Jeez... Have none of you been to secondary school? Mine was ****ing brutal. Maybe I was unlucky but I remember secondary school was a terrifying place where bullies rule d the roost. A fight like this was commonplace... Only we didn't make everything about race... Because white kids were the minority.

How do we know though for sure ?..... obviously the media will assume it is as the headline always does that , but I think these kids are probably bullying everyone in their school. And people are saying this is 'common in schools' ....but how many jump 1 person with the mother cheering & egging them on .... Whilst it's being filmed??. Wasn't this after school aswell, imagine you're going home and you get jumped by a bunch of kids from your school .

I am not condoning it I just think from the footage I have sent that it is some sort of revenge attack rather than a race element, I mean they are travellers they suffer more racist abuse than most

Cherie it was confirmed that there was racism . Believe it or not minorities attack other minorities,this isn't exactly a new thing. Look at how racist china is towards black people.

I knew this would happen = "oh they're travellers so they suffer racist abuse " :bored: ( is that supposed to make it less awful? ) .... If anything that makes it worse !!! as they should know what it's like to be treated like that . funny thing is these same gypsies will probably cry when they get racist abuse ...yet they think it's ok to racially abuse others.

It's hypocrisy at it's best , why don't they learn to read and write instead of fighting... so many of these kids can't even spell yet they they can swear and be vile and attack other kids.

We can assume it's because the black girl was a bully, because one of the girls tells her this is for bullying (insert name) At nompomt did anyone use the N word or refer to her skin colour.

Ain't it a shame when a bully gets bullied..no, no it's not.

I said off camera ... racist stuff could have been said maybe even from both sides . And they knew they were being filmed anyway,so they're not going to blurt it out in the video itself.

If the police are saying it's 'racially aggravated' ,that tells me there's some form of evidence .

You are a living contradiction, going on about racism being unacceptable whilst calling travellers gypsies.

You have went from saying its a confirmed racial attack to saying it could have been racial from both sides.

Oh so now it's wrong to say gypsies??? :joker: ... gypsies themselves say gypsy , aswell as traveller.

I guess you also think it's offensive to say 'siamese twins' , don't forget to say conjoined twins instead .

Imagine acting like being PC is important .... whilst expecting to hear racist slurs like the N word in a video with bullies.

I said both the black girl and the traveller girl could have been racist towards eachother, how is that a contradiction??? .

Gypsies have always been that way, I don't think skin colour comes into it, gypsies have always fought with anyone.

The gypsy mother is the only person that needs to be investigated here. She was the adult and she was the one encouraging her children. The others are just kids listening to their mother.

The girl put up a good fight considering there was three or four of them onto her.

I think the Police and social services should investigate the mother. But I don't know if the social services have the bottle to take on the gypsy community.
