£70,000 'wasted' on telling pupils Elvis was a gypsy

Ha! this is just the latest tip of the iceberg. Check out the National Lottery fund allocation website. 16.9.2005. £229,989 a three year grant to produce a 'Travellers' magazine (issued free) to Travellers, social workers, police etc.
It will be interesting to see the next allocation in September should it transpire. May 2008 grant from 'The department of children, schools and families' £330,000 to create a national Gypsy & Traveller web portal. In this country Travellers have always faced prejudice but on the whole, they thrive and remain an insular society by choice. The majority have little or no knowledge of these people or the 'cause' they present in their name. Seems to me its yet another example of the 'politically correct' gravy train.
