It fascinates me how gypsy culture and communities have survived and adapted over the centuries despite continuous persecution throughout Europe.  Incredible really.

yes, the ingenious ways of robbing people they keep coming up with is pretty impressive.

well b'gger me, a site run by gypsy folk which details all the truths about them.....i take it all back, they are quite angelic really. Especially like the bit about crime actually going down in neighbourhoods when they arrive.

I think i will stick with my own experience formed opinion based on vandalism, trespass, criminal damage, increased crime and ripping off old ladies with a bit of dodgy tarmac thank you.

Well I prefer my theory that there is probably good and bad in all communities, including our own.

I was quite happy to go along with the website until the claim that Django Reinhardt helped invent jazz

was you ? To me its like the N.R.A in america saying guns make everybody safe, pure propoganda, there may be some truthful comments on there but they are hardly likely to publicise any bad points are they?

Could be an interesting debate? What constitutes "propaganda"?? Actually it was a "throw away" remark. I take everything I read on websites with a pinch of salt. However I was trying to point out that the assertion that "D.R. helped invent Jazz" to be a step too far.....

There is a fair-sized gypsy site on the Leics/Northants border. Many stolen goods ended up there and the cops would not investigate. However, a massive raid uncovered expensive cars, jewellery + laundered money. The people that live nearby would not take Marinette's charitable view of gypsies; neither would people in other parts of the country that have suffered from their disregard for the laws of the land.

Nice to see a plug for the Waterboys - a top band. Saw them (again) at De Mont in Leic on last tour - 2 1/4 hours of great music. Great chill out
