Marrying Into The Gypsy Way of Life | The Gypsies Next Door | OMG Weddings

The third episode of this brand new series, GYPSIES NEXT DOOR, explores for the first time why the Gypsy and Traveller communities often struggle to live side by side.
English traveller Tony grew up on a traveller site with his family in Surrey but he’s dreaming of a new life for himself and his kids. He’s set up a new sunbed business with non traveller millionaire Colin and he wants to turn his life around and provide a home for his kids in his new chalet. But his neighbours don’t want him to erect it on land near their houses. All was going so well for him until he has a brush with the law.

Unfortunately too many (boys) because? they’re not men! walk away from their responsibilities as fathers to their own offspring. Maybe they’re all should learn safer sex and be man enough to take half the responsibility or put a rubber on it, why leave the full responsibility’s and women holding the baby and state bring up your children.

[@melindaroop1346]

Yeah but it doesn't help that she was raised in a community where you're taught. You have to marry very young. Have no education and pop as many babies out as your husband puts in you and then to have that husband be a piece of garbage abandon you and end up in jail and leave you with seven children. What was she really supposed to do? It's not like she can get a job because she has no way to get child care. Not to mention she has zero education.

Tony: “I can’t really read, I was freestylin’ “ 😅 He’s always been open and honest about the fact he can’t read and he’s always hilarious about it. I know he’s got a lot going on and these shows are pretty old, but I really hope for his own benefit he learns. He’s ambitious and has a lot of business and property issues he can really be taken advantage of if he can’t read contracts, banking information, leases, etc. I hope he’s doing well. 😊

actually as a funeral director I've done a few and I'm sorry they are arseholes they turn up at the chapel of rest pissed rude loud trying to lift the person up to hug them and it's not advised as things can happen and when you tell them they still try to lift them up , they leave cabs all over the grave yard trampling others graves swearing they show no respect at all your totally wrong there

[@chloefalla3716]

@@user-wi6hh8lz6r I think you have to look at it a different way. It's not the way YOU would consider showing respect, but other cultures show grief and celebrate a life differently. I agree, showing up pissed and loud is not typically considered civilised, but we are talking about a group of people with a different culture.

[@vkdrk]

yeah we should all be doing this. Funerals like this in front of YOUR house every day (you seem to love the idea so much). Let's respect OUR loved ones and piss off everyone around us.

Margaret will keep having children, and she will keep blaming "the gorgers" very loudly, every time she is not given something for free. That man saying if it wasn't for her being a traveller, she would have been embraced as a poster child for the cause. Nope. She would be seen as an irresponsible mother no matter what her nationality or cultural background.

You are so right about this. People like her just take, take and take all the time i wonder how much tax she has pay in her life. I'm sure i know the answer non so why you expecting everyone else pay for your kids? by age 40 she will have 13 kids still not working and be a grandmother of 5 and she will still be complaining that she is not treated better and this will be not the end as she is teaching the kids to how to be a "Victim" whole your life. Start from paying in and then maybe just maybe after 20 years you can ask for something back....

[@Fay3-]

Contraception is free in the UK so I’m not sure what the issue is with getting some. It doesn’t cost a penny under the NHS. Of course everyone has the right to have children, but if you’re in a position where you can’t look after them, it’s just selfish and unfair for the children.

[@bosvigos9165]

Possibly she is Catholic...?

[@cmtaylor]

it's possible she was absolutely able to provide before. her situation could be due to the death of a partner, loss of a job, etc. what's unfair and selfish is you judging someone's situation without having any information about it.

If they are catholic, they might not believe in it.

So many people on here praising the mother with 7 kids. However statistically those children will grow up to live a life of extreme poverty and criminality themselves. People like her need education from the beginning. She looks like she had her first child when she was a teenager. That’s when the education of responsible parenting should have taken place.

It's like when you get married to anyone from another culture--you either adapt to their culture or they have to adapt to yours. Most Gypsies are deeply rooted in their culture so if you're marrying into, you better adapt and overcome. I grew up in an Italian family; men have their role as provider, women have their role as wife, mother and housekeeper. They dress a certain way, celebrate holidays a certain way and eat mostly Italian meals. They also believe in bigger and blingier. I can so relate to how Gypsy families live.

[@mattneillninasmom]

These encampments have leaders who call the shots and direct the actions of the group. Townspeople must identify them and deal with them directly in order to establish a line of communication! As for Margaret and those like her, her case flies in the face of the claim of Travelers "taking care of their own." What happened to family ties and the communal caring they normally have for each other? 16 Rolls Royces for a funeral, but no funds for a Gypsy family with a single Mom and 7 children?

[@pkk639]

100% spot on. I suspect she's been offered accommodation, but I bet she wants more than 3 or 4 bedrooms and wants this mansion in her chosen area, so keeps turning them down. Mikey died doing something dangerous and stupid and put innocent road users' lives at risk doing an illegal activity, but all this is brushed under the carpet and ignored, and they make themselves the victims. No focus is put on the fact that travellers have the highest rate of Domestic Violence amongst any community of people or the high rate of sexual abuse of traveller children.

Maybe the RARE odd traveller is honest but not the majority. Shows like this glamorise the lifestyle, but you can't hide from facts. Even in this show, it demonstrates driving with no insurance or even a licence. Acting dangerous on roads and putting innocent animals and peoples lives in danger. You don't even have toilets in your caravans, hence why your kids sh*t in peoples porches, public lifts, on the street. The highest rate of domestic violence, the sexual abuse, lack of education etc etc. You say you respect your elders and look up to them, yet you all swear on your dead relatives' lives, which demonstrates you have no respect for them at all. I speak from first-hand experience of the travelling community. As for jealousy, yeah, everyday I wish I could get beaten up by my husband and spend all day cleaning a caravan and looking after 20 kids!!!

Oh. And P. S. All of these boroughs are having this problem on public lands that the council controls right?

Provide places for them to throw away their garbage? Yes there will always be a mess to clean up, but maybe it wouldn’t be as widespread and slightly less invasive to the neighborhood and residents. Something has to give. There has to be a solution. Either give up some parcels of land to accommodate their culture or continue to force them to stop wherever they can. At least implement a test of the feasibility in the most affected communities and go from there. Ugh. Smart people don’t see the obvious and overthink everything. Simplify your thinking process and think outside of your normal way of thinking because that’s obviously not working for you… I see the anger and frustration of both sides.

If so, it shouldn’t be for free. A minimal fee and rules/ guidelines should be set. Why should one group get free living and the rest pay. Theres going to be costs…….maintenance and needs. Maybe set up camp areas for travelers only. There needs to be responsibility set for the travelers to stay there.

[@SandymoorFerrariClub]

That's what we have lots of around where I live (North West England). In Halton we have a traveller site, which is a patch of land with some fields and very basic ameneties that travellers can set up by and use. As I understand it, because that site is there then by law a certain number of travellers have to be allowed to use it, and also by law any travellers trying to set up their home in any other locations in Halton have to move on. It seems to work very well, in that locals know they can't complain to anybody if travellers turn up at the traveller site, and travellers know they can't complain to anybody if they get kicked out of sites that aren't the traveller site.

I’ll never understand having children that you can’t afford. My husband and I both work and it’s not easy to give our one son everything we want to. I can’t imagine being delusional enough to think I could provide for seven by myself. I’m honestly shocked that she still has custody of her kids. I know that sounds harsh but my biological mother placed me for adoption because of her young age and financial difficulties and that’s the most selfless thing she could have done so I probably see it a little differently.

I was thinking about that as well. Other commenters have said what great housekeepers they are. Maybe if they were as diligent about the space they parked on it might not be such a problem. I don’t think I would want them around either if they don’t treat the space with respect.

So in the USA we have rv camps that are set up for these little campers. They can pay by the day/week/month. With showers, restrooms, laundry and even swimming pools. Fairly cheap depending on the area. Around my city for as little as 12 dollars a night with sewer and water. Dose the UK not have anything like that? Someone could make a killing doing something like the KOA we have here.

[@spongemonkeysooz]

I always wanted to run away and join the gypsies 😍The corner bar in the old neighborhood had a room rented out for wedding parties and while I, as a child, sat at the bar drinking Shirley Temples I longed to go where the gypsies were dancing and playing music in their colorful clothes...but I only was able to peek in occasionally. When the patriarch of the family came out and asked what I wanted to drink I said I loved the cherries 🍒 in the drink but they only put 1 or 2.The dear man ordered me a drink "filled with cherries" because cherries were the spice of life. All that and a bag of chips 😋 Every Halloween I was a gypsy in my admiration of them. And cherries are still my favorite. This was over 60 years ago, isn't it funny what stays with you? I'd like to think I have some gypsy blood too 🙏🏼💞🛐 🤗 💃🏻

QUESTION : Are there trailer parks/RV parks in the UK? If so, could the travelers just nomadically travel between those locations?

[@nessagirl1911]

I've always wondered why no traveller ever bought a plot of land and set up a site there.

[@GGMCreates]

There are RV parks, but from the ones I've seen in videos, they likely wouldn't be able to accommodate large groups, and there wouldn't be enough in an area to rotate between to keep kids in schools.
