Knackers are Irish travellers Not gypsies(romni people) although the two communities do mix and travel with eachother. Knackers are from indiginuious people of Ireland who have just choise to live a nomadic life style they are not all scumbags or drunks they are also sometimes refered to as Tinkers,gippos,creamers or as they call them selfs PAVEES or pavos

The average person in Ireland refers to them as knackers these days. They were previously known as tinkers.
They are inbred due to a mistrust of settled people.
They are always looking for a way to make easy money, the same as every other common thug.
In years past that would have meant stealing lead or tarp.
These days it usually means robbing the elderly or selling poor quality drugs.

Acronym for "Members of the Travelling Community" / "Members of the Traveller Community". A non-derogatory reference that's less of a mouthful than the "official" title.

Travellers; an Irish subgroup which has the sheer neck to try and designate itself as a "race". They are the Taliban of Ireland; nomadic, Catholic Fundamentalist Separatists who make a living running scams on "settled people", or normal Western-educated, mortgage-paying members of society, who the knackers call "hufferbuffers" or "buffers" i.e. meaning stupid and gullible, in the knacker language called Shelta. Shelta is a made up language designed to hide scamming plans from normal society and they do not teach it to anyone non-Traveller for obvious reasons.

Knackers like to designate themselves as a separate race in order to perpetrate a continuing scam on society. The designations of Travellers (knackers) as poor and underprivileged is a complete lie; they have money coming out their ears and they hide it from the authorities. The dirty caravan trailer they live in sporadically, is a means of hiding the five-bedroom house they have in the neighbouring county.

Knackers are a male-dominant society and they regularly beat women into submission. Knacker women rate a man's fitness by the man's ability to physically subdue them.

Knackers are ruthlessly hateful in their ideology and they are little Catholic clones of Fred Phelps. Testimony of severe beatings targeting the gay and lesbian community, the international community, and the protestant community are all accurate.
