‘Thought they were gypsies?..........’

No, all our ‘gypsies’ are Irish.

‘Is “Gypsy” considered a non-PC term now?......’

Yes, I believe the correct term these days is ‘thieving pikey bastards’. . . . .

‘I think caravans are more along the lines of campers.’

Caravans (also known as tin-tents!) are towed behind cars, whereas a caravanette is a caravan stuck on the back of a van and is driven. The only time you will see either driven above the speed limit is when they are being driven by a chain-smoking 12 year old gypsy. . . . . :)

Agreed.

Jeff Foxworthy would not approve, either.

Seemingly, as opposed to always being "wolves in sheep's clothing", the terms "Social Justice" and "Progressive Politics" have been largely hijacked by the left.
And much more so the former as the latter remains fairly commonly used in discussions of Catholic theology.

However, I agree with your conclusion which echoes the Godly views of Saints Augustine & Thomas Aquinas along with many others.

On an unrelated note, I'd add the article could have just as easily been written about similar conditions, although maybe not quite as widespread & entrenched, in either Canada or the U.S.

British soccer fans in training?

“Is “Gypsy” considered a non-PC term now?......”

Probably. And there are so many of them now aren’t there?.

But the mostly Irish “gypsies” in England and the rest of the UK are usually call “travelers” I think. That’s what I heard, last time I was there.

“Probably. And there are so many of them now aren’t there?.”

I meant “non PC terms”, not gypsies, etc.
