I've been reading this thread for a while and seen multiple derogatory comments about Tommy being a gypsy which I don't think is fair at all. I come from a travelling background myself, have 7 GCSES and 2 a-levels, would you call me incompetent or stupid because i'm a traveller? Yes, I will admit he's quite thick hahaha but I wouldn't blame that on being a gypsy at all, I would just say he's stupid quite frankly It personally offends me seeing it because people like to put us in a box when we are all different people. I'd also like to say that I'm not exactly the same kind of traveller as Tommy, I'm a showman but I can relate on people putting me down because of pre-judgement and stereotypes. There are bad stereotypes for gypsies and some do live up to them but most actually don't, me being included. Gypsy women are known for doing the cooking, cleaning blah blah but most I know and especially this year because of corona have been working alongside their husbands and I know a few boys who cook alongside their girlfriends and wives. Some are more traditional than others, just like everyone else in the world everyone is different and have different opinions and morals. Just wanted to get this off my chest because I didn't like some of the things i've read on here
