Gypsys (Romanies) and ****** (Irish Tinkers) are two different things.

I have to agree with ElvisFan. True Gypsys are actually really nice people (the ones I have met anyhow).

Well, is he! Apparently some dirty travelling types..

It always ****** me off when these people are referred to as 'travelers'. They never travel anywhere unless forcibly moved on and will illegally occupy a site for years if allowed.

It's a consequence of the American litigation culture migrating across the pond. Anything is fair game if you can make a 'buck' out of it.

Basil Brush show racism row ends

Officers investigating an episode of TV programme The Basil Brush Show after a complaint of racism have said they will take no further action.

A member of the public reported a scene which showed a Gypsy woman trying to sell Basil Brush heather and pegs.

Northamptonshire Police received a complaint about the repeat episode of the children's programme broadcast on digital channel CBBC.

Police said the complaint had been concluded without any arrests.

On Sunday, a Northamptonshire police spokesman, said: "The complaint was logged as an incident of a racist nature and our hate crimes unit is investigating."

Basil Brush, who appears on morning TV show Saturday Swap Shop on BBC2 first appeared in the 1960s and is well known for his catchphrase, "Boom Boom".

The programme has also been released on DVD.

I'm sorry but that really is laughable. I only had someone in our shop a couple of weeks ago selling "magic heather" or whatever she was blabbering on about.

GUEST BLOG: BASIL BRUSH

I say, do you know, I went into the local sweet shop to buy myself a quarter of everlasting gobstoppers the other day, only to discover it had been taken over by a bunch of foreigners!

I approached the counter and asked the man for me sweeties: "A quarter of your finest gobstoppers please, my good squire!" The fella behind the counter shook his head and pointed to a load of pongy old sausages hanging from the ceiling. I took one look at the ghastly things and told him: "Pheeeww! If you think I'm eating any of your dirty, foreign muck you must be a Scotch egg short of a picnic."

When I got home, I told Mr Nick I'd changed my mind and that I would be attending the BNP meeting that night, after all. The sooner we get rid of these lazy, stinking Polak scumbags, the better.

Whole story

Boom filipping boom!

You can see the racism in his eyes, he damaged so many young children with his brutal racist beliefs. heaven forbid the return of basil brush!!!!

Its a bloody joke how certain groups will cry for a little attention these days like there feelings are hurt, hell they took a hell of a lot worse 20 year ago but they think these days with the nanny state we live in they can get some sort of perverted respect because they are the victim load of tosh.
