Talking of New Age travellers I see that Swampy died a few weeks back.

He had a heart condition but refused a bypass.

I’d hazard a guess this could be our travelling friends

I wonder if they used a Hippo Bag to lift it.

Just for a change we’ve got a few scamps on Baiter, mid Jan is unusual.

Oddly enough a post popped up on my FB feed from 'spotted in bournemouth' that vans were being targeted around Baiter and for locals to be aware, obviously this is pure coincidence

It appears that a large family of members of the Greater Ireland Canine Appreciation Society has traveled a little further afield for a holiday, all the way to New Zealand.

They are, naturally, playing the victim card in true tarte-clé fashion. I'm actually quite impressed that one family can so spectacularly ps off an entire country in the space of two weeks.

The fat knacker of a son, or maybe he's the dad to the sprogs, certainly has the look. And the common tactics, not paying for food due to some complaint, it's a way of life, not to mention instant resorts to physical threats even from ankle biters. Imagine the lols if hypothetically they arrived on a deportation flight and were stopped at UK airport and ultimately sent off back to Oireland.


There's a local lot, the son looks just like that, virtually every vehicle that attends their residence, including the tree / landscaping Transit specials are some combination of no tax, no current test, even the triumvirate of no insurance too in some cases

From most posters I'd automatically challenge that, but for you FiF, I assume you personally have been running these checks

Well the situation was, shall we say, drawn to my attention. Like you I wondered if it was the usual anti traveller scuttlebutt, though I do know both father and son have spent time inside for fraud and violence offences. Indeed the first check on a Merc showed up all ok. Since then have only found one more vehicle that's legal, about twenty others, based there or regular callers, not one taxed. So the original informant was pretty much bang on.

Yep, a couple done over this way the last couple of nights... tools nicked.

It's worth a watch. A family of Travellers 'visiting' NZ. They turned the place inside out. Scammed businesses, drink driving, threats. Served deportation notice and arrested . They thought they were just unruly tourists.

Listen to the pint sized kid. Being brought up like a fine citizen.

Too funny. Bloody scum

Lot of high value thefts in my area recently, one item being my £26k mini digger that the Police "didn't have the resources" to investigate. My assumptions were right though, looks like our loveable friends are involved.

If you're not from Swansea, Neath or Port Talbot, these dick heads could be coming to a town near you:-

Seems they didn't realise that some countries still have law and order...

They combined a 'holiday' with scamming a few elderly people out of money(for work on their houses) as well. Australia just had a family there doing much the same.

The mail with pictures.
I often wonder if the Māori were met with similar in your face hostility from the lower orders on the discovery before belting them with a club
thus kicking off further incidents.

Shame there wasn't any Maori security around.
Do Maori work as security?

Why wouldn't they?

In one of the articles I saw, they interviewed a Maori chap who was keen to catch up with the family and have a wee talk about their behaviour. Think he missed them though.

Quite surprising you can pay cash for flights these days too

Amazing to hear a politician speak his mind too. So not all politicians in the world are as spineless as our lot.

Goff is as spineless as they come. That statement from him is quite out of character!

The immigration guys are Polynesian. Pacific Islanders are naturally tall and heavy built.
