Had this sent in. People are constantly abusing and rejecting the basic human rights of Travellers. We can't get into pubs. We can't get into venues. We get followed around shops by security. Yet it's tolerated by society. It's been like this for generations

If a Traveller wants a better life in the UK or Ireland, then we have to pretend we are not a Traveller. We have to pretend in order to be accepted and given a fair chance at the whip and to get a fair chance at life.

The truth is that Israel doesn't want peace. They don't want the hostages released. They just want to continue the genocide.

#Appleby Fair should not become a ticketed and licensed event and should instead remain “a large informal and often spontaneous gathering” – says a wide-ranging independent report published last week. Read the full story here 👇 travellerstimes.org.uk/news/2025/03/a…

Earlier today, I got into a confrontation with a security guard who was following my wife and children around a shop. This is a common issue when members of the Traveller community enter this store. Discrimination exists in many forms.

Members of the Māori community travelled to Scotland to show their support. This video is a record of them outside the Scottish Parliament on Saturday 5th April. May thanks and much respect to them travelling such a distance to show solidarity. vimeo.com/1074609094

Fair play to Oein DeBhairduin ✨ on what was a wonderful conversation last night with Tommy Tiernan The topic of Traveller headstones has always been one of misunderstandings and ignorance. It is amazing to see more of my community represented on National television. More power to ya.

The fact I have to put on a settled person's accent to gain access to a restaurant or hotel shows just how far we still have to go in our battle for equality. #Travellers #Racism #Discrimination #Accent

Parkdean Resorts, this family has been evicted from your Vauxhall Holiday Park Resort by a security guard because you have a list of Traveller surnames that are being denied. Pontins had a similar list, too. Absolutely disgraceful racism. facebook.com/share/p/14zkU8…

I am sick of seeing people commenting on videos or stories with Travellers in calling us all criminals or worse. It's the same old stories regurgitated every time. When I counter with stories of Dale Cregan or Myra Hindley, they then resort to name calling. It's baffling.

My cousin was stopping on a piece of ground with his family (with permission), yet the locals in the area are all over social media complaining they are there. What more does he have to do to have a quiet life? It's his family who are suffering. His wife and children.
