Travellers An article critical of provision of the 1994 law which impose hardships on Gypsies and Travellers in the UK. http://www.ecoln.com/tpeople.html
Extractions: Life in the age of the Act - backs.jpg (171744 bytes) I was driving back to Soham from a business meeting in Cambridge when I came across the site. I was interested because of allegations against 'Gypsies' I'd read recently in the local press - accusing them of acts of vandalism, environmental damage and, of course, theft. I had no prior knowledge of Gypsies apart from they're among the groups of people adults tend to tell their children to stay away from and (in the days when I read it) 'Viz' had a strip titled 'The Thieving Gypsy Bastards'. I could only assume that this group of people is for some bizarre reason the subject of an accepted form of xenophobia in this country. The lifestyle they have followed for many centuries has proved to be more or less impregnable and so incorruptible by modern society in Britain and modern British society is reacting by destroying what it doesn't understand. Over the last few years, a marked increase in the number of middle class adolescents who take to the road with romantic notions of emulating the Gypsies may well have exarcebated the plight of the genuine Gypsies as the adolescent's middle class parents have reacted by doing all that they could to have the few and inadequate facilities used by the travellers bulldozed off or made unavailable to them. It is then also possible that a large portion of the crimes that the Gypsies are blamed for are in fact carried out by local opportunists who can rely on the Gypsies getting blamed.
