Campaigners compare recent ban from Pontin’s with ‘Me Too’ moment for the community
Irish Travellers have described being banned from pubs, restaurants and holiday parks across the UK, as part of a devastating “campaign of discrimination” that is excluding them from public life.
The revelation this month by the i Paper that Pontins drew up a list of surnames designed to keep Irish Travellers out has been described as a “Me Too” moment by campaigners. They say it is just the tip of the iceberg of the racism faced by the community and expect more whistleblowers to come forward.
