Dale Farm travellers

Basildon council are correct in saying that planning regulations have been broken, and they are also correct in saying that there cannot be one law for one, and a different law for another, and it seems to most people that they have followed all the correct legal channels.

But Basildon council are guilty of failing to offer any form of alternative site for these travellers, even though possible, alternative sites were offered and put forward with the help of Richard Howitt, an MEP for the East Of England, the council clearly couldent give a damn where these people go.

The United Kingdom will be seen all accross Europe as a brutal, uncaring police style state on the front covers of newspapers, and on tv screens tonight and tomorrow, no doubt we will come in for some quite heavy, but deserved criticism.

In a normal situation, when a family is made homeless or evicted, the council MUST offer alternative accomodation, but because these people are travellers, that rule does not apply, quite simply a case of discrimination.

I can see the argument that placing caravans, trailers, mobile homes on plots of land without proper permission is not acceptable, but it dosent stop there, if we were a decent, civilised country, we would make every effort to find an alternative and acceptable site somewhere else, especialy considering there are children, elderly people and people with health issues.

Shame on this country

A different tune might be played by someone finding a clutch of caravans suddenly appear opposite their home.

Good!!


If this keeps half the begging shyte out then it's done the job

(If Witchy and Astra could get the SAME benefits in their country as they do in ours then I would say a level playing field and well enough)

Most manning the barricades wasn't travellers, (if you can still call them that)but the usual rent a mob and anachists. Instead of the riot police going in first, it should have been the bulldozers, flattened anything that came in front of them. If anyone needs to get hurt it's those trouble makers, not the police, or any other innocent person who is just obeying the law. No one is above the law, even if you don't like the law, you can't just pick and choose what law you are going to abide by. They had there days in court and failed, now they need to leave peacefully, there is no wonder most of the population dislikes them and their attitudes.

It's probably safe to assume that the Authorities have no intention of creating martyrs.

Why are these people called travellers, when surely they should be called settlers?

I wonder how many of those NIMBY protesters would sing a different tune if they moved outside their or their parents property?

Why are so many of those protesters wearing masks?

Sorry my good friend Witchfinder but I think you are wrong.
If (and I am glad he did not) Hitler had won won world war 2 these so called travellers would not exist.

" I say, old boy - can you direct me to Pease Pottage...?"

What in God's name is "pease pottage?"

It's a secret code word..........................................

Sometimes confused with Pease Pudding

Sorry for the discombobulation....

Perhaps the name of this village between Bromley and Sevenoaks in Kent (described as "often the butt of jokes") is even more unusual than Pease Pottage:-

Maybe these mobile Asbo-zones could be directed to the Gloucestershire villages of Upper Slaughter and Lower Slaughter for processing.

The Norfolk villages of Little Snoring and Great Snoring


The nagging machine beside me did have a comment!

I hope everyone bought their tickets for the Trafalgar Meal. It's only £20 for a three course meal and a licensed bar. Hurry, because tickets are going fast! I have my plane seat booked and will be heading to Pratt's Bottom this weekend!

To be totally authentic, a Trafalgar Meal should be ship's biscuit (remember to tap out the weevils first) pickled pork, and green-slimed water cut with a tot of rum.

I am attracted to the name of Chipping Sodbury and am sorely tempted to visit the Conservative Club there...

THEY'RE HERE!!!!!!

Dale Farm travellers set up camp in Great Park

The nice thing about it all has been to discover that sometimes there are those worse off than oneself.
