First of all, I never said ALL 'chavs' were paedophiles anyway.
Secondly, on that link it says the definition of chav is "the lower class; uneducated and ignorant people". The people I'm describing are all of those things, so I don't see why it should be anything to do with Romany children.
ssshhhhhhhhhhhhh.......
