Gypsies Seek Ruling in
Euro Courts Shocker |

Gypsies, once the pariah of Europe and friend
to socialists everywhere, took a step closer to entering the European Courts
of Human Rights yesterday. Gypsies, once known for their Romany kind heartedness, selling of lucky heather and clothes pegs, foretelling of futures and skills in fence and wall building, have seen their standing in the community slide. This, says their representative, Mr. Slovenly Rogue, has almost disappeared with the advent of the 'Traveller'. First the Irish and their ginger offspring took to their travels laying down roads and rifling local communities. Then came your layabouts and hippies who wanted to live outside the laws and bring up their extended inbred families on state handouts and the black economy. Well, it's not good enough anymore, we want a stop to it. The legal advisor for the Romany's, Dr. T. Leaf of the Rumanian State school of Law, said "these once noble folk, welcomed by the various states of Europe and trusted for their hard work and diligence, are now labelled among the riff raff of Europe". The good doctor explained his two pronged attack on the Courts "first we will seek to have the term gypsy outlawed except when describing a true Romany, and that description must only be in a positive light. Secondly we will seek copyright on the term 'Gypsies', which as you know is cockney rhyming slang - we cannot prevent it's derogative use for what is a loving act to the Romany, so we will try to receive much needed cash for its use".
