How do you know what they were doing? They threw a fucking bottle at a car and made a road block. Put it this way, if a women and two kids were coming over the bridge from the other direction on a crest it would be a different story, not sure if thats some kids looking for a laugh or not.

Hitler had it slightly wrong,he persecuted Romany Gypsies who lived off the land and lead a quiet existence,he should have persecuted Transit driving,caravan towing Irish pikies who steal off the land and live a scum filled existence.

Dan,

This is really sh*t mate, Absolute pond life. Not worth pursuing as they will all either deny all knowledge aor come after the car at a later date.

Tiptree is full of the swines, I keep my head down and seem to get away with it. I'd suggest you do the same buddy.

Sound advice, best summed up with a quote from the film Snatch.

Every action gas a reaction. And a Pikey reaction, is quite a f*cking thing.

Excuse me but where are the moderators on this?

Go back through the posts and substitute "Pakie" or "Nigger" for "Gypo" or "Pikie". It would be quite rightly thrown out in a second. I don't see the difference between abusing one ethnic group but allowing statements like "Hitler had it right" and "the only good Gypo is a dead gypo" for another.

What the travellers did was clearly wrong (assuming it was them) and it is annoying that it is often difficult to prosicute travellers. However I was once mugged by a load of black kids. Does that mean my mates and I can discuss different forms of violence against the entire community? If I was to report it to you lot would you take it in turns to outdo each other with posturing and suggestions you'd clearly never have the bottle to follow-up?

This is an excellent forum and I'm constantly explaining to non-car friends how it doesn't conform to their beliefe that car people are ignorant holigans. Sadly the correspondants and the mods have really let them selves down here.

since when did pikies become an ethnic group you clown. pikies are a group of parasites who have chosen the way they live who dont contribute to society and live of others and often at the expense of others. do other ethnic groups such as "pakies" or "niggers" as you have said chose to be that way? no so dont try and cause problems where there are none. you sound like the sort of pc person that is dragging our country down the drain :x

Hell of a difference between travellers and Pikeys.

All pikeys are tax dodging thieves, it's why they're here. Pikey is a colloquial term for theiving gypsies. It's not calling the whole travelling community thieves. Pikeys steal, defraud and scam normal people, they do not pay any form of tax or national insurance yet expect gratis services from the local councils they burden. In fact they are Irish people. They are here to avoid paying an Irish tax, IIRC similar to council tax, by being out of the country for x months. You need to distinguish between social groups before calling us all racists.

Pikey is not an ethnic title. So the use of terms to identify Asiatic and Asian people and people of African origin is ill founded and an un-necessarily gratuitous sensationalism of your post, plus has nil relevance.

Romany gypsies are a completely different entity, the Hitler reference regarding this people was tedious at best and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

What the trav.. Pikey scum did was wrong, it's not an assumption that it was them. Unfortunately, our councils and government are tree hugging liberals who like to pat them selves on the back by helping these people. What they are doing is help these people help themselves. Why should my council tax pay for some Pikey kid to go to a school in my District, why should my council tax pay for some Pikey thief who hurt himself robbing a self employed mans livelihood from his van?

Enoch Powell was right, these people should be deported before the completely cripple this country.

Before posting such liberal durge again, please be sure of what you are saying. Seems too many people are being sucked in by these left wing idiots.

I am absolutely sure of what i am saying. The actions of some members of a group do not allow the condemnation (and the violence many people here seem to fantasise about) of every member of that group. Should people burn the houses of BMW owners because many BMWs are driven dangerously and aggressively?

i belive there is a difference between a nigger and a black person, same sort of thing and difference between a pikie and a traveler.

but in terms of being politicaly correct, maybe pikie should have been used, gypo scum would suffice ?

Political Correctness is just an acceptable way of calling a pot, a pot.

A traveller is worlds apart from a pikey. Travellers are tree hugging types who travel the country saving whales and freeing trapped butterlies, occasionally indulging in mind altering substances. I'm sure they hide in Glastonbury during the cold season!

Pikies are thieving scum. It's a word to describe thieving scum.

No need for the mods to step in. People are welcome to vent anger at this underclass.

[quote]mineral blue what a ludicrous post! I cannot believe that link, its exactly the sort of thing that needs to be changed[quote]

Merely putting a link up that relates to a local incident is ludicrous?

And what needs to be changed exactly?

political correctness is a way of beating around the bush. avoiding the obvious if you like.
the pot knows he's a pot. we all know he's a pot but you cant call him a pot for fear of offending the pot. the problem is not really the pot feeling offended but the pc brigade making a problem where none existed and being offended on said pots behalf to justify themselves and their whole new self indulging industry.

Completely agree. No need to get involved.

If this was a racial discussion we would intervene, But it's not.

It is about a group of individuals that spend their live being deceitful and going out of there way to gain from others graft. No need to defend them, That's what they pay their taxes for the police to do..... Oh no... Hang on :?

Here's an interesting thing to read,Viz comic got in bother some years ago for this story,"Thieving Gypsy Bastards".



In 1990, the comic fell foul of the United Nations, after running a strip called The Thieving Gypsy Bastards. (...) Viz didn't realise that since gypsies are classified as a race, a fictitious strip about imaginary gypsies might be misconstrued as racism. They got complaints from forty gypsies, one of whom referred the matter to the UN. However, by now the tabloids were finding it impossible to hide how much they really enjoyed the comic, and one of them came to their aid. "The Sun found out that the gypsy who was pursuing us was up in court on a charge of handling stolen goods," reveals (editor) Chris (Donald). "They just waited until he was convicted then ran a big story and we were vindicated." Impartial as ever Viz also did a strip called The Nice Honest Gypsies, just to be fair.

Makes me chuckle any how!

I am sure everybody would agree that there are gypsies who are honest law abiding citizens e.g old romany types that have carried on the same way of life for generations.

BUT we also all agree that lots of the travellers/pikeys are a total nightmare. I once had to run for my life when one of them thought I worked in a garage and got cross when I wouldn't steal something for him! :-x

I've seen them smash up a pub in Holloway, a church in Basildon and Cambridge town centre. :eek:

What is worse is when people call ME a pikey because I'm from Essex! Now that's racism! :x

Yep, met a few of them in my time, one of them stole my granddad's flashlight which I was very fond of.

People will always be wary of whoever has screwed them previously. It's hard to be impartial if you've seen this happen more than once.

I must admit the 'old romany types' do seem to be in a small minority.

In fact I have only met one. And he lived in a house but still saw himself as a romany gypsy. :roll:

As does Freddy Eastwood to ex Southend Utd striker.
