Absolutely unacceptable. We asked young Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people the same question and heard much more intelligent and compassionate responses. Check out our thread below ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://twitter.com/LauraPidcock/status/1291070376701841415
"If I were Prime Minister for a day, I would educate people to not see Travellers as different people but to see them as their friends." - Lyza, aged 12
"If I were Prime Minister for a day, I would build more site for us Travellers because loads of us are in the road." - Jane, aged 15
"If I were Prime Minister for a day, I would make the NHS better so that everyone gets the care they need." - Lavinia, aged 12
"If I were Prime Minister for a day, I would make our society an equal place and share out wealth to bring equality." - Denisa, aged 13
"If I was Prime Minister for a day I would let Travellers into pubs." - Chris, aged 15
"If I were Prime Minister for the day, I would let the girls wear bows in their hair and jewellery and boys wear riding boots. And if anyone called us pikeys they would be told to police and parents would be informed." - Lily May, aged 12
And finally, our favourite response (which is clearly much more intelligent and forward thinking than @Douglas4Moray's response), "I would change all bathrooms to steam rooms, put elevators in the home to go up to a family room with a jacuzzi." from the wonderful Maggie.
Your racism has no place in our society - the world is a much better place when we try to understand and respect one another.
