Gypsies promise to fight to preserve their way of life
Article Abstract:
The UK Department of Environment has published a document which aims to house all gypsies. The gypsies condemn the document as racist and intend to take their case to the European Court. Most gypsies could not bear to live in houses. The term gypsy covers a wide variety of people: the Sinitis and Romanis. These enjoy ethnic minority protection under the Race Relations Act 1976. Other groups such as Irish and Scottish tinkers and peddlars who have their roots from the 12th century do not enjoy legal protection. Most have adapted their lifestyles and work and receive social security benefit.
