This is the Australian model, and I like it. Work hard, get money, and get increased social status. People pat you on the back, say well done and try to emulate.

Better than the UK class system which allows little social mobility depending on how you sound when you speak! And success is met with jealousy.

This deserves a seperate thread.

Hijacking threads in endemic in CUK. Why change now?

Next you will want a poll without an AndyW option!

Class has never and will never be defined by money. You utter, utter peasant!

Drive through Knightsbridge any day of the week and marvel at the vulgarity of gold Lamborghinis, pink Ferraris etc. It proves that all the money in the world can not buy class.

They may be rich, but they are peasants.

Live and let live.

These days class is determined by how much money you have. So these travellers are definitely upper class. Arise Sir Gypsy?

Back in history the gypsies did the temporary and seasonal jobs, fruit picking etc, that are now done by immigrants. They were manual worker versions of contractors basically! Pity we can't go back to that time where they performed a useful role. I quite fancy being a gypsy. Got an old sleeping bag in me van.

They use the law when it suits them and ignore it when it does not.

They are scum and need to be treated as such - that simple for me.

RACIST!

[original PM]

Kind of takes the urine them claiming to be travelers, persecuted but " 'tis d gypsy way of life" etc. but with all that cash.

And to think they're exempt from Council Tax, Water Rates, basically any tax to support a civilized society.

Wonder if they'll have their transits/caravans/barbecues/tacky garden sculptures confiscated under the Proceeds of Crime act?

Or sold a bit of smack/crack and blow.

Don't think roads and driveways are the main source of income these days.

They must have laid a lot of tarmac to get that!
