- After 23 years in frontline security I had a few run ins with travellers. I also met plenty that were just fine. But I talk about the most interesting events of course! When a large group of travellers ran rampant trashing venues to a small village pub being terrorized on a weekly basis..

Typical from the Police. Certain groups just get a free rein to commit crime. Travellers being one of the more obvious ones. It's pathetic but predictable.
It's not necessarily that they just get free rein to commit crime, i assume it's that they're literally impossible to keep track of 😅
Bigots the same
@@zulubeatz1, especially thought crime. I wish those other groups would also turn to thought crime instead of actual crime.
Two-tier policing
Thank you for another fun-filled episode 😀.
When I came to England in 2010 with £60 in my pocket and a promise from a friend to get a job, things did not work out as planned. I spent £63 for the train ticket from Stansted to Bristol (£3 was given by Lithuanian lorry driver at the airport), meaning that i came to Bristol broke. Had to make my way to Weston-Super-Mare on the same day, so that was another adventure. So I end up in WSM, with no money, no promised job etc. It was bad. But I met some travellers a couple of days later, had a chat in broken English and they offered me a job, to help them out in the caravan park, basically just to look after it. They clearly did not need anyone there and the job was given to me because they felt sorry for me and wanted to help me to get on my feet here. They paid me every day, bought me food, cigarettes etc, they were also teaching me English. It was great. I am super grateful to these guys. This is my experience with travellers :)
Well that is great to hear a positive. I am very glad. God bless them for helping you out.
Poor folks even here in Appalachia tend to empathize as we know what it's like. Lived in UK early nineties. Brutal treatment of women had me leaving in six months . No protection for women and children anyways
I could listen to these stories all day.
I've told him many times before that I'd love to sit at the bar with you and just listen.
You're a natural straight-talking storyteller, my friend. More people need to appreciate the work you guys do (used to do).
A really good 'Raconteur'... (great word!...albeit French.)
I was often told (back in the day) to treat people as individuals and not to lump people together. To a point I think that's a fair way of going through life. But let's be honest, stereotypes exist for a reason. I'm sure some travellers are nice enough but the majority I've come across ooze a willingness to fight for basically no reason. Maybe it's a cultural thing, maybe it's due to centuries of discrimination. Frankly I don't care. If I'm in an area with a large group of them, and especially if alcohol is being consumed, I'm getting out of there!
@@drc1247 I started out that way.
You learn. This is a team game.
Individuals are just collateral damage.
not allowing people to steal and be slimy is discrimination these days...
@@paulgibbons2320 not really. it's exactly the tribal people who make life horrible. like these "travellers" are tribal people, they can't join human society, they live in their own ghetto that they bring with them.
Everything is a cultural thing, and their culture should be simply ended. Simple as.
I've seen black and white and everything in between work perfectly fine together, because they all operate on honest, honourable, compassionate framework. There's no future for conflictive cultures, cooperation is the future absolute of the human race, and there's nothing to be done about it. Cultures that can't integrate and cooperate will be wiped out.
And that's a good thing.
Their blood won't be gone, but their descendants will be culturally integrated, functional members of society.
Centuries of inbreeding and criminality you mean
@@misanthrophex Only for certain privileged communities. That doesn't include the indigenous natives of Europe however...
I’m not even sure how I found this channel but this has become one of my favorite series on CZcams.
Thanks!
I'm not surprised the police did nothing. I learned that 40 years ago when my neighbour's corner shop window was smashed in by drunken thugs in the middle of the night. I quickly put my jeans on, grabbed a persuader out of the kitchen drawer and ran out to help. These animals were jeering at him from the other side of the road. The most disgusting thing was I saw a shadowy figure lurking in a shop doorway. It was (still a thing in the 80s) a beat copper hiding waiting for backup.
My first girlfriend was a traveller. At the end of the day if u are not part of the caravan they will break into your house...
😂😂❤❤
Biggest problem is that the police will often not intervene when travellers are involved. Not only that, but the police are terrified of being accused of being racist and the travellers exploit that to the greatest extent possible. End result is two tier policing: one rule for travellers, another rule for the rest.
Had a face like he'd eat your kids lmao. You're a great story teller. Keep up the security stories. They're quite interesting
Glad you enjoyed!
@ 19:42 "We certainly weren't agreeing to Queensbury rules." Loved the phrase! I had me quite a chuckle at that statement!
😂
Great storytelling. You offer a glimpse into a world I will never know. Thank you.
God bless you.
Glad you enjoyed it
As an American with no plans to visit the UK. I love these stories brother! Keep them coming, glad to see the channel growing!
Thanks! Will do!
The neighbours down my street are travellers. Nice family. They had a huge family get together one time and suddenly something happened then the street turned into a battleground. Couldn't believe it.
Sounds like ongoings in Australia
This happened down our way too. The disputes turn violent!
Brilliant show sir really enjoy them as they resonate with me thank you ..saw a massive bundle between two traveller families, firstly i couldn't understand what anyone was saying until one lad said a quote Ive never forgotten ' in this county you need to paddle your own canoe' i guess he was right. But i had no idea how if related to the fracas.😂
I live in Tennessee USA. I worked off duty security at Walmart...Was local LEO. We had issues with Irish Travelers and Gypsys from time to time. A group would come in. Several would break off from the main group and create a diversion and the rest would go to work. Fortunately this was not frequent. There is still a group of Travelers located in Memphis...An hour away from where I live.
Travellers in America?
Yes
@@jamesnincross Absolutly
Well they are travellers lol.
@@jamesnincrossI believe there are some in Canada as well
The thing with travellers is 90% of them give the other 10% a bad name.
😂😂😂😂
@@harambae7014 🤣🤣🤣🙈
Nuff said 😂
Applies to any group of people, or simply people in general, me thinks.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scary stuff indeed. You're a fantastic storyteller, a natural.
Thanks!
Definitely
They wonder why they are despised
11:30 that's the kind of pub where out of nowhere the butchers or bricklayers association has their annual meeting and are harder to deal with than your average group of city lads.
In Germany we obviously don't have travellers but gypsies. The Sinti are those who lived in Germany for the last 400 years or so and are generally speaking quite alright. The Roma from the Balkans however....let's say they make it quite easy to not be very fond of them.
A mate of mine was on first name, proper friend basis with a group of lads of Traveler background, eerily similar to yourself,
the Pub was pulling in *LOADS* of money, it was all fine...then...he was *literally* hit in the head with a keg to take him out of the way before a fight started, there was no animosity toward him(despite the serious injuries he was given, kegs..., and chairs, and tables are *NOT* like Cowboy movies lads!)... , "just gettin' ya out of the way lad" is what they said, as they went on to wreck the place.
Could listen to these all day! Your voice and way of speaking is sensible, funny at times, and engaging all the time.
Thank you! 😃
Another great video. An issue that is often quite diffcult to address because perceived disapproval of the travelling community is often seen as adjacent to racism. I think you did a great job as usual.
I've worked in construction type industries before and when we were hiring different guys for different jobs we'd often talk about run ins with travellers on the tea breaks.
Everyone had a story. Whether it was having your tools stolen and then sold back to you, catching someone in the act, being threatened or finessed in some kind of way, every guy in construction had had some kind of negative interaction.
As a community, I think they are quite hard for the average person (or Gorgey)to understand as they are clearly quite insular and have no desire to fit in to mainstream society.
African american economist Thomas Sowell talks about a certain kind of redneck culture as having a big influence on African Slaves in the 1800s. Lack of discipline with regards to focused, long term work, honour culture that demands violent responses to even the smallest perceived slight, gambling, drinking, illegitimate children and basically living off your wits and engaging in low level exploitative behaviour in order to survive.
I think the traveller culture is another example of this.
My home town has had various issues with them and when i was a touring musician and had to play weddings and birthdays for travellers and circus folk there woukd always be a fight and you had to watch your wallets.
It's hard to say whether that makes them bad people or whether they just exist within a completely different paradigm to the rest of English society. I'd probably lean more towards the latter and that all cultures have learned different ways of surviving that aren't always compatible and that is the root of a lot of judgement between people.
Great discussion, very honest and thought provoking. Honesty and clear headedness are always best.
Thank you. An interesting and thought provoking comment!
@@thatgearguy If you would like the full history of that So well theory check out his book Black Rednecks and White Liberals.
A bloke told me once that Irish travellers come from people that were thrown off their land in the Norman and later Cromwelian conquests & had no choice but to move around landless
@@Hammers.grandad That's interesting, I wonder if that leads to the breakdown of what we could call pro social behaviours?
When I was still living at home with my parents we got burgled by travellers. This was in early 1996. I was a very naive 18 year old at the time and I got talking to one after replacing the tax disc on my car in front of the family house. I didn't know anything about the nature of gypsies at the time and I was trusting of anyone at that time. A people pleaser. During the conversation I inferred that I would be leaving the house later on and he worked out that no one was at home.
I left the house to go to sixth form for a lesson that afternoon. My mum came home from work later that afternoon to find the house had been burgled by jemmying the patio door off the rails. Police attended and did the investigations. They had an inkling that it was the guy who lived in a council flat around the corner and arrested him. My God, I felt bloody stupid after that encounter . Scumbag got sent down for it ( and possibly a few other burglaries). His attempt to smuggle drugs into prison in his rectum was not successful ( not sure how my mum found out about that).
Eeeww!
You're just a great dude, standig your ground without aggression, when it's not necessary. Well, sometimes is, but often clear words and sort of being fearless about a fight is enough. Love to hear your stories!
I appreciate that
That last thing about "not being one of them" 100% accurate, but even then, the right connection (e.g., gypsy from the same primary school) can save your ass in a dangerous situation with them.
13:05 I’m visualising The Expendables when you’re describing the team you’ve assembled 😂
You have a skill for sharing your lived experiences so vividly 👍🏾
If you bought the expendables from Temu.. 🤣
@@thatgearguy😂😂
These are great stories. I would have never thought that a rustic country pub would have problems like that. Sad that the owner cut you and your crew out the way that he did but it ultimately boomeranged back to him.
They seem to think that they can do what they like with no punishment..
Pretty cool to be an unarmed citizen in a nation with armed foreigners knocking around.
@@NoNowwwell Surely a solution can be found and implemented that will solve all of this..
@@freshtoast3879Hmmm I wonder how we could fix it….
Unfortunately they are usually right
I work in a restaurant in Italy, and some of them are regulars, majority are normalish people but some are a bit problematic, they never did anything violent but they steal small stuff like salt shakers and oil, or they get out without paying.
What I understood is that they consider themselves as others outside regular society so they don't feel guilty.
Good thing is that they never try to negotiate on the price they just pay all or walk out without paying, meanwhile some Italians try to lower the bill and I find it very embarrassing.
My grandma called them tinkers and had ana intense dislike for them. Thank you for the stories. The ring true. Never let a traveler into your life.
Lot of different types of travellers. Tends to be the Irish or Romani travellers that cause the problems
As a former bouncer and door guy in the states, your stories resonate deeply with me and always make me reminisce about the crazy predicaments I put myself into make $60-$100/night
Yes it seems kind of crazy when we look back!
I was a strip club DJ off/on for 20+ years. I've had my fair share of scrapes but I knew my role. Some of the guys I worked with were so skilled it was scary. On the rare occasions I did get involved it was to grab the girls and get them out of the way.
With Travellers, it wasn't just how many but distractions and tactics they had planned ahead of time. And that they could communicate in front of us and we had no idea what they were saying. Arrests slowed them down, but it wasn't until they started getting indicted that they finally moved on.
Good luck getting the police to get out of their car. 😂
Please keep telling these stories, you are such a straightforward guy! I have listened to them all and enjoy them a lot! You are professional in every respect, I wish our country was full of more people like you, it would be a much easier place to live.
Thank you! Will do!
I have no doubt you are able to fight, but at the same time you come across as genuinely friendly. Somehow those two things shouldn't go together...
But they do a lot of times. I started working when I was around 12 years old. Doing dishes every other Saturday in a coffeeshop/diner reserved for bus drivers, in Oslo. One of the bus drivers was this big black American guy. He used to be a professional boxer in Chicago, but ran off to avoid the Vietnam draft.
He was a very friendly guy with great sense of humour. I was about 14-15 at the time. A bit reserved and quite chubby weighing around 100kg.
I don't remember how it came to be, but I remember him holding me upside down with a firm grip around my ancles, shaking me so coins from my pocket scattered the floor around us. He with a big happy grin and me laughing to the point I almost wet my pants.
I couldn't imagine him actually fighting anyone although that is exactly what boxers do. You kind of give me a similar impressiom.
Great story. I am a friendly guy. When I worked I had a colder more professional manner I guess. But sometimes being friendly and not being intimidated worked well. Trouble makers usually have a game plan in there head. If you disrupt that game plan they often dont know what to do. I lost count of the times a guy got agressive and I just happily chatted to him, purposely ignoring his rude, agressive demeanor. You could see confusion grow in his face. Then more often than not he would become quite friendly as well.
@@thatgearguy Some time ago, I had a small restaurant outside Benidorm. We had quite a few Brits over and mostly behaved nicely. Although sometimes you looked around tryin to spot the tree they had climbed down from. And you thought it was incredible that those actually had ruled the world once...
Most of the Brits enjoyed the Norwegian cooking as well, but they asked why it was so much dried, salted, smoked etc. And I explained that when you planned on sailing a small open boat over the open ocean for a week or so in order to rape and pillage some God forsaken islands, you needed to be sure your food wouldn't be spoilt on the way. Brits have great sense of humor.
One time I had some problems with, I think, Irish travellers. A group of three. When they got too unruly for my liking I told them kindly to leave.
That didn't agree with one of them. And you know, up in my face trying to provoke something. I calmly told him that I wouldn't fight him. I would just call the Guardia Urbana, then I would lean towards the bar, sip at a pint while I watched them drag his ass off my property. Luckily he chose to leave.
Most trained fighters that I know are great guys. It's confidence. Most people are rude or aggressive due to insecurities.
Trained fighters, or legitimate tough guys have nothing to prove. Most also have a very admirable moral compass (not all, but most).
Some of the best friends that I've had in life are MMA fighters, wrestlers, and Boxers.
My experience is mostly good. The travellers we dealt with were a mix bag. The manager gave me a briefing on this particular family. Some of the members were barred as they fought, and one even got glasses. They fought with themselves because one of them insulted a man with a disability. So when they were coming in regularly, we were a bit weary of them. Overall, they were spot on. But they did try their luck. Trying to stay in when the dress code had kicked in or trying to get one of them in when he was underage or trying to take drinks outside. The staff and some security were bricking it, but I find if you stand your grand and be frank with them, they respect you for it.
I remember working retail security at Wembley Tesco extra with a traveller site next door, they took advantage of the fact I was temporarily filling in from the permanent Guy and didn’t know who was who until a few shifts in. they used to come in and try nick a lot of the Gillette razors. I even caught literal 12-year-olds of theirs with bolt cutters hacking away at bikes outside the store. Madness
I used to do security before S I A licensing different world am 67 now and most of my ex work mates are good days.
Good yarns brother. Love how authentic you are. Keep em coming.
Great content, as usual, brother.
There is an excellent book about the traveller bare knuckle scene called 'King of the Gypsies ' by the legendary Bartley Gorman. A brutal and intriguing insight into their fighting culture .
Highly recommended .
Listening to these makes me feel lucky I’ve never had to fight especially at about 12 stone. Good work as always. I’ve never heard of travelers before that was interesting too.
99% of interactions everyone I know has had with them has been negative. Its not culture, its just being a lout
Mate keep these stories coming. Your life experiences are a treasure
More to come!
The people of Appleby in Cumbria absolutely dread the annual Appleby Fair. Most pubs close. The don't want the agro from these people. Lots of the travels are just pretend travels but act out the reputation for some strange reasons. People are very strange.
Growing up, I had my fair share of interactions with travellers. Found a lot of them to be bullies and always in a pack, never ever on their own.
Throughly enjoyed this one. Particularly the story of the traveler trying to organize a fight with your boys 😂
These stories are fascinating, thanks for sharing
Glad you like them!
Hey just recently discovered your videos, I just done a security course, about to do a doorman course next week, just wanted to say great content ,you sound fair. I've been in working in the construction industry most of my working life and now I want to get into security so I really appreciate your videos. You sound tough but fair.
Keep up the great work.
Stephen from Ireland
Best of luck!
One of your best! Looking forward to your next post.
More to come!
When I see security and travellers I click.
More good stories, your channel is really taking off.
Thanks! I will!
Great channel for me, I grew up on the south coast, worked in the clubs in Brighton, late eighties early nineties, shit don’t change
Quality content, these security stories are great 👍
Glad you like them!
Let's see how many likes for the best story yet. I'm looking forward to the Football Fans one when it's ready.
Great stuff, you're an engaging story teller 👍🏻
I have a friend who owned a hotel in the early noughties and his was the only venue that allowed gypsy weddings to be held. There were fights among themselves at every event. Kids were throwing darts at the bar staff during one. But, he would take more money from one wedding than all his other regular events combined. 🤔
Thanks. Stuck between money and grief!!
Thank you for sharing your stories! I had no idea about most of this stuff and it is so interesting.
Glad you enjoyed!
I am really enjoying these. Thank you. I think your channel will become a lot more popular because this is genuinely great content.
Glad you like them!
Brilliant stories. Big wave from Cape Town, South Africa. P.S. your SA accent was spot on!! Lekka!
Haha! Glad you liked the accent!!
From what I have seen with my own eyes, and have been robbed twice and had my car broken into twice as soon as they moved their vans and caravans in the spare land opposite my flat.
I can say that traveler’s are usually nothing but trouble. They don’t have any care for the law or other people’s property.
Like what you have described, I have seen a huge crew of about 50 of them. Made up of individual families mostly. The landlords I knew in the town that their pubs were close to their campsite, I was told by the landlords that they pull the discrimination card against travellers. Yet they didn’t realise they were like a reckoning ball through the town, smashing up pubs, cars, banging up anyone that looked like they could fight.
There are exceptions of course, but myself and everyone I know will happily say to avoid them at all costs. And I know most of them have access to shooters for a fact.
All the best, love the security stories matey.
A pleasure to share and sorry to hear you had a rough time of it.
@@thatgearguy Appreciated. Only two times I have ever been robbed. First time they stole the very first iPhone. Thing never even had 3G :). Gang of about 5 of them, and I was a wimp back in my early 20s, so not like I put up any resistance.
You got the name right, didn't call them Pikeys. Well done. 👍🏻
Yes, not into abusing folk for no reason.. Thanks for watching.
Love your stories, sir. Being from the US, I had to look up what travellers and gorgy meant. Awesome!
Welcome aboard!
@@thatgearguy TY!
It's very interesting to find out about 'another world'. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
From spotty neckerchiefs and campfires to Moncler , Turkey teeth and Range Rovers.
That was nearly as entertaining as the biker one.👍
Great episode, I enjoy hearing your experiences. As an American, the only traveler I've seen is Brad Pitt, and I think he was faking it...
I like the way you tell it as it is. Brilliant Channel
I appreciate that!
Good story 👍🏽
Thanks for listening
Two tier policing is a real thing.
In my experience it was.
Great channel. Fantastic stories. Subscribed!
One of the positive things that impressed me with Travellers here in Ireland was how they treated gay lads.
Travellers tend to be very religious so they had the views you'd expect. But when they realised how many of their sons, brothers, cousins were killing themselves over it that changed. From my side it seemed like a snap of the fingers, they were so family orientated that they couldnt have that and opened their arms. And unlike our modern lipservice to things, corporate sponsorship etc its genuine love for family.
Really enjoying these stories. Ever thought about writing a book :D
A funny story. I was going out with a traveller girl who i have a kid with. A friend asked, how do you know they're travellers, to which i replied, they have a horse in the front garden of their council house. Didnt ask again 😂
Great videos thanks for all the interesting stories 👍👍
Glad you like them!
Still watching, would love to hear about the gang related stuff from London that happened in Brighton.
Next!
Ur way too nice! I know exactly where that story was going. Business owners always do that shit. That’s why in this are of jersey, New York ,& Philadelphia those owners would have been extorted by making it seem like we had to go to somebody connected to get those guys off their back. Then they just gotta give a little bit to the people that had to sit down as tribute for the favor. Knowing we were the ones that backed them down. Or worse ended up just taking the place from them after a little while.. It’s sad to say, but you can’t help most ppl because they wind up effing u in the end anyway while losing everything themselves in the process. Just like those guys did. Most people don’t believe how much stuff like that happens. The club /restaurant business is a hard business. Especially if that area already has an organization with a strong foothold on it. You’re gonna be paying up for something whether it’s garbage collection, your restaurant linens, / mats, food deliveries or u have to pay the union for the the restaurant workers,n decorators are organized. Definitely not a business for the faint of heart. Great Story. Thanks for the content.
Interesting! Thanks for the comment!
How I found out travelers existed was the movie with Brad Pitt and it “Snatch” lol before that I had no clue what a traveler was
I'm sure most 'travellers' seem to have their nerves wired so they feel less pain, like an on-sreen Brad Pitt character.
Being a good boxer isn't about how you punch but about how well you can take a punch.
thought this one is gonna be a live stream from that olimpics exibition protest :D
Keep these going mate they are golden 👍
Thanks!
@@thatgearguy you're a man of integrity and I really respect that enjoy you're stories
Do a lecture circuit around Ireland please.
I imagine you would have known my mate Chris, he started door work at the Event - went in looking for bar work but once they saw the size of him put him straight on the door.
Always a good night out when he came along, he seemed to know the door staff at pretty much every place we went and we never had any trouble out & about 😅
Hmm I remember a couple of guys at the event but not a Chris. To be fair they had a lot of guys!
@thatgearguy he would occasionally share a couple of stories with us, and his opinion on the capability of a few of the guys he'd worked with - very much like some of your remembrances 👍
(I did email you about that little range too, from an earlier video, like you suggested, but I guess you haven't seen it?)
Confuses me door staff! They don’t like large groups of men but then will sometimes let in a group of Rugby Players, Gypsies or a football firm who could literally smash them and the whole bar/club to bits, and yet be funny about letting in a man on his own even not drunk and agrees to their searches.
I am going to do a video on this very subject!
@@thatgearguyGreat! Many of these places seem like poorly run brothels with no guarantee that you’ll get the product but a very high chance of violence being orchestrated from other customers or employees. I’ve had fun in them myself but there’s quite a darker side as you illustrate at times.
i suppose there is a difference between professionals and rough scrappers.
Big mistake from that landlord.
Did you delete the video about ur take on the riots? Was going to forward it to a friend of mine and cant find the video anymore.
Unfortunately yes. I was bombarded with mad comments and hacking attempts on my account. I just did not have the spare time to moderate. Maybe I will reupload when people have calmed down a bit!
@@thatgearguy that's unfortunate. Thought it was a well thought out response to what is often being falsely covered by many media outlets.
👌
We have a guy who lives on our street who identifies himself as Romany gypsy. And he’s an okay guy, I’m never gonna go drinking with him but he’s an alright guy. But he’s the one who always has the loud music in the street, every street has one person that does that right? He’s the guy who always has the revving cars outside, he’s the guy whose dogs are always barking et cetera et cetera et cetera.
Anyway I got talking to him one day and it was the first conversation I’ve ever had with him and I didn’t know or care about his ethnicity. And he says to me all people around here don’t like me because I’m Romany gypsy. Everyone’s always complaining about me.
I says Look mate we’ve only just met, and I would never have guessed what your ethnicity was nor would it have been a factor but you are the one telling me in the first few minutes of us talking., I said I’m saying this to you as a new friend and as a peaceful guy but you kind of perpetuating the stereotype of what people think about your people.
So he looked at me and said so what do you mean by that. And I thought I was going to get chinned at this point. So I said mate have you not thought that your ethnicity may not be a factor in this, but you’re the guy with the loud music, you’re the guy with the barking dogs. You’re the guy with the revving cars. This is a peaceful street with many old people et cetera but you’re the guy doing that, so people don’t care about your ethnicity. You’re the one telling them that you’re identify as Romany gypsy, and in the same time you doing all the things that are gonna bring you attention. Maybe calm down a bit.
Maybe start doing some favours for the neighbours et cetera.
So I figured I was either going to get a slap or he was going to listen.
So he did he started calming down. He hadn’t thought of it like that. He thought that the world was against him so that he would do what the fuck he wanted because it didn’t make any difference people are gonna hate him anyway, cos he’s a gypsy. But he changed his ways and calmed down a bit and he’s right as rain now.
He’s thought of highly by the old dears in the street
Interesting point!
Lol and the travelers call us racist!!!!
aggressive women are the worst...
Ive dj’d in those arches. Is there a club called volts?
The Volks down the far end. It was named after the Volks railway that used to run along the front..
Are travellers more likely than other types of folks to magically wind up in trouble?
Absolutely more likely to get in trouble
I would say there are some cultural reasons why they might. Fighting and "knocking" (scamming gorgies) are both quite acceptable practices among many travellers. This increases the chance of problems.
@@thatgearguyagreed. Also dog fighting and breeding.
Knowing they screw their own, and a given they are expected to do so to others tells me all I need to know. How do you judge a man? Find out who his friends are and how he spends his money. ;)
😊 👍
What exactly are "travelers"?
Gypsies. Usually Irish accents. You have seen the film snatch?
@thatgearguy Ohhhh, got it. Yes, I've seen Snatch. Great movie and that would be an unsavory crowd. Hey, btw, I just came across your channel and there's a lot of wisdom in your stories. Keep up the good work!
Jesus Christ for 5 minutes straight I was thinking you were talking about people who come from abroad.... 🙄
The least you could've done was put it in “irony quotes”
Id be interested to hear if you had any dealings with the Russians over here......ive been to Mosco a few times ....interesting people
We did once.. Might be worth a story!
Tried commenting ref my experience as a dog handler , removed ???
Not by me but I do have moderate filters set. Maybe they picked it up for some reason?
@thatgearguy nah I reckon it's all the watch lists I'm on . I only said I've had my fair share of T's to deal with, and I could keep a crowd/group of 30 or 40 back with one good dog that ten good men couldn't .
Evil and sadistic bikers sound nice compared to those people.
What are these travellers?
Irish Gypsies, nomadic predominantly they travel around and a large proportion of these are involved in criminality,think outlaw motorcycle gang who like marrying there cousins,big case in Ireland this week Google Thomas Dooley murder it's like game of thrones without the dragons.
Folk with no fixed address normally. They come from generations of Roma or Irish. They are a minority race/culture.
@@greyfox3303 i just did a quick read on that.
How did the fight with the first group of travellers end? What did the police do afterwards?
Interesting that the travellers treated you with a sweeping generalisation as you did with the Somali gangs on the beach and you didn't like it. "All groups of people have good, bad and those in the middle" (previous video) unless you are Somalian on a Brighton beach? Then you can form an opinion on a national issue based on regional problems?
Good to see you are doing well with these videos.
If you were Somalian and in one of the gangs roving the beach in darkness you were not good.. Plenty of Somalians that weren't doing that I am sure but they did not really populate the club scene. The fight ended with the travellers moving back into town followed by the Police with camera. We heard nothing more about it regards Police.
Some groups are better, some worse on average.
Pardon my ignorance, but Is travellers a euphemism for migrants? Or is it normal for travellers to haunt the same neighborhood for weeks at a time?
Travellers is a term for Irish or Romany folk who have lived on the road in caravans. Some may have settled to houses. Think the film "snatch".
