So would the 40 or so people now be "travelling" elsewhere? No mention of gypsies or travellers in the report.
They won't mention it will they, they never do. It's 'racist'.

Their choice of picture says it all though.

The only site that would report on a story with full details was stormfront, (now shut down). Says a lot when you have to go to a site set up by a white supremacist to find out what is going on in your own country.

This was brought up whilst in the pub over the festive period. Two people mentioned similar things regarding the lack of Police involvement around the gypsy problem.

One was a local farmer, had his tractor stolen and had information as to its whereabouts (a local traveller site), took himself down to have a nose and could see it from the boundary. He phoned the Police to let them know, they asked "how do you know its yours", to which he replied "I've just bloody seen it". They were not interested. He ended up going into the site himself and was told he could have it back for £5k, which he paid.

Another was a similar situation but with friend of a friends caravan. Again, the Police were informed where it was, but did refused to investigate. They never got it back.

Its now reached the ludicrous elephant in the room syndrome
these travellers actually do think they are persecuted like jews and well meaning liberal toadies agree with them
until its called out for what it is then it will continue
Police are intimidated by them. Politicians are too scared to say it as it is
Joe Public and local council tax payers get stted on

Reminds me of the various child grooming gangs that kept going for so long as no one in a position of authority wanted to look racist.

You know things are bad when even Butlins don’t want your holiday custom.

I suspect that the BiB would have been interested had the victims called the police a useless bunch of cowardly s or similar (not I hasten to add that I think that most coppers are!)

His house has wheels.
