Very hard to do.
The prejudice stems from the fact that these travellers steal anything that isn't nailed down(they were cruising down the back alleys in our area last week looking over backyard walls to see if there was anything they could purloin).
They do not pay anything into the community pot, this despite the fact that they never seem to be short of money when they go into local shops for the beer and fags(pulling out wads of notes that would choke a donkey).......the children are feral.
They leave piles of disgusting rubbish when they do vacate a site they have used(often with dirty nappies and such like filth, as well as food waste...encouraging rats of the four legged variety).
This isn't prejudice, it is personal experience.

All these examples I have given, I have seen with my own eyes......now do you want them parked in your area...perhaps you have an area of garden that you could allow them to camp on.
