    Default Eviction time for the gypsies at Dale Farm

    Anarchists hijack the travellers' last stand: Fears of bloody confrontation as bailiffs get set to bulldoze Europe's largest illegal campsite

    • 50 anarchists have already joined travellers at Dale Farm in Crays Hill, Essex

As the High Court yesterday gave the go-ahead for the camp at Crays Hill, Essex, to be closed down, the travellers were already digging in for a war of attrition.

    The gypsies may love Dale Farm, but residents at Dale Farm certainly don't love them

An Essex police source said: ‘Up to 2,000 people from 30 different groups could turn up, according to intelligence from a number of sources including social networking websites. ‘The residents of Dale Farm won’t be able to control these groups. Some are getting worried about that. There is anxiety that they have created a monster they cannot control. I think some people will come to Dale Farm who will be intent on violence.’
    This is excellent news, although how sad that nowadays law-breaking such as this can be allowed to go on under the guise of 'Human Rights' (a direct consquence of our membership of the European Union). Vanessa Redgrave, like most left wingers of course, doesn't have to live next to these people - the residents of Dale Farm do along with the crime that comes with it. I remember the Home and Bargains I know by my Grandads - they told us they had to hire extra security guards because the gypsies (or to use the PC term, 'travellers') kept coming in in big groups robbing the place.

    Goodluck to the Police tonight along with the residents.

    Thoughts? are the bleeding hearts on here going to come to the defence of these thugs?

    I agree with it.
    If they had planning permission, owned the lands and paid the taxation due to their local council's I'd be all for them settling and enjoying their new home.
    It annoys me that the travelling community can represent an added strain to local councils (rubbish collections, safety, sanitation, education) without any prior warning or any return in most cases.

    I fully agree in "Britain" we should be allowed to live as we want within a fair reason.
    Everyone to enjoy their enviroment but within our out-laid rules.

    Stop using the term gypsies, stop being so biased and open your mind more.

    I'll consider using traveller instead of gypsy when they start travelling, until then i'll use the the non-PC term.

    It's the same as blacks, they have spent ages trying to reform people's perception because of a bad few and selective press.

    No thanks, I think here is a clear example of the kind of people we are dealing with, don't you?

    Like Vanessa, I think you should cut the luvvie terms out and think about whether you would like to live with this for years on end.

    I'm sorry to hear for your suffering, it's not my fault if your family/neighbours are gypsies cos by your terms you have suffered which is why you're being a tad harsh?

    I'm simply stating if there was 2k of travellers, I assume at most 10% are the trouble.
    Probably the same as most council estates.

    Shall we get a fence, cordon them in and just raize them to the ground?

    No, its quite simply really - we should send in the Police instantly and give them half an hour to move out. If they fail to comply, anyone who refuses to move from land which they do not own nor have ever owned will be arrested. I would also charge the lot of them for the cleanup.

    As for the 10%, is that why they are all staying put and refusing to move then? 90% of them law abiding citizens - ha!

    They're standing up for what you believe in, being a fellow pariah of open-minded discussion and belief I'm sure you could sympathise with their (in some way diluded) belief?

    For instance, I'm a believer that gays should be allowed to adopt. I shant, I don't agree with it personally as I don't think it offers the right oppurtunities because I'm not sure how it would affect a child's life depending on the stage of youth they are. I'm gay. It doesn't make me right or wrong?

    Stop being so blinkered.

    It's completely ridiculous to refer to them as "travellers" when they build permanent structures without planning permission and have no intention of moving. After researching the issue I'm yet to see anything suggesting "gypsy" is a derogatory way of describing them and therefore offensive. It seems one day, some Roma people got offended by it and in some circles it's now considered racist.

    I just hope there's adequate policing and the police don't get injured for quite simply, doing their job.

    £15m well spent for once
