[ndacedarwood]

Heydrich was soving the gypsy plague.

[ZLUGGO]

They didn' t CLAIM Egyptian origin. People assumed that they were Egyptians.

Super film !!!!!, Hatred, indifference, and racists are the worst things on earth!

[TheOldrecordclub]

What a good video,i really enjoyed watching it.5***** Carl

[lith47]

I'm proud of my Roma grandfather!!

[Twitchy28]

This is a great insight into how Roma's once lived. It is a sad affair that this is rapidly becoming history, with a culture being diminished due to the difficulties of carrying on a lifestyle with traditional views due to the prejudices in wider society.

[estemundo73]

Envy and hatred ignorance kills! Who judges all the Roma, and thinks that all gypsies are criminals have a very limited memory and xenophobic! Those who argue the Holocaust, which was the worst cruelty ever committed in the universe, and want the extermination of a people has no value mural to criticize others! Without any doubt the racist and xenophobic extremism that support the Roma are the most despicable beings and frustrated oF HUMANITY!

[theslowcoach]

Fantastic film. What a wonderful way to live. Wish I could have been there to live it too.

[blondiebabs]

fablous  xxx

[DjGaryMillar01]

Fantastic archieve footage of a way of life thats almost extinct.

As a true descendant of romany blood, I've found this footage to be amonst the best that i've seen to date.

An excellent insight into the travelling fraternity, & a fabulous tribute to the ancestors of many.

God bless.

Kind regards, Gary.

Me mums family were romanys and she has pics from the 50s and 60s similiar to the video clip we just watched and its intresting on how things have changed i personally blame irish travellers for the bad reputation that gypsies have these days proper romanys never stole from anyone but the irish are really bad and thats coming from a guy who has gypsy relatives..

[topholewhat0]

great vid. i would have loved to have spent a summer with this group

[hoxtonboxer]

Go to tpuc dot org..learn the true law of this land, COMMON LAW, Statute & Acts need consent, Always put a police Constable on his /her Oath. Acts are rules and to make them law they need your consent, look for Robert Menard & John Harris on you tube

God's Peace to all gypsies and travellers & Freemen/women of the land

[1958kimberly]

great to see how it was back then, it is important to keep the history alive and pass it on to our children

[penkushty]

Kushty bit of film and we're lucky to have it. But it would be much better if a Traveller was narrating it. The music is divvy and as for the language not being spoken any more, well, more gojia lies. Yeckrus ta te divvus chavvi, the bori gorjia ryor kakka jinnen asa but Romany chalor rokkerenna kushtines o tatcha puri chib.

[ibbiwho]

They didn't claim to come from Egypt. A scholar decided that they came from Egypt.

[VoidRou]

@ibbiwho of corse they claim to come fro egypt you lier ! now they call themselfs romani or romanies, so people can made confusion between them and romanians, who are 2 different things ! fucking thiefs stop stealing the motherfucking ethnonyms

[artistjoh]

@ibbiwho It was more than just a scholar who said we were Egyptian, ordinary people decided we looked Egyptian. It was a widespread prejudice. In France they thought we came from Bohemia therefore we were called Bohemians. In Scandinavia which is where my family resided from the 17th century the locals thought we were Tartars from Russia so they called us Tattare. Where ever we went nobody thought to ask us what we called ourselves or where we came from.

[ibbiwho]

@artistjoh You are right, many people over the centuries didn't care where we came from, all they knew was they didn't like the us. In the UK we are Romany, many of our people do not really know our history well but because of the internet our history is getting known. In some ways it has made us stronger. Many real Romany in the UK do what they have always done, keep quiet about their ethnicity and save it for home. Those who say they are a Gypsy the loudest, usually aren't. Opre Roma.

[stiglaa]

@ibbiwho

Well I for one am very proud of my Roma Blood, and I am not ashamed in anyway of having it flow through my veins. My family go back many generations in the New Forest area of England. I say to you ibbiwho, be proud of who you are :)

[ibbiwho]

@stiglaa I am proud of my ancestry. That is why I get annoyed with the wannabees who think that by living in a caravan, it makes you a Romany. It don't . It is what's in your veins. I fight against prejudice all the time but a lot of wannabees give real Romanys a bad name.

We was always brought up to keep it to ourselves, if other people don't know, you won't be at a disadvantage because of the prejudice. Most of the Rom I know think the same, we know who we are & know our own when we see them.

[xander7ful]

I once read an article by Barbara Cartland, the author, where she said she was on a town council in Britain that had to make a decision about some Gypsies. They were camping out near the town river for the water and they wanted to enroll their kids in school. The town council decided to kick them off the land and bar their kids from school. Gypsies get a bad rap. It's like the chicken or egg riddle. They're banned from society but are supposed to behave themselves? It's a bad rap.

[hipretty]

very cool to have this piece of footage!

[Teens1970]

this is great my grandparents were Romany's and were from kent our family settled in East malling & caterbury will be asking mum if she recognises anyone!

[silver760]

When gypos were gypos,not thieving/begging/robbing benefit scrounging illegal occupying pains in the ass.They WORKED for a living then,when the job was done they MOVED ON. Not concrete them to their current site as they do now amid the mountains of refuse.They didnt steal water and electricity either.

[needie84]

hello my mate ave u got anymore of this video cause me grandfathers people come from there and he was born there if u ave txt me back cause id liked to get a copy if i can cheers my mate kushti bok.

[just4fun444fun]

FANTASTIC ! thanks for posting , im not a traveller or Romany, but know a few and am friends with them , great people

[silver760]

@just4fun444fun Dont know what country you live in,but in the UK they are a blighted plague.They rob/thieve/beg/sell drugs and scrounge benefits their not entitled to and have never paid a penny in Tax towards society.The break into peoples property,knock down gates and park their caravans illegaly until the police kick them off,then they bugger off and leave a massive rubbish dump behind consisting of rotting sofa's,dead cars,refuse,gas cylinders,dead dogs.Then the bastards go and do it again!

[just4fun444fun]

@silver760 I do not know one Romany like that ! your talking about Pikeys mate. Romany travellers were never like that .

[seonidh]

@just4fun444fun people get us and the irish gypsies mixed up. We are the gentleman of the roads while the irish travellers fight. We dont mix with them. Dordi

[smokeyjoe100]

@silver760 You can't tar ALL gypsies with the same brush...there's good and bad alike, otherwise we might as well say ALL you house dwellers are pedophiles, woman beaters and druggies (which your not). Your way of thinking is retarded at best, racist at worst...ever thought of saying it to their faces instead of hiding behind a keyboard? Thought not.

[hipretty]

@smokeyjoe100 bravo!!

[GypsyQueen384]

@silver760 not all are the same there are different type of Gypsy's like Roma, vlachy etc. u cant judge all for one its not fare no one judges the white n SOME kill & rape which is worst then stealing, i seen a white man stealing doesnt mean every white man does or if some individual kills does that mean the whole diversity has to suffer and be symbolized for cruel names? No, im a gypsy and in University and every one else here in Canada r decent gypsys u need to stop being so judgmental

[seonidh]

@GypsyQueen384 I agree Im a gypsy as well a Romanichal and they judge us all badly well its their problem. Like all societies some have bad and good elements. I too have an education and bettered myself.

[BlainePistolle]
