Pikey????

March 8, 2017 Published by: RF

Students of the university of Reading stages a „Pikey“ night. The term refers to Gypsy and Travellers and is exceedingly derogatory.
After protests, the students apologised.
A bit late in our opinion. They certainly would not have staged a “N..” night, so why about Rroma?

Many of thé families of these victims cannot afford the yearly fee and thus according to German customs, the graves would have been removed 25 years after the death of the person.
Good that those who survived the holocaust can rest in peace.
