MADDOG69: And so they should be.
"IF" they are anything like most tribes in U.S. and eastern europe they should be in jail as common thieves and con artists par excellence. 100,000 grand a year for dumping in public I venture.

Some of them are really rich, more of them are poor.
None of them I'd describe as vulnerable. They will outlast us all. Gypsy life will find a way when the markets fall and the last iPad flickers out.

Gypsies are the only group in society where survivors are in the majority. Working or upper class, country or town, the survivors are in the minority everywhere else, and amongst those born in the middle classes I doubt if I've ever met more than a handful of survivors in my entire life.

The obvious minority are rich, the hidden majority are poor.
Plus , travellers have a much lower life expectancy than settled people.
Literacy rates are lower, and unemployment is higher.
This is not a judgement call, just a fact.
