, racism was never an intellectual pursuit.

Travellers isn't a 'race', it's a way of life. 99.9% of them are Irish and are not tolerated in Ireland.

Mr ploppy, I take it you havnt ever been a victim of our pykey friends. I have 3 times.. costing me and my family a lot of money. They dont care less about the law and the police are scared of them because of people like you who are always bleating about " there cultural differences" !!
Mr Socks, I am sorry you haven't grasped my simple points and argument. Like I said, racism isn't an intellectual pursuit.

Just for you though I will explain it in more simple terms.

My simple point was this; out of a list of 20 criminals the majority of posts attacking them focused on 2 people who happened to have an address which is a Traveller site and strangely ignoring the 18 people from your own community who broke the law.

Also, I haven't said there are cultural differences but I can't be ar5ed to explain to you what I did say as I fear it would take too long.

P.S. I have been burgled by 2 people from the settled community, had a car stolen by someone from the settled community and been attacked in the street by 3 lads from the settled community. I do not though say all people from the settled community have no regard for the law.

From your post it sounds like it was your own stupidity that cost you and I'm not surprised.

More racist intellectualism. Here's a tip for you, just because you believe something to be true doesn't make it so.

P.S. Your understanding of statistics is almost as bad as your knowledge of the Race Relations Act.

With so many 'travellers' now taking up scarce social houses when they decide to abandon their hallowed 'culture', who's to say some of those 18 are not ex-'travellers'?
