This paper argues that the distinct and important contribution that immigrant Po¬lish Roma have made to the development of general Roma/Gypsy/Traveller Politics in the United Kingdom is partly explicable in terms of the cultural capital they have brought with them from Poland. They have introduced a new style of cultural po¬litics and community organisation which has been emulated by Roma/Gypsy/Traveller organisations from other communities, and has strengthened the possibilities of common action, underpinned by a new kind of diverse and tolerant pan-Romani consciousness embodied in the UK’s Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month in June each year.
