the countries obsession with grief is seriously back firing here. People need to cop on.

Shhh. The death notices are on.

[tazdedub]

Fuck the sulky racing. Rambo 2 is on.

[tazdedub]

We might see glas on this sulky races programme.

Proper stables for young lads that are genuinely interested in horses would be a great thing for them.

A purpose in life goes a long way.

The love of horses goes back years and is genuine 99 percent of the time.

And dags, knackers love dags.

This sport already exists. Anyone who lives in leafy Fingal will know of the Trotting racetrack in Portmarnock and others around the country. Is this not the same as sulky racing?

It exists and it’s actually fairly popular in Australia.

Ever been?

[tazdedub]

Yeah I went a few times when I was younger. Haven’t been in years, drove past the track a few times.

I dont understand why the traveller community are not entering in these races. I suppose the only thing is that in the races the sulkys are not followed by a convoy of cars with lads hanging out the windows and stuff.

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

They have similar racing in the states as well in proper race tracks. Its almost a mix of sulky and chariot racing

[Smark]

Yeah they should be racing on the trotting tracks but sure that would take away from their “tradition” then wouldn’t it of driving in convoys down the motorway behind the horses with passengers hanging out of every window.

Those sulky horses must be drugged up to their eye balls by the way with the money they are betting in. Can’t imagine there is much regulation or drug testing.

Ya, all their grandfathers and great grandfathers only trotted on the motorways.
It’s their tradition.

Interesting article. A little bulky so I skimmed over it, though that seems to be more effort than the majority of the respondents here have done.

Interesting in how embarrassingly backward the HRC’s point of argument is. A more accurate and fitting name for the HRC would be the Commission for Certain Human’s Rights as Opposed to Certain Other Human’s Rights, though the acronym would be a mouthful.

Any one group, be they self-defined as a certain ethnicity/race, religion, nationality, culture or etc, who identifies itself by highlighting menial differences with other humans (ie, those who they do not permit as being within their self-defined description of the group), only provide fodder for their corresponding hateful/discriminative ideas (racism, sectarianism, nationalism etc) to chew upon. Pride of one’s religion (or more realistically, the inherited parents’ religion), skin color, established living customs, birthplace, or any other idealistic trait a person clings to despite their only contribution in qualifying is being born, is an idiotic notion. Equally and identically as idiotic as the hate that feeds on it. They deserve each other.

A statement in summation: “To rid our world of this discrimination, we must first starve it from that which it feeds”, thoughts?

Meas.

Thoughts?

[carryharry]

Where have these Trav’s being staying since the tragic fire?

[balbec]

And Sweden

[TheUlteriorMotive]

Still a heavy police presence stationed 24 hours outside the location of the fire

Is that normal or does it suggest suspected criminal involvement ?

[tazdedub]

Probably to make sure they are not robbed.
