Been watching that gypsy kid TV programme. Some of it makes so much sense.

it only works for that community - we could not all become like that as that would segregate ourselves and we have come to far to go back to that.


it made me sad they they had very little aspirations in life but I do think that does make so much less complexed.

One thing that stood our fo me was the freedom the kids had. Reminded me of my childhood.

Of course it's possible, haven't you noticed that you can be whatever your imagination want's you to be?

yes id love to pay no taxes plant my caravan illegally on prime land , pay no council tax, get the council to pay for the maintenance and for sending my kids to school and allow me to have my horses run free....then claim grazing rights and get free land....the gypsy council ensures the gypsies have more rights and ore hands outs ...around our way they regularly smash up bars and the cops are too damn scared to arrest any of them. in fact ive seen gypsies smashing up bars many times,but ive never seen a gypsy arrested

...(is this a series, Parmy..?..)..I actually only caught a few moments of it last night but Uncle Tony, though....


....hmmm, yeah some of it does make sense I know but then other bits are a bit more of a struggle though...I know of traveller children who have lost their mum because dad has found someone else and even though mum hasn't done anything wrong, she's been 'cast out' of the community and children refused access to her..so there can be some very harsh things in the travelling community as well...and life at school for travelling children is not good at all, sadly......

I'm not sure if it is a series ammi. I would suggest everyone watches it on catch up though to get a flavour of what these kids go through.

Gypsies for the most part are narrow minded, men get to do what they want but women are there to look after the man and kids and clean.

The kids are brought up hard and fast, gypsies get a bad reputation and most of it is deserved.

Yeh I'm sure if you want to live your dream as a gypsy go ahead, just make sure you pick the class 'gypsy man' on the select screen and not 'gypsy woman' because it's a much easier difficulty for a beginner.

I mean I think you're the first person to ask to join the gypsy community.

I expect it's a great life for little boys. However... having seen some of the little girls dressed up like streetwalkers, pouting and and slut-dropping doesn't seem like an idyllic childhood to me.
