Peaky Blinders Fans Have A Dark Theory About The Curse On Tommy's Family

Fans will remember that Tommy’s daughter, Ruby, is dangerously sick in hospital – with Tommy fearing she may be the victim of a curse as she keeps repeating Romani words: “Tickna mora o'beng.”

You can watch these scenes below.

And one savvy viewer believes that the so-called curse has a link to Tommy’s political allegiances.

Taking to Reddit’s r/PeakyBlinders thread, one person wrote: “I think the gypsy curse put on Ruby has something to do with fascism. Pretty much anytime time he makes a fascist speech, Ruby becomes sicker.”

Tommy has been tightly linked to fascists in more recent episodes: he’s embroiled with the British and Irish fascists to undermine their goal of installing a fascist leader in Britain, part of an intricate plan to to avenge Polly’s murder, make millions and earn his escape.

The Shelbys have also been afflicted by a ‘gypsy curse’ before – Grace Shelby was wearing sapphire jewellery that was thought to be cursed by a gypsy before she was shot and killed in season three.

However, there’s another theory doing the rounds – Tommy himself is seriously ill.

After episode two of season six aired on Sunday night, viewers expressed concern, having watched Tommy suffering from a seizure in the bathroom.

While Tommy may have simply come down with a bug, or be suffering from his PTSD, some fans are theorising that the Shelby family leader might be more sick than he's letting on.

Discussing the situation on Reddit, one viewer asked: "Anyone else think Tommy may have a brain tumour?"
