Taken from my local rag, seems Basildon Council have finally taken their fingers out and have decided to evict non-travellers from illegal sites they have occupied for years. Now it seems a bunch of yoghurt knitters have decided that this is their next subject to shout about. The 'local man' mentioned in the article is Len Gridley, who's property backs onto the site and has had to put up with typical traveller antics for years, in the TV program Big Fat Gypsy Eviction death threats were made to him, Police have taken no action.

Google Dale Farm for the full story, prepare for your urine to hit 100 degrees celcius.

Surely the whole point about being a traveller is to travel. In which case the council are doing these lovely people a favour and helping to preserve their 'culture'. smile

All as expected.

........the travelling community is a part of our heritage.....
I mean, Stonehenge, ruined castles, stately homes, old mine workings, industiral stuff = heritage.

A bunch of thieving inbred fkwits pitching up & turning the local area into a sthole. Heritage? FFS, pull the other one.

No one is stopping them traveling, they just need to park somewhere considerate, and legal, and stop taking the piss. If they were lovely folk, who were tidy, and weren't a bother, there wouldn't be an issue, I reckon. However, they aren't

ditto some will and are genuine I just wonder how many have chosen this life style as an alternative to living in socity paying taxes or following rules
some seem to live very well for an opressed minority, do very well out of buying plots and getting retrospective planning permisson selling and moving on

I'd imagine the supermarket owners in the surrounding area will be battening down their hatches.

I saw on the news that the lovely law abiding citizens will be using violence against the bailiffs to stay in their "travelling" brick houses....

Out of interest, how can it cost that much to shove a few lovely, salt of the earth type folk off some land? confused Surely a few thousand pounds tops to employ some heavies for an evening?

£18m would buy a lot of petrol and matches.
