Wickedfaerie Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hi all, just thought I'd advise you not to come through Shepton Mallet at the moment. A large group of Irish travellers are blocking the roads and no-one can get through. I'll try and keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of police are over there trying to sort it, so hopefully they'll be gone by tomorrow. They'd better be as I need to get to Tescos before then!

tharris5 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Slightly aggressive tone but thefatherofgeorge is correct. Fly tipping aside Romany gypsies and Irish travellers are recognised ethnic groups under the equality act so therefore any derogatory term used towards them is indeed racist.

Smeble Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I shared a room in the Army with a guy who was a proper Romany gypsy, the words he used to describe Irish travellers would probably get me banned from this forum, suffice it to say he didn't like them much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
