Poetry Update

Businessman is arrested in front of wife and son... for �anti-gipsy� email that he didn�t even write | Mail Online: "A wealthy businessman was arrested at home in front of his wife and young son over an email which council officials deemed ‘offensive’ to gipsies – but which he had not even written.

The email, concerning a planning appeal by a gipsy, included the phrase: ‘It’s the 'do as you likey' attitude that I am against.’

Council staff believed the email was offensive because ‘likey’ rhymes with the derogatory term ‘pikey’."

Another faux pas by the PC police.

I thought it was "gypsy."
