Eviction time for the gypsies at Dale Farm

[FlyingJesus]

they aint doing anything wrong.

Yes they are

[DPS]

Yes they are

Well imo they aint.

Evading tax and costing councils thousands in policing, peacekeeping, and eventually eviction isn't anything wrong? Not to mention all the other crime and aggression that's associated with travellers

[Catzsy]

If there is evidence that they are harrassing the neighbours and being generally extremely anti social then I feel they should go the same as anybody else who is evicted for this. I know there is quite a bit of negative stereotyping as far as gypsys/travellers etc but there is also a genuine reason why it happens with what some do. Also there seemed to be a complete disregard of the planning regulations which we all have to abide by. Only problem is that somebody else will have to put up with them if they are evicted.

Send in Brainiac.

I don't understand why they were allowed to settle there in the first place.

[Smits]

Go in with a tank, destroy the place and kick them all out. They've had enough time to leave, but chose not to, should have happened a long time ago!

They weren't :L - Travellers just turn up one day and that's that, in this case they've bought the land it seems which is something at least but it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with the land.

Why not remove them immediately?

Why not remove them immediately?

Various issues such as court orders and appeals processes I imagine. Plus the permanant structures which require the planning permission wouldn't of appeared as soon as the travellers did.

It's much the same story as people who've had their homes taken over by squatters. To many laws that help scum like this.
