I found this.... Gorger ( with a variant of Gadjo pronounced Gajjo) means non-gypsy in the Romani language. It seems to be from Gazar (Gujjar) who migrated from central Asia into the Sub-continent and were known for their ferocity. Over a period of time they settled, started agriculture and livestock.

Gorga is Gypsy slang, gorger and is just anyone who is not a Romany Gypsy.

I can have a stab at it if Gary wants to elaborate on why and where the justice system has failed.

@Gaz-exRMwasn’t it yourself who not long ago posted about chucking it in as you was struggling for work? If so and your now booked up for 3 years that’s some turn around. 

 

Im struggling to comprehend why you would give a shit about anyone else being in this sector and making a crust regardless of professionalism or lack of if you have 3 years work on your books!! Surely you have enough on your plate?

Gorga isn't actually just slang. Romani originally came out of what is now rajistan in India. The language is still pretty similar apparently. Gorga comes from gora in Hindi/Gujarati/etc. Which meens not Indian. But it's a bit racist like. 

Edit cuz it didn't make sense

Maybe I’m going mad or confusing you with someone else? still why do you care about others in the trade if your so booked up?

 

I mean think of it another way, you weren’t a consideration for the job initially and if a firm turned up and done the job no problems it would have been one less you where paid on.

I care about legitimate arborists making an honest living and scumbags not being allowed to. Is that clear enough for you ?

I’d like to see scum like this rid of.
