I'm sure the British don't like gypsies that much. Lots of problems with travellers turning up on land that isn't theirs and trashing the place and committing crime before moving on months later.

"Gypsies and Irish Travellers are recognised as ethnic groups and legally protected against discrimination in the
Equality Act 2010." "Despite this, discrimination against GRT communities is commonplace in the United Kingdom."
"A 2018
Equality and Human Rights Commission report found that 44% of British people expressed openly negative opinions about GRT people, this was the highest level of prejudice against any British ethnic group by a margin of 22%."
And the only reason it's not higher is because loads of British people wouldn't say what they really think unless you got them drunk.
"A 2022
YouGov poll found that 45% of people would be uncomfortable living next door to a Gypsy or Traveller, 38% would be uncomfortable with their child playing at GRT child's house, 33% would be uncomfortable with their child marrying a Gypsy or Traveller, and 34% would be uncomfortable with a Gypsy or Traveller visiting or working on their house."
"A survey of GRT people by Hertfordshire Gypsy and Traveller Exchange found that they described suffering hate speech and hate crimes on an almost daily basis.
[45] 81.6% of GRT respondents felt that hate crimes were "something which members of their community experience routinely and it is therefore ‘simply something GRT folk have to put up with’".
[45] A 2023 report by the Centre on the Dynamics of Ethnicity showed that 62% of Gypsies and travellers had experienced racially-motivated violence, the highest figure of all the groups surveyed.""
