REGARDING the letter “No regard for others” (November 3). This letter was absurd — if travellers commit crimes, they are arrested, usually by police who turn up to travellers’ sites in their droves dressed in full riot gear.

Does the author of this letter also know that hardly any gypsy travellers sign on and take benefits?

Instead of writing such emotive and ill-founded rubbish, perhaps the writer should learn a little about gypsies and their culture before swamping The Bolton News with such rubbish.
