As per Fulgour's original question... Who's for giving the Gypsies their dues... I certainly am.
Some tend to overlook or forget that many Gypsieswere sacrificed in the war just as the Jews were and for that matter Catholics, etc.
A few years ago a band of Gypsies landed in Canada and they were miserably treated here. I wanted to do something at the time and did not. Ever since I have regretted my lack of involvement. I could have made a scene at least. They are a displaced people and should have been treated as any other people who come to this Country.
My Auntie who was born in 1887 told me the Gypsies used to come onto their land, a very large farm in the North of England, and my Grandfather would welcome them and had for many years. They would stay a while and then move on but they were always treated with respect and I presume were respectful as well. I guess they used to read for my Grandmother although I never got to hear what they had told her.
Did anyone ever ask them were the Tarot cards were from ? That would be interesting.
