Sigh...
She's missing the point entirely there. There are different, very distinct groups that fall under the GRT umbrella. New Age Travellers and the "hippies of the 60s"
are not included in that, as they are people that have simply chosen to adopt a nomadic lifestyle, nothing more. It has everything to do with race and ethnicity, you can't just adopt a nomadic lifestyle and then declare yourself to be a Gypsy or Traveller. The caravan maketh not the Gypsy
. I note at the end there she won't identify beyond traveller (small t) which seems to suggest that she is just someone that has opted to live 'roadside', someone that travels, rather than her being under the GRT umbrella. It shows.
Just ETA - IF that is the case with her then this is where she's very problematic. She's adopting a GRT Identity when she isn't, and her behaviour and aggressive manner does not do us any bloody favours at all! Go away 'Roadside' Mum!!
