They take away our sites & sell the land. They close down our stopping places & won't allow us to build our own sites. They won't help us & tell us to help our selves, but then do everything they can to stop us. We have nowhere to go. No place to stay. What are we meant to do?

When the time comes for the world to accept what they have allowed to happen, a modern and unchallenged genocide, their false tears, and empty apologies will be pointless. Too late. When is a genocide ever justified? When is the slaughter of children acceptable? #Genocide

People who have never been abused using a certain derogatory word do not have the right to tell others who have been abused if that word is insulting or not. Your privilege does not allow you to dictate hate words to others. Listen and understand before passing judgement.

"Travellers don't value education" Yet here I am stressed out cause my child is Traveller and Autistic started 5th class and I am worried about his second level place! He deserves an education on so many levels.

In a world of ever changing attitudes and acceptance, Travellers and Romany are still in the same place as we were 500 years ago. Hated for being who we are. Rejected for being what others deem different. Attacked by laws and people in power. Pushed to the periphery of society.

We live in a world where lives are valued by their geographical location and social standing. Innocents are slaughtered and displaced. Homes are destroyed and lands stolen. Families are separated and starved. The world is watching and the tears of those affected are ignored.

Yesterday it was confirmed an Israeli F-35 fighter jet – made in part in Britain – was instrumental in a recent attack on a "safe zone" in Gaza, killing 90 people. Hours later the UK government refused to suspend licences pertaining to F-35s. ALL arms sales to Israel must end.

Justice for Grenfell. 72 people lost their lives in this preventable tragedy. Victims of corporate greed and institutional neglect.

While the world turns a blind eye, a genocide is happening. A people are being slaughtered and wiped out under the pretence of self-defense. How is slaughtering families, blowing up schools and hospitals and stopping aid classed as self defense? We are led by blind leaders.

Do you know what the media doesn't show? The truth. The kind things Travellers do. The yearly fundraisers and charity runs. The weekly food banks donations. The helping people in need. Helping struggling people pay for funerals. Toys for kids at Christmas. The news isn't news
