LeicsGATE

We have been contacted by several of our community members voicing concerns at the solitary link between our Walker Horse fair in Mountsorrel and ASB raised by @JeevunSandher, MP for L’boro. To use the GRT communities to highlight ASB is blatant discrimination and feeds fear

@TravellerRacism @GypsyTravellerM @GypsyTravellers @LeedsGATE @GT_Wales @LondonGypsyTrav hi all. Have any of you had recent experience of challenging supermarkets re always stopping and following G&T customers - any advise that you’d give

It's shocking that this Irish Traveller family could go to prison for living on their own land, and we fully support @publiclawcentre's actions. We urge @Brentwood_BC to withdraw the women from their injunction, so 11 children can stay with their mums. pilc.org.uk/news/mums-coul…

So very very proud of our communities, they turned up and donated over £500 (and that’s not including the online donations) to help a little girl - florentina - access live saving treatment pity we never see these headlines #GRT

@GypsyTravellerM @MJGTraveller @NeilDotObrien @GypsyTravellers Thank you for your support. What @NeilDotObrien seems to have forgotten is that Market Harborough - one of his areas, has a fairly large GRT community which we have supported to register to vote!!!

@MJGTraveller @NeilDotObrien @GypsyTravellers Calling on all our followers to call this out. @NeilDotObrien would you call for a ban on the local Hindu festival, the local end of Ramadam celebrations, not a hope and rightly so. Your local constituents don't support this. @LeicsG ##operationtravellervote

Saw that @NeilDotObrien has created a petition to ban a Light and Light festival this year citing that shops were forcibly closed. His constituents quickly proved him to be lying. Can this be reported @GypsyTravellers @GypsyTravellerM? Link below: facebook.com/neil4harboroug…

It sadly never shocks us That a person PAID to represent all still feels that they can make these comments @NeilDotObrien I suggest to read the responses made by YOUR constituents on this post. facebook.com/share/ZvwAui9F…

Question Does anyone have access 2 resource packs/books/pictures etc that can be used with GRT children in care so they stay in touch with their culture/backgrounds? @GypsyTravellers @TravellersTimes @LeedsGATE @GypsyTravellerM @TravellingAhead @SanctuaryPlaces @APPGGTR @trvisXX

1/2 Looking for advice/info does anyone know of a DA project/refuge that has managed to SUCCESSFULLY provide appropriate accommodation for GRT women fleeing abuse - either here or in Ireland? I know some have in the past but that may not have worked long term
