I've just read it karen and am entirely in agreement with his views. I watched a small amount of the programme and thought it was too ridiculous for words. I have known gypsies and travellers and they are quite different from each other.
I have only ever caught bits of the programme Star, but if it was about any other ethnicity folk would be up in arms. It's a crying shame they are allowed to portray these folk as some sort of joke - they forget how it affects people just trying to live their lives.
