I couldn't agree more❤ He's an amazing kid.

waaaaa

Thank you for being kind to him.

Is he a pilot now? :3

We had a few who stayed until gcses were finished only a handfull of nullying incidents until they called there cousins down to the school gates.

My mam stayed in school till she was 16 got degrees in special needs care that was in the 60s-70s she worked with some special needs children when she was younger till she was run over at 17 and was crushed from waist down then she went on to have 5 children and she passed away in 2003

Now my children are all in school my 12 year old daughter wants to be a doctor you don't hear of many traveller doctors

I hope Ben, Anastasia or their Mum will pop on here and leave a msg as to how they are doing. This was filmed in 2016 so i'd love to know if he managed to get his licence as he will be 20 years old now. I see the flight school near Worksop has since closed but I hope he has done well. A man I used to babysit when he was little got his pilot's licence at Tollerton which is a different airfield. He was crazy about flying and then went on to get his commercial licence which saw him flying London to Edinburgh and reverse each day for a company called Flybe and hadn't been there long when they entered administration but thankfully he has managed to find work as an instructor.

Respect to Tony Giles at the end teaching his nephews John & Abraham that if it's not in a ring or cage there's no fighting.

where I live all the gypsies are liars and thieves unfortunately :( sad, cuz I think they have a pretty cool way of life, but so many of them ARE vile thieving a-holes :( we used to have to kick them out of my work cuz they'd find leftover drinks, pour them on the floor (creating a safety hazard) and then claim the dropped their drink and try to demand a free one, and come up to the counter saying they were waiting on loads of meals but we all knew none of them had ordered anything. we'd checked the tills anyway just to be sure and right enough, those orders didn't exist. it's a shame for the nice ones but you can't blame people for being skeptical when we have so many negative encounters

This is a real question from a naive American, idk much about gypsies in the UK. I think here in the USA though, Gypsy is a derogatory word. Anyway, my question is, do they pay to live on this land? I assume not. If no, couldn't they just go to a camp ground and pay there? I guess the only problem I have is some of the ones always getting evicted are parking illegally and tapping into electricity illegally, etc. Why do they think they can just stay if they don't pay? And again, that's my assumption from what I see here. Sorry if it sounds rude, I don't mean it to.

They're not gypsies. I haven't got a clue why they call themselves that. If you wanna see real gypsies, go to mainland Europe. You'll be surprised. 😂

⁠it is classed as trespassing and most of them have no jobs to pay for land so they would trespass, but I understand as they are human beings who some struggle financially and I feel bad for all the hate they get.

@@calliew311 they absolutely TRASH all these places as well causing problems for the local residents and leaving the council to pay for the cleanup, plus even evicting them costs money. tax payers are paying through the nose cuz of these people

Sadly this happens a lot in schools , not just for gypsies

I’m a gypsy and this happened to me when I was a kid

@@nervousnorvus1944 the kid getting bullied was the gypsy. He wasn't the aggressor.

@@MattK98 I'm sorry you had to deal with that. It's scary that ya'll aren't protected better.

​@@MattK98mate.... I'm tellin You this wouldn't go down with any other minority group, it's fkd! This is why us Aussies call them "poms" they look down on so many, we gotta love them as we derive from them ( we are the outcasts lol) I feel for Ya's heaps 😔 one of My favourite Fleetwood songs is gypsy 😊

yeh that's disgusting, he seems like a lovely boy

Same here, she stayed on a site + paid fees so was no worries re eviction. Loved my weekends in the caravan!!

​@@lolabelle4959 Such a wholesome comment 😊

@@lailaayan306 sorry do you not appreciate honestly my dear?

I think it's because they don't pay for where they live. And are getting electricity illegally. If they went to a camp ground they would be legal, I just don't know if they can afford it.

Is it illegal for them to move their campers into a campground? Those have showers, electricity, water, sometimes even cable.

I don't think that's just empty land. Someone or some govt owns it. Maybe some rich benefactor could buy them some land, but they need to do it the proper and legal way and they won't get kicked out. (Hopefully)

which community exactly are you not a fan of? Irish travellers? English travellers? Romani? Roma? New Age Gypsy? Show and fair grounder traveller? there's a lot of different ethnicities that get lumped together under "traveler" even though they have very different histories and origins

@@LexiLaughs All of them. I’m not from the UK, so I have not lived with any kind of travellers. But I’m very much familiar with Sinti and Roma, they’re hated for leaving behind nothing but destruction, rubbish and scammed people. But that doesn’t change the fact that someone from this community, who’s different, shouldn’t be treated differently. Now his classmates and 9 schools have pushed him back in the traveller life they’ve bullied him for in the first place, which is stupid. Wasn’t it in this episode where a father said he wants his daughters to be educated? I respect that.

@@nomadic_orthodox all of them is still very broad considering there are difference's. Roma generally refers to the European born and living outside uk and Romani are English although decent from the same original ethnic group, that was a very long time ago about a thousand years ago they left Indiana and are now quite different in many ways to Romani (or Romany) who mostly don't actually travel anymore so what are they "leaving behind"? and although I don't condone bad behaviour but they were kept as slaves for 500 years and tortured and killed in the hundreds of thousands they have a horrific history and to this day are still treated terribly prob would make you a little reluctant to give respect back maybe! so where are you from? might clarify which particular culture of Nomadic you are talking about

@@LexiLaughs I said I haven’t met them, not I don’t know their history. So long in our countries and still not integrated and segregate themselves from everyone else. I’m not a fan of people that destroy what others have created.

It’s got nothing to do with racism, they move into sites that they don’t own and then throw a hissy fit when they get evicted. It would happen to anyone else but they claim ‘racism’ bc they’re travellers/gypsies. I feel bad for the kids bc they don’t know what’s going on and are being told that they’re being sent off bc of their race but it’s actually bc they’re illegally on the land.

Those who are illegally parked on sites are not all victims. If they choose to live the lifestyle, how can they expect to live for free on someone else's land? Some of the trailers and homes are overly lavish and expensive. They could buy land... and not squat illegally.

If you look at the mess in the background of some odfthese videos they dont look after the places they transpass on either.

@@brettharter143people always forget to make the distinction between roma ‘gypsies’ and Irish travellers though. irish travellers are not historically part of the same lineage as roma people and roma people have strong values of cleanliness unlike the typical irish travellers.

Legal sites are kept clean in my experience, however there are very limited legal sites and there is often massive pushback from the people living in any area when a traveller site proposal is bought up. Keeping illegal sites like carparcks clean is impossible because obviously there aren't bins, toilets, running water or electricity .

​@annahalson5535 I half agree with you. I have visited traveller sites and found them to be as tidy- if not tidier than most streets. However, it's not " impossible" to keep a non legal site clean. They can dispose of waste at refuse centres, use camping loos etc it's just " hard" to keep clean and I think I would struggle to bother if I was in their position

So fascinating to me as an American. To me, they just are homeless families. Not sure why they are looked down upon

@christieconques1221 because they are not homeless families. They may not all live in houses but they all have HOMES. The reason they are hated like they are is because sometimes they will dump rubbish and defecate etc on the land they take over. They are often closed off from other parts of the community and feared, they can be quite intimidating en masse. Some people say they are thieves and dishonest. I have worked with travellers and looked after travellers and I have never found them as people to be any different to anyone else really, I suppose the most I would say is that they are " old fashioned " in some ways, they can be very homophonic, but again, not everyone. I think the only time I felt intimidated was when I went for a meal in a pub and the whole place was travellers watching the horse racing, there were about 50-60 of them, but I would have felt the same if it was 50-60 non traveller football fans

@@christieconques1221 they are also usually VERY well off btw

nope, I've dealt with the same issues done nothing and got surrounded and punched up by 5+ people each time I'm bullied in DIFFERENT schools... messed up world, gotta get through it some how, luckily I'm a dropout but a somewhat successful music artist.

They were tresspassing

They didn't own it.

they'd rather use private land and trash it

@@lailahepburnandmischka your probably right. That's why ppl don't want them on their land bc they don't keep the area they park in clean. Plus they use the bathroom outside and in the summer time that smell would be unbearable. It's crazy they have all those kids crammed into one little trailer that's no kind of life for children. To me they are very selfish for that.

@@violetv9037 "probably right" you say that to everyone that tells you "information" don't you, posh gits are the most selfish don't even start mate...

Look up the laws. I wanted to do same for my eldest son. Couldn't get permission to put a static on land even if we owned it.
