People want to be free. FAT CHANCE TODAY, . It does,nt matter what colour , what religion, what you eat, TOLERANCE is the key word. I live in a house and my neighbours are terrible, im in a good area but people are anti social. I,ve lived with travellers and there are differences of opinion , but the fellowship is second to none. It works. The establishment does,nt like anything that is innovated or alternative . GOD BE WITH THEM.
The UK boating community is 1 of the last almost free people, they are slowly clamping down them too but it's still there
i really enjoyed watching this film. i am a British traveller. i live in an old Dodge 100 truck , i15 years ago i choose to move out of the UK and find other places to live. i have meet a large group of people over the years living their way, doing their lifestyle.. its community and family. i move between France, Spain and Portugal. i am becoming integrated within the European Travelling scene and i like it a lot. i have work and i find the French travellers are looked after and respected more than when living in the uk. i will not be returning to the uk.
thank you to all the people who shared and showed a part of their lives.
it was upsetting to hear some people with their small minded attitude on travellers.. as if we are scum.. its a lifestyle, a way of life, a tribe of people..a community.. we should be respected just like anyone else.
at the moment i am living on a site in the French Alps, given to us by the local council. we have a water source, and toilets. there are about 15 vehicles, trucks, caravans. We support each other as a family unit. French, English, Chek mainly,,
i stay here in the summer months for work and then return to Spain and Portugal in the Winter months.
i would like to experience more of the Eastern European Countries..
i like to live a self sufficient, sustainable life, look after and live on a piece of this land around with love and respect.
rejoice with my friends and keep positive energy flowing.
P.S. I am a health, wellness and fitness coach, physiotherapist, mother of two. (both born at home).
I love the life that i live and create for myself and my children. they are our future generation.
living out of a system can be challenging at times.. but so can many other things ..
All the best with everything.
Ok bud what you doing for our country then in this Crisis? Or you just helping yourself to much needed assets and support? You and your kind are scroungers and liers and you like it!
I am not part of the UK anymore.
I live full time in France, I am registered self employed here. I have a social security number, and I have been paying tax into the French system since 2014.
Sean.. your answer is one of the reasons why I am no longer part of the UK. I moved on years ago. I work and live in community, helping others and keeping an open heart.
You can choose to do what you want with your life.
You are fortunate that you can.
P.s I am a Senior One Physiotherapist (worked in the NHS for 8 years), Bodyworker, Fitness Instructor, Yoga Teacher, Health and Wellness Coach..
@@nessprogress6485 well am glad your well. But again glad you have took your pseudo science and false preaching with you. Maybe we can go back to healthcare based in science and fact that acually works and personal care that is care. Thank you for leaving I only pray the rest of the damaging left wing agender would go with you.
Sean. I practise all that I have been taught and what I know through my wealth of knowledge and experience everywhere I go and with people who require my assistance. I find your comments repulsive, rude and aggressive.
I will no longer be a part of your conversation
@@nessprogress6485 through "Yoga" and other false science? Your intelligent enough to know its nonsense. Am sorry but the middle class need to get a grip and understand they could afford education. Am working my balls off on mininamem wage helping people. And the middle class false profits are simply miss leading people and stealing. At least the fascist were honest about controlling a murdering people.
Hardworking people just trying to get by in a world of crooks. May be judgemental but do you notice how ugly the police officers and council are? And though the traveller may not be the 'cleanest' or 'neatly dressed' they're full of life n bleddy good looking.The inside shows out
I remember that police attack on women and new born babies. May those officers answer on judgement day. It must of boosted their grossly oversized ego,s.
Just the middle classes waiting for daddy to snuff it when they can get his money.
And when anyone encroached on their property they called the police.
Annoying, no please let’s try to understand and then move on.!!☘️🧸🥰
@@greatest7391did they ?
@@quadrant2012 yep
The police and upper classes were already well on the way to bullying and stereotyping those that won't conform out of existence by this point, my parents lived on travellers sites up until the early 80's, I tried doing it in the early 2000's but you spend most of your time in conflict with police and everyone is paranoid and sketchy as fuck, I cycled to Switzerland a couple of years ago and met a fair few travellers and you could tell they weren't as hated and bullied, they were all much more relaxed and you could tell they weren't all burnt out and exhausted as many people trying to live a similar life in the UK are.
I can remember trying to get a place on one of the leominster sites back in the early nineties but they had a list of rules a mile long and wernt the most welcoming of people a group of us used to do quite well by moving onto the carparks and grounds of recently closed country pubs as around this time lots of them were closing and most times the police would put it to the owners to apply for eviction order and we came across a few owners who if you left the building alone would leave you there until they got planning to do something with it good times
I am a new age traveller currently living in the uk. I have lived on the road until this winter when i moved on to a farm where i work. Thank u for ur comments i enjoyed reading them. Peace
I toured the festies the whole year of 91 attending festies like ~
Twisted tree.. Wish you were here.. Torpedo town.. White goddess.. Happy daze.. Buff.. Village idiots.. Rutland free.. Cisbury ring free.. Silver moon.. Green man etc etc.. I then skirted in and out of the lifestyle until 94 when I ended up back in house. It was a special time for me, very romanticised in my head.. But thb contradiction within and also the hassle it became pushed me out.. If the criminal justice bs hadn't come into force in 94 I would more likely still be living that life.. A capitalist goverment could not let this continue, the numbers who were coming to the lifestyle were astronomical.. The goverment would not stand by and watch their youth meat drones leave the workforce which at that time was lacking anyway giving rise to many hoping on the band wagon of life on the road.. If I could go back and change things for myself, I'd have stuck it out and stayed with the life.. Its complicated the reasons additional to those I mentioned.. A movement in history that doubtful will ever occur again in this country.
i was at happy daz/ torpedo town/rutland/ earth spirit and sht load i can't remember/ they were some great days living in various buses /yeah the government cracked down /i remember it came in force that no more than 3 vehicles at a time could not convoy//they got us every which way but loose/ it was a time of us being young just wanted out of the system which kills your spirit and crushes your soul// due to death/ old age and health i am now stuck in the place i never wanted to be.// good on you that got and stayed out/love to you all xxx rachel from south london RIP fat freddy akka micky from Catford ps he was a good man sadly missed every day xx
You can find the new kind of traveler right here on RUclips. It's estimated that as many as 3 million people in the US now live on the road. Their home is literally on their back. There are really some inventive ideas on how to live/travel now. Most people live in standard RV's and motor homes. And these people stay in one place until they get tired of it and then move on. You can rent spaces in mobile parks and such. They are a new breed, once again.
We used to call these folk “Crusties”, fondly. They would always have a dog 🐕 on a string, and a can of special brew.
We use to and still do call your type twats.
I Remember Tadmarton free parties! Driving around, listening for the bass and heading in that direction, we did not need maps, we just used intuition!! Always found the party!!!
Reminds me, I was on the train and a guy with a bike was studying the A to Z London map... using his brain.... Now we use gogle maps and don't even think.... 4th industrial revolution... bad for our brains
30:40ish that was brutal..all Frenchman will crack given a promise of better quality coffee after a week of instant..
Good lord .... the idea that the authorities in fort William at the times main concern was that these travellers would be landing in the town , supplying the local youth with drugs is just hilarious 😂. There is either a severe amount of delusion on the authorities part going on there or they are trying their hand at humour but let’s be honest here it seems to be that more the case that the fort William authorities are exploiting the situation in their home town and are making scapegoats out of the travellers for the drug problem that was more than prevalent there ...... the idea that new age travellers go to fort William to supply the youth and locals with drugs and moral corruption, possibly even inspire them to not wash is just too much to take . I mean really ?!? He sounds childish and terribly informed by the local media at the time . Fort William has had a drug problem there looooong before the arrival of these New Age travellers . What on earth did they buy from the travellers at the time ? magic mushrooms that already have been growing in abundance in the area for centuries ? home brew ? A pirate cassette of an Ozerik Tentacles gig ?😆...... if there was any king of drug deals going down back then I would think that it’s more than likely the travellers were scoring from the locals and it wasn’t mushrooms . Interesting documentary tho and of course there are always many sides to any given story especially this one . The film feels like it was really just beginning to warm up .
its true i tried to make up for it once driving all round somerset with a van load of potatoes looking for a site ..i thought i found one and walked across the mud flaps of wythecombe and give up and supped me guniess ..i think il try the local police data site for troublesome hippies to find my valhalla ... i love travelers ps ..i left the spuds in the van
Hhahahahahah ace ;)
They go to make money from Picking potatoes Winter in Hereford,it simple as that. I have no idea what happen after 1990 ppl just picked and worked hard for the farkers I wish you all the best
Really liked this documentary. I'm sure I know some of folk who were living in Scotland. Forgot their names but know the faces. If this film crew is still together you should think of coming to Scotland and make a film of Scotland's path to becoming an independent nation as this is about to happen soon.
Not in our lifetime
Has anyone tasted the hotdogs from lidl? They're ok.. You get 5 jumbo dogs in a jar for less than €2 . That can't be bad... also a lump of blue rope comes in handy for a multitude of uses.
Some old faces here. Was parked up with Bev for a while back in 93. Remember French Fred as well. Another matey called Ian Musk Rat with a dog called Shakker with a big bald arsehole 🤮. Shakker always used to bugger off. I used to wake up it my truck with Musk Rat screaming 'Shaaaaaakkeeeer' at the top of his voice in a strong West Country accent. There was Lee as well. Used to do the DJing at the parties. There was also some matey called Adrian in an old ambulance. People thought he was undercover. Could well have been. Who knows. Last time I saw Bev was when she turned up in the boozer I was running in Winchester in the late 90s.
Man I would love this life style
Smoke pot all day, mostly hash. Take LSD. Then xtc at the parties. Sell to the locals. Move on. Rinse and repeat.
@@ffggcvcfcgvcf492 Use other peoples properties as a toilet, no washing,
Christ the police were brutal
Yes to pedofiles drug pushers murderers and theives.
That clip with the police smashing the buses up etc was from The Battle Of The Beanfield in 1985. Yes they were brutal. Many of them were actually violent army thugs dressed in police uniform as instructed by Margaret Thatcher and her Tories in the UK government....The same thug cops were used a year earlier when they smashed open the skulls of innocent Miners during their strikes in 1984
@@Spirit-Of-The-Age i was at peace haven ?? in a tk bus watching outside my window a group of brutal paid thugs who were smashing up hawk wind Dave Brok bus and i was offered birthday cake while patrolling ny bus with my doberman BOD had to watch this Beautifull bus be carved up with chainsaws as our diesel had been syphoned out the previous few nights back/could not get out of there fast enough/// great days mixed in with nightmare situations.but our spirits were high and hearts were pure/ never again will we see the likes of people and buses that made those days magical, surrounded by the evil gnomes i called the Babylon barbarians// Thatcher's government were brutal towards us at times//x2022 wish i could live like that again i was so much happier but now my knees could not keep up with getting the firewood fk old age x 2022 love to all who made thoses times rock fk we had the best of times miss it badly xxx
@@racheldoesacrylic4089 absolutely...different times (pre mobile phones and PC's etc🙂) .....I myself went to an off grid community and that ended up becoming a bit of a safe haven for a good while to many on buses etc too, who'd been targeted by the UK gov thugs (met so many amazing and wholesome folk...and a few that were dodgy..but I reckon they were 'UK gov' undercover plants trying to stick a spanner in the works👀) ,........Many folk ended up escaping to Ireland, Portugal etc....The struggle goes on for me as I'm back in Scotland now fighting the UK system as a Scottish Independence activist but also involved in positive eco activism too (as both fights go hand in hand) ..Scottish Indy should finally be happening soon , and it will not only help free Scotland of the corrupt UK system / establishment, it'll also act as a badly needed catalyst for complete political reform in England and Wales too......So the battle continues on (a bit like the Led Zep song The Battle Of Evermore🙏💪🌎🍀🌱🌲) ...I do believe we are on the verge of a positive revolution and we are now seeing that corrupt UK system / establishment (which has always been run by a psychopathic, selfish ruling class) on it's last legs and death throes) ..the whole Peace Convoy movement and free festival scene may have not fully lasted forever back then , but it was hugey important to and sowed many seeds that are coming to bear fruit now .😎🌳🌱🌎 Community is returning and the green technology is here to help people live a more egalitarian life, and one whereby we can source the things we need more locally without wrecking Mother Nature in the process. We can all learn a lot from Nordic countries (Iceland have done amazing things since the World Banking Robbery of 2008 onwards as have other Nordic countries with progressive and sustainable policies and enpowering local councils / communities as much as possible etc..and we can all keep learning too from indigenous peoples' too.🍀💚💙✌✊🙏😎
@@Spirit-Of-The-Age good luck/ led zep priceless and dont let the basds get you down hahahahah xx god bless xxx
I want to know what they are doing now !
Yeah me too.
15.30 the guy venting his anger at the travelers by smashing golf balls away makes a very good point! If they find a place to stay they will just stay there, so they`re not really travelers but van dwellers. They prefer the van life over a house but are still looking for that perfect location they can call home.
RIP Cris gone but not forgotton .
Anyone know the girl at 30.10 i think i recognise her i think her name is Bev I'd like to know if she's ok thanks.
All I Can Say Is A.C.A.B
The good old days i hope evetyone is well
Cops are fucking cowardly terrorists. Death's too good for them.
Ha ha! I love the opening statement "Most of US, are Just People"???!!! Perhaps that's the way... Let's be something else...!!

Great film, great conclusion, sad 25 years later we are still on the same curve with society...does anyone know what this film maker has been up to?
Brew Crew 🍻
Brew crew was fuckin shit. Sorry
strangely not a picture of a NAT on the cover of this video
great documentary.
Oh I forgot, I wonder if they listen to good music.?!!!!!
I miss being called a crusty 😎
love the travelers ..i fucked up once ..i should have taken their invite ..just before the beanfield ..biggest let down ive ever done
same here
I did the festies from 91-92,travelling back n forth from bedsit to festies ...was going to get van of own and do properly but other stuff happened and 23-26 yrs later half my life gone..tho still live the lifestyle without the partys,festivals and like...but still going at other alt lifestyle.
I do hope Edward came to terms with his heroin addiction, it's hard to film and take heroin at the same time. Also, he still owes me twenty two pounds.
Do u know these peeps as i think i recognise the girl at 30.10 her names bev I'd like to know if she's ok thanks.
Middle Class kids mostly, knew they had mommy daddy to fall back on in the future
That a bit stereotype but you are probably correct about some of them.
Untrue DID YOU KNOW NY OF THESE PEOPLE?? I did
Just like Hippies and Punks, they can afford to shock or drop out, it's a typical dynamic, while the working class are always desperate to show they own something the middle class are always desperate to show they own nothing
@@npc3po301 very true
Yeah - there were plenty of rich kids and young people from middle class and upper middle class backgrounds plenty of graduates, kind of playing at being oppressed. Alongside the older traveller festival tyoes who’d been doing it from the free festivals of the 70s. This was mixed with the real marginalised people rejected by neoliberal society, ex-cons, ex squaddies, people unable to find work, people on the run from the law, those struggling with severe mental illness and with drug and alcohol problems as well as those fleeing personal problems and disappearing into drugs and alcohol - and the committed hedonists who just wanted to be off their heads 24/7. It was kind of an odd mix - usually all got on and sometimes not, the ‘brew crew’ always raised tensions.
Upper Crusties
I lived with the Scottish lot for a couple of summers in the mid ‘90s. I remember Paul, Gary, harpo, tartan Heather, Julie.. and a host of others whose names I forget! The second summer I lived on ‘the point’ as it’s referred to in the film. The film crew could have had a much easier time accessing it by a forestry commission track, as long as they didn’t mind climbing down 10 feet of cliff at the end 😆
I looked on Google maps and was pleased to see a truck still just visible behind the trees at one of the old park ups.. so I won’t mention the location.. absolute best of luck to them 👍🙂
The Tartan Heather is still kicking it ! 😊
Away from Babylon
Yes
the director really reminds me of Ed Chickentits/Shouty Ed

traveller girl at 13 24 very funny and drop dead gorgeous
She used to squat in one of our places back in the late 80s early 90s
WAS... long time ago!
total repression from government ..
It's an excellent documentary ✊🏿
HALF A MIX........
Machines did away with the fruit and hop picking etc and cheap foreign labour now post brexit they cant get enough of the foreign labour anymore lots of travellers were very hard working
Track at 26:30, please?
They were a great gang of geezers and gals
Rebelling against the council house they currently reside in.
It’s muddy and ugly. And I bet they have the same hassles , in a way, in the corporate world. Cheating, lies, selfish people, but I don’t have a solution. Go to a better climate.
Special Brew
Nowadays this is classed as VANLIFE. Not as frowned upon and more accepted as the cool thing to do. What has changed really? Some Vanlifers having either sold up their properties and live from the money of that and some just seem to be young and privileged. A small percentage that make a living via RUclips and perhaps some who find work on their travels.
I think i know what u mean...i am a traveller....i live in a ford transit smiley horsebox it has mold and gaps where wind blows through...i used to cover the matress with a tarp because when i got back from work the condensation would soak the bed through lol....then i got a burner so there were less drips...anyway as i was saying ive met other people who have vans and go away for a few days or weeks maybe even a month at a time in them...new shiny expensive they have second homes they rent out sorry i got bored towards the end of writing this basically van lifers are different from us travellers....enjoy
8:30 You know. You know. You know. You know. No. No I don’t know…
My issue is that they have no real philosophy to an alternative lifestyle. '' we wanna libe man'' and ''we wanna be free man'' are signs of not fitting into the system but what's a realistic solution?
and if anyone remembers i was the happy camper who had been joy rided driven through town who was flippin glad to come spewing outta that car by the stoned couple ... baptism of fire and iam a water sign ..
Could they be anti social?
They guy playing golf had a good swing😂
Some faces I recognise here...

Very cool.
35:35 "We are deserving people like". Wtf they chose to live like that he is perfectly fit and healthy and all he wants is money for him self. He needs to get a job and help out. Just proves they are scroungers.
Sean Doherty they getting thousands to make the film, they asking for a bit in return for being the subject matter.

No good documentary - didn’t really learn anything
it's people's lives, they don't owe you anything. the documentary format isn't just about creating explicit educational source material. if you can't muster up some empathy that's your issue
If you didn't learn anything then the failure is within you, not this documentary.
