Coz..Like a few years ago when plenty of americans thought it was cool to throw money at the IRA before the real horror of terrorism hit their homeland, they just live in a fantasy world and they think that Ireland is full of lepraucans and we treat them soo badly when they move here..and no..this isn't an anti-irish rant, my flatmate is Irish and he's just embrassed about the whole thing especially when people claim they are a different 'race' !!

Is it at all possible that we don't give the oxygen of publicity to this naive man? He might just decide to go back to Utopia and let all the other little Yanklings know that we're not interested in what they've got to say. Then the 'travellers' will stop using these well meaning but misguided kids for cheap publicity.

Sorry? Are you trying to equate breaking planning laws with mass murder and terrorism? Or was this just a really pathetic cheap shot? I love this. Every time the Echo prints a story with the word "Traveller" in the headline it brings out all these swivel-eyed weirdos, foaming at the mouth about something or other they read in last week's Daily Mail. Get a life. Move on. We have bigger problems these days you know.

Tony, you are not swivel eyed or foaming at the mouth. I accept your word on that. But you are pretty smug, posting on here about your life being so successful. Bully for you old chap. By the way I do understand irony, and all of your "long" (7 letters or less) words. My bald pate has been ruffled by your analogy to Uncle Osama. I still don't understand (call me stupid by all means if it helps) why this is relevant to Pie Keys as you so charmingly call them. And thanks for the compliment about my wit. You're a gent.

Comparing what is happening to Travellers in England in year 2008 to what happened to the Native Americans hundreds of years ago makes no sense. Most Americans are embarrassed about what happened to the Native Americans in the past while the British seem to revel in the idea of evicting Travellers in the present.
