From the underside of society

This is Richard O'Brien: he's an Irish traveller, and he has a blog: the underside of society about the injustice – ongoing injustice – suffered by Irish travellers in Ireland, which is even worse than the way they are treated in the UK. That's shocking.

Travellers and Gypsies are one of the last groups that supposedly socially liberal people and their supposedly socially liberal governments treat as if they were dirt.  It's not just the tories (though it is the tories), it's not just 'other people': it's you, it's me.  And we need to stop doing it: GRT people are people: treat them like people.

Read his blog.  Write to your MP:  Do something.
