Traveller Movement fury as Big Fat Gypsy Wedding complaint “thrown out” by Ofcom

From the Travellers' Times

THE TV regulator; Ofcom, has finally announced that it has thrown out the two Traveller Movement complaints about ‘Big Fat Gypsy Weddings’ after a 14 month investigation. The Traveller Movement has reacted in fury to Ofcom’s “absurd” decision about the controversial Ch4 ‘Gypsy’ series, which has been dogged by controversy and protests since the day it first aired, yet has been watched by blockbuster audiences, including many Gypsies and Travellers.

The TM complaint was pushed through by David Enright, working for free on behalf of the TM. David Enright, who works for the law firm Howe and Co, won the Law Society’s Solicitor of the Year award for his work on the successful TM complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority which upheld two complaints about the notorious “Bigger, Fatter, Gypsier” billboards that advertised the second series of the hit Channel 4 show.
