I know Gypsy's and believe me its all a show for the camera's, the majority of them are low life theiving scum. They make out that they are all religious and have high moral standards (just like our muslim friends) but they would steal from a charity given the chance. One of my friends works in the courts and at the moment is dealing with a case involving 'travellers' which is particularly nasty.

Swanlee is a legend!

i draw the line at being grabbed

That was borderline sexual harassment!

 

[simzzzz]

Bootleg has probably got it down right. There were lots of posts on the 4 website, and many gypsies/travellers had written responses. Most of all, they were terrible at spelling, what sort of education do the majority get? One put something interesting about how they were a Romany gypsy, and to not believe that all Gypsies are like the ones in the film.

It was all very patriarchal though...all the girls running round in the skimpiest of skimpies...socialised into that lifestyle from the day they're born..."marriage is the ultimate goal/looking after your man, keeping ur legs shut for when ur husband comes along (who actually doesn't have to be a virgin n can do what the fuck he likes), the outside world is very badd (not really that bad, probably the same I'd guess), and WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GRABBING THING?!?!?!?! the girl looked upset, but daren't have shown it. It's almost like a cult.

They may have 'morals', but what about all the domestic abuse that goes on (which is very high amongst traveller communities), lack of education. etc.

But really, who am I to judge, we're all in our own crazy little world one way or another...I don't think I realise how much until I see people conducting 'living' in a completely different way.


***For the program makers***

Mixed messages guys, typical 'shockumentary'. It was like a gossip collumn in a documentary, which is bad. These people in the film, will not have the foggiest of how they're really being portrayed (they don't have our mind set, so they'd never get the semiotic/symbolic messages put over thru editing). eg - when a girl is talking about being 'moral' and the visual is of a girl wearing a g-string in church...to her, thats fine, but she won't know how millions will be judging. naughty!

The girls are a lot more blessed with the 'good looking' gene.:|

Where the hell do they get all of the cash to pay for these dresses, they cost 10s of thousands sometimes, yet the live in shit (I don't mean the vans...just the general muck about).


phew x

I agree. I have had experience of a few travelling folk in Ireland. They used to work with our horses, so we had a good relationship, we paid e for work which was well done (training horses when we didn't have time) They are a very tightly knit community, and yes, they look out for their own, AND same as in EVERY race in life, there are good & bad. Speech over.

Emz.

Some good points there

 

[DC Mills]

Lozzie, Romany gypsies are Eastern European in origin & very different from the "travelling folk" seen here in Britain, who are mainly of Irish Travelling blood.

...socialised into that lifestyle from the day they're born..."marriage is the ultimate goal/looking after your man, keeping ur legs shut for when ur husband comes along (who actually doesn't have to be a virgin n can do what the fuck he likes)...

I'm with ya Loz.
Not wanted to post on this thread cos it's all been lighthearted, but parts of that prog made me feel sick watching it.

Misogyny/brainwashing/abuse/subjugation of women.
Interviewer: "So what qualities do you look for in a husband?"
Gypsy girl: "One who doesn't hit me."
:|
Not to mention the distinct whiff of 'grooming'.
I'll stop there.

Romany Gypsy's are low down dirt theiving scum who specialising in pickpocketing. There victims are mainly old or other vulnerable people.

Irish Gypsy's are also thieving lying scum. I once saw a site they had taken over for a few months and after they got evicted there was rubbish and human excrement all over. They hadn't even used toilets (must not have them.)

I would trust my cat more with a block of cheese than a Gypsy.
