Never mind The Only Way Is Essex
(TOWIE), I'm more interested in the goings on in the Gypsy community.
Channel 4's 'Big Fat Gypsy Weddings' Tuesday's 9pm showed the scenes
of the well documented Dale Farm residents fighting against eviction
from the Council and prejudice from their non-gypsy neighbours last
night. The Gypsy's stood strong and they stood together as they were
faced with bulldozers and riot police and didn't give up until every
last caravan was crushed. Viewers heartstrings were pulled as
residents became homeless and gave an insight to the injustice and
“racism” shown towards them. A ten year old girl featured in the
story made TV gold when she said “If more hippies had been here
they could have saved us”. Bless her little heart.
Lightening the mood we seen the wedding
preparations and shenanigans for young Chantelle's wedding.
Thousands of crystals were sewn onto her Big Fat Gypsy dress by the
Gypsy's favourite dressmaker, Thelma and as always, the reception was
an assemble of the males getting drunk and the girls busting their
moves on the dance floor looking like competitors in a Butlins
dancing competition. Fake tan, fake hair, skimpy bright outfits and
massive heels. Gypsy fabulous.
I'm still curious as to why so many
Gypsy men are camera shy and what kind of work they do to generate
such a luxurious lifestyle.
