Denise Milani: The Metropolitan Police director
urges officers to observe
'Gipsy Roma Traveller History Month'

Their arrival in the capital is said to have led to a huge rise in thieving and prompted the creation of a specialist police squad to tackle their sinister activities.

Yet in a move which has caused disbelief amongst rank and file officers, Scotland Yard has asked staff to 'celebrate' the contribution of Roma gipsies to 'London's culture and diversity.'

In a notice posted on the force's intranet website, Denise Milani, director of the Met's 'Diversity and Citizen Focus Directorate', urges officers to observe the first ever 'Gipsy Roma Traveller History Month.'

She says: 'We welcome the celebration of the community's history and contributions to London's culture and diversity.

'The Met Police works to make London a safer city for all and we are committed to understanding and working with all communities, including the Gipsy Roma Traveller community....

The mother-of-two's comments were described as 'political correctness off the Richter scale' by one furious detective. He added: 'What planet is this lady living on?

Why the outrage? Seems like a perfect excuse for the police to study their ways more closely, to gain better knowledge of their whereabouts and activities, ‘ya know what I mean?

The ONLY thing I know about gypsies is that they’ll steal the shoes off your feet if you’re not careful.

> Police have estimated that each active Romanian criminal makes about £100,000 a year - most of which is channelled back to his home country to fund luxury cars and homes.

Crikey. That is about NZ$300,000 tax free or about NZ$480,000 before tax... not a bad living by anybody’s standard.

Who says Crime doesn’t pay?

I think you are right about that. years ago my father in law rented some apartments to a bunch of gypsies. I don’t know if they were Roma or Irish but when they left they took everything. They stole the curtains, ceiling fans, door knobs, plumbing fixtures, everything they could remove and carry out was gone.

I took two of my daughters and a favorite niece to London-Paris for Christmas in 2000. We stayed in a flat in upscale South Kensington.

We breakfasted at the same cafe every day in London. One morning there was a gypsy woman with a baby two booths behind us. The waitress made a point of leaning in and whispering a warning...."Be careful with your things, she's a gypsy. Don't let her get you talking, they're never alone."

The girls (14, 14, 15) had absolutely no clue about the 'gypsy problem'. After that they started to notice the panhandlers and beggars. When we got to Paris they laughed because it looked as though the exact same gypsies had followed us over.

My sister was head nurse on a ward at a hospital in Syracuse. A gypsy came in for treatment. Within two days the ward was infested with them (her word). She said they were everywhere and always looking for something to lift. It took the better part of a week and a hard attitude backed up by Syracuse police to rid the hospital of them.

I was at a train station in Ukraine with my Ukrainian wife when she grabs my hand and takes off in a mad sprint. I ask my wife what that was all about. Turns out there was a family of Gypsies sitting on the curb and my wife truly believes that if you make eye contact with them, they'll give you the "Evil Eye" to put you in a trance and steal all your money.

In Pittsburgh, we have a tribe of these mongrols running around, fleecing old people and robbing anything that isnt nails down.
These people are on the same level as Muslims for the destructive nature of thier culture.

They are still around and still at it. In March a house across the street from me was robbed. The police think it was Irish gypsies because of their MO. They took, furniture, rugs, pictures off the walls, clothing, even the mans toothpaste. It chilled my spine because, undoubtedly they peered into my windows while looking for a house to rob.

Either they saw my burglar alarm, high fence and gates, dogs, security dog signs, or they didn't like my stuff. They probably didn't like my stuff and that is a good thing. ha!

Gypsy history month? The only two attempts to pick my pocket that have ever been made were made by Gypsies....in the Rome subway to be exact.The first was successful and the second one wasn’t.

One of the ER nurses I worked with had been a nursing supervisor for the men's medical wards (yes,it was a long time ago) and told us a story about how the “king of the gypsies” was once on a medical floor surrounded by his “flock”.She said that one night as she was approaching that ward for her rounds she saw a group of gypsies making off with the ward's brand new (and quite expensive) ECG machine.
