wonder if he'd used the word Pikey instead if gypsy he'd be in the same trouble.

I remember Viz got into trouble for the same thing years ago when they printed a cartoon called " Thieving Gypsy Bastard" with a plot line very similar to Mr Brush's. The next month they printed one call the "Good Honest Gypsy".

Quote:
Orignaly posted by WikipediaThe comic got in trouble with the United Nations after featuring a strip called 'The Thieving Gypsy Bastards'; unbeknownst to the Viz editorial team at the time, Gypsies are regarded as a race under UK law and thus the comic was guilty of racism. During the resultant court case, UK newspaper The Sun ran a story revealing that the principal Roma man who initiated the action against them was in fact also being tried for, and was later found guilty of, handling stolen property.

Yes Im sure the Pike...person of Romany/Traveller decent, would indeed have a licence and probably sky tv on their 'gypo caravan', I mean, their 'Residence with Mobile capabilities'.

I am sure its quite wrong to say that they are all thieving b@@@@@ds,its like saying all Norwegians are Blond. Mind you how many black haired Norwegians do you see? Pegs anyone?

Maybe it will stop when people stop making racist comments about people. Using the words Pikey and thieving gypsy b....etc are racist comments and shouldn't be tolerated.
