My mam stayed in school till she was 16 got degrees in special needs care that was in the 60s-70s she worked with some special needs children when she was younger till she was run over at 17 and was crushed from waist down then she went on to have 5 children and she passed away in 2003
I hope Ben, Anastasia or their Mum will pop on here and leave a msg as to how they are doing. This was filmed in 2016 so i'd love to know if he managed to get his licence as he will be 20 years old now. I see the flight school near Worksop has since closed but I hope he has done well. A man I used to babysit when he was little got his pilot's licence at Tollerton which is a different airfield. He was crazy about flying and then went on to get his commercial licence which saw him flying London to Edinburgh and reverse each day for a company called Flybe and hadn't been there long when they entered administration but thankfully he has managed to find work as an instructor.
Honestly most of these kids are absolutely lovely. They are clever, well-spoken and have skills. They're much more well rounded than the average gorger kid. It boils my blood that they get treated so badly at school.
10:28 Little Jack Joe seems to be such a sweet and caring child. Every episode he’s been on he’s just been easy going and nice. I hope he does work in government someday to help travellers. His parents have raised a good boy. ❤
Not much wonder those poor kids lash out, it’s terrible that these families are thrown from pillar to post, it’s enough to make anyone angry. As for Ben, what an inspiration he is to young people, I wonder how his class mates that bullied him in school feel now seeing him flying a plane at 12 years old? I really hope that he gets all the help & support he needs to get his pilot license. Well done Ben! 🤗❤xx
Ben is such a smart and intelligent young man it’s shameful the way he’s treated at school he has such wonderful manners and he is a credit to his parents, but you just have to look at his mother to see why he is such a wonderful kid and he will succeed in his life he’s very determined.
It breaks my heart for the innocent children. Gypsies are human beings and deserve respect. Just follow the laws of the land. The hate and bigotry is uncalled for. I pray all these children are doing well in life.
where I live all the gypsies are liars and thieves unfortunately :( sad, cuz I think they have a pretty cool way of life, but so many of them ARE vile thieving a-holes :( we used to have to kick them out of my work cuz they'd find leftover drinks, pour them on the floor (creating a safety hazard) and then claim the dropped their drink and try to demand a free one, and come up to the counter saying they were waiting on loads of meals but we all knew none of them had ordered anything. we'd checked the tills anyway just to be sure and right enough, those orders didn't exist. it's a shame for the nice ones but you can't blame people for being skeptical when we have so many negative encounters
This is a real question from a naive American, idk much about gypsies in the UK. I think here in the USA though, Gypsy is a derogatory word. Anyway, my question is, do they pay to live on this land? I assume not. If no, couldn't they just go to a camp ground and pay there? I guess the only problem I have is some of the ones always getting evicted are parking illegally and tapping into electricity illegally, etc. Why do they think they can just stay if they don't pay? And again, that's my assumption from what I see here. Sorry if it sounds rude, I don't mean it to.
it is classed as trespassing and most of them have no jobs to pay for land so they would trespass, but I understand as they are human beings who some struggle financially and I feel bad for all the hate they get.
@@calliew311 they absolutely TRASH all these places as well causing problems for the local residents and leaving the council to pay for the cleanup, plus even evicting them costs money. tax payers are paying through the nose cuz of these people
I feel for you Ben but those kids are the ones missing out on an amazing friendship and experiencing some great adventures with you and your welcoming family.I really hope you get to be a pilot and find the right school or tutor to get you your qualifications you need. I believe you’ll do it and look forward to be flown by you captain ❤
I used to be a TA in a catholic primary school with a large traveller presence and all I have to say is those kids I taught had more manners and were kinder than any of those non travellers.
This type of discrimination gives such “classy if you’re rich, trashy if you’re poor”. Taking kids out of school, raising farm animals, eating your own fresh produce, travelling round the country/living in a mobile home. Free range kids & similar parenting styles is literally a Tik tok trend where wealthy families don’t put their kids in school, travel around, live in usually camper vans (arguably a lot worse than a trailer or mobile home) live like gypsies and travellers. Yet no discrimination for them. Usually because they are wealthy. It’s ridiculous. These kids are living like it’s 2003 which was RARE in 2016 and practically UNHEARD OF nowadays. You may not agree with their customs but they seem happy, head screwed on, having fun, going out, doing things instead of most of us sat watching them on a screen after working all day, all week for someone else.
My heart❤ these children, I can't tell you how proud I am of all of them, I pray that these communities find peace and keep their traditions alive. We can all learn form each other and respect one another. The twins and their cousin, just the absolute best. I hope they and all the other youngns became all they dreamed they would be ❤
What beautiful children Im so sorry that our communities treat others so cruel . Ben is such an adorable young man. His mother must be so proud of him. I wish that in his future his dreams of becoming a pilot comes true. Its disgusting how schools put up with such bullying . it should be the bullies removed not the bullied. The brothers are so lovely looking after each other. I enjoyed this video
I hated school and would have done anything to get out of it. These poor kids just want to be able to live in one spot and get an education but can’t because of who they are? Very sad 😢
I think it's because they don't pay for where they live. And are getting electricity illegally. If they went to a camp ground they would be legal, I just don't know if they can afford it.
I'm sorry, but the kid is getting bullied and, instead of kicking the bully out, they've kicked the kid out? No. They'd get me in there and I'd be bringing hell with me.
@@MattK98mate.... I'm tellin You this wouldn't go down with any other minority group, it's fkd!

good on ya ben , your a credit to your family and people , god be with ya on your lifes journey pal and well done to mam and sister aswell , a great team
Absolutely love Bens family and what they stand for as I do many other of the families, especially Paddys to family. Yes theyve got their opinions, who hasn't? But all they want is a peaceful life, to pay their way and influence the yonger generation to be better ❤❤❤
And at least there not iPads and phones all day. There actually playing and having adventures like we did. Also I hope the young man is encouraged to fly planes. If he works hard , he can achieve anything.
Bens, families traveller site is absolutely immaculate! For the sake of the children local governments should allocate land for travellers to settle permanently. Children need security, the cycle needs to be broken.
Legal sites are kept clean in my experience, however there are very limited legal sites and there is often massive pushback from the people living in any area when a traveller site proposal is bought up. Keeping illegal sites like carparcks clean is impossible because obviously there aren't bins, toilets, running water or electricity .
@@calliew311I was thinking about that too, but unfortunately they don't have camping grounds everywhere they would need to have work. They need to be reserved & at many camping grounds, it's upwards of months to a year in advance. The designated site thing really comes down to NMBY. I feel like people don't feel it's fair to pay their taxes & others don't. They should have some sort of registry where they are all paying to stay & create decent safe areas for everyone, including people who've lost their homes & forced into motorhomes & other vehicles. Definitely an issue that could easily be fixed with the right people in office. Unfortunately though, the government doesn't want people travelling freely. From what I can see, even outside of the traveler issue, they want everyone at home (packed into small communities) renting from the elites like BlackRock & spending all their money on useless things, so they maintain control of the masses. They don't like people being free to do as they choose. So they will do anything to prevent that. Even if it's not related to the "gypsy" culture.
It's not even just NMBY. They don't want people traveling freely. They want people to be stuck in small communities, renting or paying taxes & keeping the money/opportunities from the masses. It especially effects those who've lossed their homes now a days.
Here in the USA we have camp sites you can rent spots , or truckers stops. Walmart will allow you to park in their lots. As long as you keep mobile so the lots can be kept clean, and low noise. There isn’t any reason, not to offer some human decency.
2016?I sure would like a update on them in 2024-I’m so saddened that these poor kids are being bullied,forced out of the schools,families being evicted-the police taking the traitors and arresting that guy just makes it harder for them-band that poor Momma in the hospital and her home being taken from her is just heartless.so much empty land,why can’t they just take acres and let them live there-as long as they are keeping it clean,no trash and working I just don’t agree the anger towards travelers,I’ve watched so many of these shows and hearing it from the kids is just so sad-no one should be judged for the beliefs they have and the way they choose to live
I don't think that's just empty land. Someone or some govt owns it. Maybe some rich benefactor could buy them some land, but they need to do it the proper and legal way and they won't get kicked out. (Hopefully)
I think they are so tough on the traveler's because of the mess they leave .. trash and whatnot .. but the kids are all so smart and quick witted. love em all ❤
1:57 this is crazy these kids are just kids they can't control how or where they live Ben's family is a great example of the new generation of gypsies.i live in MN and I have had a few run ins with gypsies and each time they were nothing but respectful helpful and very nice.the couple older ones were so funny that I met .
You can’t just build or pitch a permanent trailer on any land, even if you own it-you have to have planning permission, and the same planning laws apply to travellers as to every one else. Planning permission will only be given if the proposed land use is in line with the local authority’s Local Plan, and building land (with planning permission for housing) is always much more expensive to purchase than e.g. agricultural land. There’s clearly an issue with not enough authorised traveller sites; but nobody should be above the law.
Britain is a relatively small and extremely densely populated island. If there weren’t planning restrictions, all our green space would gradually be eroded.
Here in Australia it's the same, I had family members who bought 5 acres and it took them 5yrs to build 6 cabins for all their extended family members families. They keep getting denied because the council thought they were going to rent out the cabins as a business. After many denials and years they finally got approval and live happily now on this shared property.
You’re not telling us the whole story, why are they being evicted all the time it can’t be just pure racism Can it? Is it because they live for free on other peoples land and don’t pay taxes I would like to know the whole story. I feel sorry for the kids.
It’s got nothing to do with racism, they move into sites that they don’t own and then throw a hissy fit when they get evicted. It would happen to anyone else but they claim ‘racism’ bc they’re travellers/gypsies. I feel bad for the kids bc they don’t know what’s going on and are being told that they’re being sent off bc of their race but it’s actually bc they’re illegally on the land.
I just don't get it, I never have...I don't understand why these people are treated so differently?! I absolutely hate it. I've always been so fascinated by gypsies and their lifestyles. They seem to be very hardworking people, just trying to carry on their heritage and customs. We could prob learn a thing or two from them, honestly. Let them be!
Not a fan of this community, but what the other children are doing with Ben is simply evil. He wants a different life and has the right to go to school and fulfil his dreams. All 9 schools and all teachers failed him!
which community exactly are you not a fan of? Irish travellers? English travellers? Romani? Roma? New Age Gypsy? Show and fair grounder traveller? there's a lot of different ethnicities that get lumped together under "traveler" even though they have very different histories and origins
@@LexiLaughs All of them. I’m not from the UK, so I have not lived with any kind of travellers. But I’m very much familiar with Sinti and Roma, they’re hated for leaving behind nothing but destruction, rubbish and scammed people. But that doesn’t change the fact that someone from this community, who’s different, shouldn’t be treated differently. Now his classmates and 9 schools have pushed him back in the traveller life they’ve bullied him for in the first place, which is stupid. Wasn’t it in this episode where a father said he wants his daughters to be educated? I respect that.
@@nomadic_orthodox all of them is still very broad considering there are difference's. Roma generally refers to the European born and living outside uk and Romani are English although decent from the same original ethnic group, that was a very long time ago about a thousand years ago they left Indiana and are now quite different in many ways to Romani (or Romany) who mostly don't actually travel anymore so what are they "leaving behind"? and although I don't condone bad behaviour but they were kept as slaves for 500 years and tortured and killed in the hundreds of thousands they have a horrific history and to this day are still treated terribly prob would make you a little reluctant to give respect back maybe! so where are you from? might clarify which particular culture of Nomadic you are talking about
@@LexiLaughs I said I haven’t met them, not I don’t know their history. So long in our countries and still not integrated and segregate themselves from everyone else. I’m not a fan of people that destroy what others have created.
No use going around bullying to get your own way. There will always be someone else that will be bigger, harder , or more intelligent. Handsome, Beautiful ect..
Only just minutes in to this video and absolutely fuming! I work in a senior school on the South coast. No one at this school, students, teachers or support staff alike, have ever treated any student different to another student because of their background. Travellers, asylum seekers, in care, homeless, autistic, ADHD, etc, etc. Makes absolutely no difference. Every student is respected as an individual and will be encouraged? supported and "nagged and encouraged " to do their best.
The gate the kids experience in school is crazy. I have mixed children so they’re technically in the middle and I worry for them but this is a whole different issue.
No one wants to be threatened or abused. Especially vulnerable children and adults who think they are in good hands with the staff or people who know more than what they say depending on the overall plan! Yes or No?!
Being different should be their superpower not curse. Being a traveller means being proud of your tradition yet trying your best to intergrate and not being viewed as outcasts.. Hatred towards them isnt because of ethnicity it's because of envy. Life in mainstream society isn't easy .. And life as a traveller is an easy either. So no need for hatred. It's a deadly disease which shouldn't be allowed to fester.. Living as we should be is now frowned upon..Religions may fall apart but this way of life will never stop to be. All the best to Ben. Being able to learn to fly a plane is one of the greatest privileges you can have as being human let a traveller.
It's sad how ppl treat them they humans plus the kids been bully just make me upset and FUKIN Argy 🤬🤬 hope they find some where they all fit in or could try our country Australia ❤❤❤❤
I thought my daughter At home until she went to school. So she could know not only just the alphabet, but what sounds each letter made. You need to know how to understand how to sound out each word in order to read & write. She was reading prep/ kindergarten books when she was first learning at 2-3yrs. It’s how you teach, not where you learn.
I feel sad for the lack of education for the kids as they need basic skills. But society could learn a lot from the travellers. They clearly are a close community - something we don’t seem to have much of anymore. I’d say they have so many skills and seem to spend a lot of time outside which is far better than in front of a screen.
I'm from the US Tennessee, I don't understand why everyone is so racist with the Gypsy Travelers. No matter what anyone is or what color. We're all human beings and should be treated like one. No one is better than anyone else, it doesn't matter who you are or where you came from. ❤️ it's sad for anyone to be bullied 😢
There, they still worry about schoolyard brawls. Here, we worry if they'll come back alive, as even our preschoolers are required to have backpack-shaped level IIIA body armor shields.
Just look at that they say it’s not safe and they move these Irish families but it’s ok for immigrants to live wherever they choose PLEASE tell me how is this fair that Irish people are being pushed out all the time.
I don’t even think I’ve wanted anything as badly for my own life as much as I want Ben to become a pilot. What a great kid
I couldn't agree more❤ He's an amazing kid.
REAL
He's an amazing young man who deserves to live his dreams!❤
Such an awesome little guy! Wish his dreams all come true! ❤
The world needs more Ben’s. That kid is going places. He’s gifted. It’s a shame that the school couldn’t see his gifts. To clouded by judgment
Him asking the friends he’s made “is it alright if I’m a traveller?” Broke my heart 💔
waaaaa
@@maximisatwat🍑🎩⚠️
Knew ben throughout all of school was good mates, hes doing well for himself now👍
Thank you for being kind to him.
Is he a pilot now? :3
Ben is a good lad and his mum is really supportive of her children's ambitions she is doing a great job rearing her children
The bullying breaks my heart…as a teacher I would be a failure if this was happening to one of my students. Where is the empathy?
The fact that Ben's sister is still in school at 13 tells you this family is different from the other families portrayed on this show.
We had a few who stayed until gcses were finished only a handfull of nullying incidents until they called there cousins down to the school gates.
My mam stayed in school till she was 16 got degrees in special needs care that was in the 60s-70s she worked with some special needs children when she was younger till she was run over at 17 and was crushed from waist down then she went on to have 5 children and she passed away in 2003
Now my children are all in school my 12 year old daughter wants to be a doctor you don't hear of many traveller doctors
I hope Ben, Anastasia or their Mum will pop on here and leave a msg as to how they are doing. This was filmed in 2016 so i'd love to know if he managed to get his licence as he will be 20 years old now. I see the flight school near Worksop has since closed but I hope he has done well.

2016?I sure would like a update on them in 2024-I’m so saddened that these poor kids are being bullied,forced out of the schools,families being evicted-the police taking the traitors and arresting that guy just makes it harder for them-band that poor Momma in the hospital and her home being taken from her is just heartless.so much empty land,why can’t they just take acres and let them live there-as long as they are keeping it clean,no trash and working I just don’t agree the anger towards travelers,I’ve watched so many of these shows and hearing it from the kids is just so sad-no one should be judged for the beliefs they have and the way they choose to live
I don't think that's just empty land. Someone or some govt owns it. Maybe some rich benefactor could buy them some land, but they need to do it the proper and legal way and they won't get kicked out. (Hopefully)
Great Documentary should deserve more likes. Honestly like travellers, very smart clothes and tidy homes. Quite envy them personally.
I think they are so tough on the traveler's because of the mess they leave .. trash and whatnot .. but the kids are all so smart and quick witted. love em all ❤
Hes a delightful young man and he should be proud of the way he holds himself😊
1:57 this is crazy these kids are just kids they can't control how or where they live Ben's family is a great example of the new generation of gypsies.i live in MN and I have had a few run ins with gypsies and each time they were nothing but respectful helpful and very nice.the couple older ones were so funny that I met .
I must say the schools are failing kids
My son is not a traveller and he was attacked in school
For nothing
Looking for updated videos on what these children are doing now. Hope Ben achieved some of his goals - what a lovely family.
hang on a minute, the community at Dale Farm owned their own land but couldn't build on it and had their houses destroyed?! how is that legal ...
You can’t just build or pitch a permanent trailer on any land, even if you own it-you have to have planning permission, and the same planning laws apply to travellers as to every one else. Planning permission will only be given if the proposed land use is in line with the local authority’s Local Plan, and building land (with planning permission for housing) is always much more expensive to purchase than e.g. agricultural land. There’s clearly an issue with not enough authorised traveller sites; but nobody should be above the law.
Because the British planning laws are crazy
Britain is a relatively small and extremely densely populated island. If there weren’t planning restrictions, all our green space would gradually be eroded.
Here in Australia it's the same, I had family members who bought 5 acres and it took them 5yrs to build 6 cabins for all their extended family members families. They keep getting denied because the council thought they were going to rent out the cabins as a business. After many denials and years they finally got approval and live happily now on this shared property.
Ps never wanted Ben, his sister + family to succeed as much as I do. Wishing them all the v best of luck, beautiful family x x
I would love in a place like Bens.. looks marvellous.
Be nice for update on the kids in this video please.
My heart breaks for the children and their families. Racism is taught and people need to be more educated
That is not racism
Stereotypes come from somewhere… hopefully these kids can be the change they want to see
May not go to school but these kids are very smart
You’re not telling us the whole story, why are they being evicted all the time it can’t be just pure racism Can it? Is it because they live for free on other peoples land and don’t pay taxes I would like to know the whole story. I feel sorry for the kids.
It’s got nothing to do with racism, they move into sites that they don’t own and then throw a hissy fit when they get evicted. It would happen to anyone else but they claim ‘racism’ bc they’re travellers/gypsies. I feel bad for the kids bc they don’t know what’s going on and are being told that they’re being sent off bc of their race but it’s actually bc they’re illegally on the land.
Ben I’m so proud of you I hope you make it to the top you deserve it so much and good luck for the future god bless 💙👍👌🏻
Not good to see a little innocent 4 year old been exposed to violent cage fighting
No matter what the culture
love them all xxx
Im impressed...those kids can fight...just watching them box....to me the bullies need to back off...lol
When I was growing up, the word gypsy was banned from our home. No surprise to find out we are gypsys, and my family tried to break the mould
Great video. Lovely kids.
I just feel like screaming, “Just freakin leave them alone!”
I just don't get it, I never have...I don't understand why these people are treated so differently?! I absolutely hate it. I've always been so fascinated by gypsies and their lifestyles. They seem to be very hardworking people, just trying to carry on their heritage and customs. We could prob learn a thing or two from them, honestly. Let them be!
😢 breaks my heart for the kids
This is so heartbreaking. Im sorry travellers get treated this way. They have more family values than most people in Britain
Not a fan of this community, but what the other children are doing with Ben is simply evil. He wants a different life and has the right to go to school and fulfil his dreams. All 9 schools and all teachers failed him!
which community exactly are you not a fan of? Irish travellers? English travellers? Romani? Roma? New Age Gypsy? Show and fair grounder traveller? there's a lot of different ethnicities that get lumped together under "traveler" even though they have very different histories and origins
@@LexiLaughs All of them. I’m not from the UK, so I have not lived with any kind of travellers. But I’m very much familiar with Sinti and Roma, they’re hated for leaving behind nothing but destruction, rubbish and scammed people. But that doesn’t change the fact that someone from this community, who’s different, shouldn’t be treated differently. Now his classmates and 9 schools have pushed him back in the traveller life they’ve bullied him for in the first place, which is stupid. Wasn’t it in this episode where a father said he wants his daughters to be educated? I respect that.
@@nomadic_orthodox all of them is still very broad considering there are difference's. Roma generally refers to the European born and living outside uk and Romani are English although decent from the same original ethnic group, that was a very long time ago about a thousand years ago they left Indiana and are now quite different in many ways to Romani (or Romany) who mostly don't actually travel anymore so what are they "leaving behind"? and although I don't condone bad behaviour but they were kept as slaves for 500 years and tortured and killed in the hundreds of thousands they have a horrific history and to this day are still treated terribly prob would make you a little reluctant to give respect back maybe! so where are you from? might clarify which particular culture of Nomadic you are talking about
@@LexiLaughs I said I haven’t met them, not I don’t know their history. So long in our countries and still not integrated and segregate themselves from everyone else.
I’m not a fan of people that destroy what others have created.
Wow, protective isolation??? Are the school teachers teaching him in this protective isolation.
No use going around bullying to get your own way. There will always be someone else that will be bigger, harder , or more intelligent. Handsome, Beautiful ect..
You must be weak as a pensioner 😂😂😂😂😂 I love it
Only just minutes in to this video and absolutely fuming!
I work in a senior school on the South coast.
No one at this school, students, teachers or support staff alike, have ever treated any student different to another student because of their background.
Travellers, asylum seekers, in care, homeless, autistic, ADHD, etc, etc. Makes absolutely no difference.
Every student is respected as an individual and will be encouraged? supported and "nagged and encouraged " to do their best.
The gate the kids experience in school is crazy. I have mixed children so they’re technically in the middle and I worry for them but this is a whole different issue.
I love gypsies and travelers
I don't understand why the council won't give them land to live on! It's crazy
Great video Harvey 😊
My heart breaks for Ben he seems like a nice kid , what horrible bullies out there
Why can’t they make safe sites for them. In Canada we have lots of legal trailer parks. This is inhumane. I feel for these people
ben is ace going to go far, tony is a beast keep at the cage fighting. travellers people are so misunderstood they are good people.
No one wants to be threatened or abused. Especially vulnerable children and adults who think they are in good hands with the staff or people who know more than what they say depending on the overall plan! Yes or No?!
The Irish grandpa understands that their way of life is dying out and that the children need education.
Love 💕 all the Romany Gypsy travelers
Travelers are so wonderful
Being different should be their superpower not curse. Being a traveller means being proud of your tradition yet trying your best to intergrate and not being viewed as outcasts.. Hatred towards them isnt because of ethnicity it's because of envy. Life in mainstream society isn't easy .. And life as a traveller is an easy either. So no need for hatred. It's a deadly disease which shouldn't be allowed to fester.. Living as we should be is now frowned upon..Religions may fall apart but this way of life will never stop to be. All the best to Ben. Being able to learn to fly a plane is one of the greatest privileges you can have as being human let a traveller.
It's sad how ppl treat them they humans plus the kids been bully just make me upset and FUKIN Argy 🤬🤬 hope they find some where they all fit in or could try our country Australia ❤❤❤❤
I thought my daughter At home until she went to school. So she could know not only just the alphabet, but what sounds each letter made. You need to know how to understand how to sound out each word in order to read & write. She was reading prep/ kindergarten books when she was first learning at 2-3yrs.
It’s how you teach, not where you learn.
I feel sad for the lack of education for the kids as they need basic skills. But society could learn a lot from the travellers. They clearly are a close community - something we don’t seem to have much of anymore. I’d say they have so many skills and seem to spend a lot of time outside which is far better than in front of a screen.
I just can't get over how horrible they treat animals!! It's so sad
Wow, the principal of the school doesn’t care that Ben is not going back to elementary school. That is awful.
The sky's the limit Ben😊 I trust that young man in a airplane I hope that all his dreams come true😊
So they owned so land and got thrown out, honestly soo depressing
They were tresspassing
This show (as interesting as it is) is like public relations for travelers at this point.
I'm from the US Tennessee, I don't understand why everyone is so racist with the Gypsy Travelers. No matter what anyone is or what color. We're all human beings and should be treated like one. No one is better than anyone else, it doesn't matter who you are or where you came from. ❤️ it's sad for anyone to be bullied 😢
There, they still worry about schoolyard brawls. Here, we worry if they'll come back alive, as even our preschoolers are required to have backpack-shaped level IIIA body armor shields.
Just look at that they say it’s not safe and they move these Irish families but it’s ok for immigrants to live wherever they choose PLEASE tell me how is this fair that Irish people are being pushed out all the time.
Or charming, or deceitful. Or have a channge of mind depending on the experience. Thats what merci means or forgiveness. Or just being a good person.
