Denise Milani: The Metropolitan Police director
urges officers to observe
'Gipsy Roma Traveller History Month'
Their arrival in the capital is said to have led to a huge rise in thieving and prompted the creation of a specialist police squad to tackle their sinister activities.
Yet in a move which has caused disbelief amongst rank and file officers, Scotland Yard has asked staff to 'celebrate' the contribution of Roma gipsies to 'London's culture and diversity.'
In a notice posted on the force's intranet website, Denise Milani, director of the Met's 'Diversity and Citizen Focus Directorate', urges officers to observe the first ever 'Gipsy Roma Traveller History Month.'
She says: 'We welcome the celebration of the community's history and contributions to London's culture and diversity.
'The Met Police works to make London a safer city for all and we are committed to understanding and working with all communities, including the Gipsy Roma Traveller community....

Why the outrage? Seems like a perfect excuse for the police to study their ways more closely, to gain better knowledge of their whereabouts and activities, ‘ya know what I mean?
Can Mafia Appreciation Day be far behind?
The ONLY thing I know about gypsies is that they’ll steal the shoes off your feet if you’re not careful.
Gypsies tramps and thieves....

Crikey. That is about NZ$300,000 tax free or about NZ$480,000 before tax... not a bad living by anybody’s standard.
Who says Crime doesn’t pay?
I think you are right about that. years ago my father in law rented some apartments to a bunch of gypsies. I don’t know if they were Roma or Irish but when they left they took everything. They stole the curtains, ceiling fans, door knobs, plumbing fixtures, everything they could remove and carry out was gone.
We breakfasted at the same cafe every day in London. One morning there was a gypsy woman with a baby two booths behind us. The waitress made a point of leaning in and whispering a warning...."Be careful with your things, she's a gypsy. Don't let her get you talking, they're never alone."
The girls (14, 14, 15) had absolutely no clue about the 'gypsy problem'. After that they started to notice the panhandlers and beggars. When we got to Paris they laughed because it looked as though the exact same gypsies had followed us over.

I was at a train station in Ukraine with my Ukrainian wife when she grabs my hand and takes off in a mad sprint. I ask my wife what that was all about. Turns out there was a family of Gypsies sitting on the curb and my wife truly believes that if you make eye contact with them, they'll give you the "Evil Eye" to put you in a trance and steal all your money.
In Pittsburgh, we have a tribe of these mongrols running around, fleecing old people and robbing anything that isnt nails down.
These people are on the same level as Muslims for the destructive nature of thier culture.

The KKKlintons were gypsies? It would explain alot.
Either they saw my burglar alarm, high fence and gates, dogs, security dog signs, or they didn't like my stuff. They probably didn't like my stuff and that is a good thing. ha!
Gypsy history month? The only two attempts to pick my pocket that have ever been made were made by Gypsies....in the Rome subway to be exact.The first was successful and the second one wasn’t.
