WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE MEDIA ATTENTION GIVEN TO TRAVELLERS?
I think its ridiculous that all Travellers are getting painted with one brush, not all Travellers are criminals the same way not all settled people are but the difference is when it's a settled person there names are given when its Travellers they portray them as all Travellers.
It's giving people a very bad image of Travellers because when Travellers want to look for jobs or anything else they don't get them because people have negative image in there heads of Travellers on the newspaper and on big fat gypsy wedding.
I don't think it is fair that Travellers go on these shows and give the message that this is what all Travellers are like and this is how we they all live, when its not...When Travellers go on the show it should be made clear that this is how they like there dresses ant this is how they like living but Travellers are different and like to keep things a lot simpler.
Its not an accurate picture they know months before they go on BFGW that they are on it so they go all out just to try and look real good but instead its backfiring and its making a holy show of the Travellers and you definitely wouldn't be spending 6/7 and 8 year old girls on to a wedding half naked it's a load of rubish if you ask me.
Its embarrassing other Travellers who know its a load of lies and that its making a show of them. its also making discrimination worse instead of better. DO YOU AGREE????
