British Taxpayer-Financed Propaganda Claims Elvis Was a Gypsy

July 10

It's nice to see that some of the exorbitant tax burden imposed in Britain helps to finance educating the public:

Ministers were accused last night of wasting tax-payers' money on a magazine for pupils which claims that Elvis Presley was a gypsy.

The publication, which also claims that film legends Charlie Chaplin and Rita Hayworth came from gypsy backgrounds, was given a £70,000 handout.

It was produced as part of Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month and an estimated 23,000 copies were distributed to classrooms to boost the inclusion of gypsy children in schools.

Traditionally living as vagabonds and petty criminals, Gypsies are much revered by moonbats. Next British taxpayers will learn that Gypsies invented penicillin and were first to reach the moon.

The evidence.

The contemporary concept of the underclass is a sanitized term for what was known in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as the undeserving poor

The usage came into wide circulation in the early 1980s

as a group who do not "assimilate

he passive poor, usually long term welfare recipients;

the hostile street criminal, drop-outs, low class prostitutes, and drug addicts;

the hustlers, dependent on the underground economy, but rarely involved in violent crime;

the traumatised drunks, drifters, homeless bag ladies, and released mental patients.

Karl Marx referred to a group he called the lumpenproletariat. He described this group as

decayed roués, vagabonds, discharged soldiers, discharged jailbirds, escaped galley slaves, swindlers, mountebanks, lazzaroni, pickpockets, tricksters, gamblers, brothel keepers, tinkers, beggars, the dangerous class, the social scum, that passively rotting mass thrown off by the lowest layers of the old society.

As I walked down the busy footpath, knowing I was late for an important meeting, my eye fell upon one of those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are found in every city these days.

Wearing what can only be describes as rags, carrying every worldly possession in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person’ s condition.

Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them.

Recalling some long ago Sunday School admonition to “care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked,” I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person.

Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a hidden beauty.

A small voice inside my head called out,

“Reach out, reach out!”

…So I did.

My court case has been set for the end of this month.
