I’m a proud traveller, people call me a ‘pi**y’ and accuse me of stealing – they’re just jealous of my beautiful home

April 22, 2022

A TRAVELLER has hit back at trolls who call her a ‘pi**y’ and accuse her of stealing.

Mum-of-two Shannon Britton uploaded a series of videos showing around her home and said she lives “better than most people.”

Shannon often shares snippets from her traveller life on her TikTok page, and sometimes receives a mixed reaction.

She wrote on a house tour video: “POV [point of view] Your a pi**y, your house has wheels.”

Shannon added of cruel comments: “It doesn’t bother me in the slightest I no I live better than all the people who hate.”

One person defended her and said: “Don’t know why people have to be so rude.

“The most important thing about a home is that it feels like home. You clearly love yours.”

Another added: “STUNNING HOME!

“All of the traveller community especially the women keep their homes in top shape, children well dressed and fed! I love your home!”

Shannon replied saying: “Thank you for the nice comments and the hate shows more about the people you are than it does me , I’ve very happy with my home and my life.”

The traveller mum admitted it's the "most asked question" on her videos.

"It’s not uncomfortable, it feels like sitting on a leather sofa," she said.

"The reason we do it is to keep them clean and to stop them getting damaged.

"It’s a white sofa. We like to keep things looking new and clean."

Shannon also said that her children are another reason for the coverings.

"I also have two small children so yeah, we do get a lot of spillages and baby vomit, so it keeps it clean – that’s the main thing," she added.

According to Traveller Movement, there are around 300,000 travellers in the UK, although the real number is not known as many of these communities do not participate in the census.
