They may be all of the things that you say they are, but common experience of them, is that where ever they have been they leave a terrible mess behind them(that we the borough tax payers have to fund).......they let their dogs run free, and their teenage children(or certainly those I have been unfortunate enough to come into contact with) are foul mouthed and intimidatory.
They come into your backyard and steal anything that is not tied down.......and they aren't real gypsies, they are tinkers.
I know all that I have said is not PC, but it is time people started telling it like it really is, instead of looking at them through rose tinted glasses.
Just my opinion.
