Hi,
i'm a Traveller (Romany Gypsy) living in the UK.
Before jumping to answer this question and including all the bad experiences you have had with members of my community, please hear me out.
I went through school from recption to year 11, passed all my GCSE's and hardly had a day off, despite being bullied most of the time.
I now have a good job in an office as an administrator and have recently got married to a hard working traveller, who has a legitimate business. We both pay taxes and neither of us have ever touched anything that doesnt belong to us. Everything we have, we have worked very hard to get. My parents are the same, very hard working and decent people. People who know us, no matter what culture, colour, religion etc. they are, only have nice things to say about us.
Maybe people have had bad experiences with some Travellers but does this mean that they can tar us all with the same brush?
