seems a way to be untouchable for any sort of behavior,

I already have a shiny blingy van all I need now is a ruddy big twin axle caravan and i'm all set to do as I please.

would a pair of french bulldogs count as "dags"?

You'll need someone to knock most of your teeth out first as well

You cannot do if alone. The important thing is to be part of an infestation. The whole point, as I see it, is that the criminal actions, although clear to all to see, cannot be pinned down to any one individual. So, no prosecution is possible.

Given his username, I reckon he's probably halfway there already

Why are not joint enterprise laws used against them?

For exactly the same reason that 99.99% (or more) of other laws are not used against them. The only one which is is the occasional eviction notice, and I don't even know whether that's based in law or is simply a civil process?

In a lovely rural churchyard where people have to abide by strict rules on headstones some who have had an "exceptional life" can have this.

Probably decided that it wasn't worth the agro to turn this down?

To be fair the report describes him as a proper Roma, the horse drawn wooden caravan sort, not a 30 foot white monstrosity towed by an untaxed tipper Transit sort, the former group are rare and no trouble,it's the other 99% giving them a bad name.
The gravestone still sounds a bit tacky though,and unlikely to be in keeping with the setting.

Some travelers arrived in our village a few weeks ago, parked up on grass verges.
They got into the local playing field, moved on, concrete blocks installed.
They then got on to a piece of land in the village - having messed up the playing field completely - at which point local MP Nadine Dorries got involved by telling everyone they had the powers to move them on and celebrating (via twitter) when they did move.
They had gone a couple of hundred yards up the road and are still there.

For a community of "travelers" they show a remarkable reluctance to fking travel.

You're in marston then ?

That's right.

We've had them again recently too. What's going on? They've usually ferked orf back to the emerald isle by now. Is this in fact the effect of more people jumping on the bandwagon caravan, thereby turning it into an all-year sport?

Surely that must constitute cast iron evidence of threatening behaviour?

Over to you local Constabulary.



Too busy chasing Private Eye readers I guess.....

Still stands as far as I know.

Their only option in the dashcam evidence will probably be to nick the driver for driving too quick in the car park. Travellers are above the law remember. They can do as the likey.

We all say this, over and over, with varying degrees of levity, but it is extremely difficult not to conclude that this is almost entirely true. And nobody in authority ever denies it.
