Dale farm evictions "may breach human rights"

[Holy Joe]

They have a place to go now as well - the church is allowing people to camp outside St Pauls.

"So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen Goodbye.

One of the "spokesmen" for the non-travelling travellers could be heard on the BBC saying that it's all kicking off at 8:30am tomorrow. I'll have the popcorn ready.

The very best of luck to the bailiffs. I rather fear they're going to need it.

 

[canveyshrimper]

The bailiffs should (but won't) go in around 3am, that way they'll catch soap dodging students and plummy voiced anarchists still festering in their pits, sleeping off the effects of half of cider.

Seems to be warming up nicely for some action. Police including riot Police there in force. The human in me says I hope it all goes off peacefully despite the fact that these pikey law-breaking scum have had it coming and deserve everything that's coming their way today. 18 mill eh? Worth every penny. Just feel sorry for the farmers or villages whose lives are just about to change.

Yeah, I agree. Interestingly, saw someone from Harlow council interviewed yesterday who said that they've ordered trenches to be dug all around their "open" spaces to prevent any vans pitching up on their land. Seems pretty sensible precaution to take, wonder how many others have thought of it?

I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier unless someone else did on this epic thread. Why not move them all to Jaywick. Went there a few years back after 25 years and was shocked at how run down it had become. It was never fantastic but there was a community and properties were looked after. It's perfect. It is at the arse end of nowhere. They can't dessecrate the area much more than it already is and I'm guessing property is so cheap that they are hardly going to devalue prices for the few that remain.

I shall no doubt Google Jaywick and find it has had a multimillion revamp. Must be plenty of other similar places. I believe next door to Napster would be ideal.

The coverage of this in the national press has been quite disgustingly pro pikey. No mention of the human rights of the law abiding citizens bordering onto the site. :thumbdown:

Did you not see Secret Millionaire? Jesus I'd rather live in Baghdad.

It was fascinating listening on the way to work (stuck in traffic caused by delays on the A127...)to 5Live this morning covering the eviction.......thought the BBC were fairly even handed really and the pro traveller or travellers really didnt come across well. They failed to come up with any justifiable reason why they shouldnt be evicted. They act with impunity, without care of consequences or racking up a huge legal bill, potentially defamatory statements on air this morning, throwing bricks at police - one lady they were interviewing who hoped Tony Ball died before Christmas, was trying to justify the attacks on the police becuase they didnt come through the entrance they normally do, and was moaning that someone had been injured - all whilst explaining to the interviewer that she was holding a bowl of petrol but hadnt decided what she would do with it yet.....

Absolutely no sympathy from me. I can understand the human instinct in self interest but they have broken the law and the law is now being enforced.

Sadly, there are already enough gypsies in my village.

 

[Funky Kong]

A complete bunch of ***** tying themselves to scaffolding and in many cases without climbing gear. ****ing joke. Can see it now, the whole ****ing thing collapses - people are injured and the eviction is stopped due to safety fears.

Talks of these stubborn ***** organising an emergency junction is ****ing embarrassing.

 

[ian_the_girth]

Where are the male travellers while this is going on? Not seen a TV to view.
Assuming those holding up the eviction are the yoghurt knitting, great unwashed, tax & soap dodging, scum breeding scum type?!

I say if they dont **** off by 5pm, shoot any one that shouldnt be there. Anyone got a problem with this attitude?!

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

if a couple of silly boys can get 4 years for "inciting a riot" on facebook, how long should the protesters and travellers who are ignoring a high court order, using threatening behaviour and resisting the police get. It could solve their accommodation needs for the next 20 years hopefully.
BTW I'm going to write to Richard Howitt to advise him he is unfit to be an MEP and has failed lamentably to represent the vast majority of his law abiding constituents by his silly comments over the last few weeks. His latest quote on the BBC website says "Labour MEP Richard Howitt said: "The smoke above Dale Farm is the most visible sign of the failure of Basildon Council to seek a mediated solution." " Good grief this man is an elected representative. I'm speechless.

I checked the BBC News website earlier, and saw a comment about the underhand tactics of the police, apparently they entered the site by the simple expedient of knocking an undefended back fence down, rather than go through the heavily fortified front entrance.

Finally the electricity has been cut off to the site, how the **** they got utilities in the first place is beyond me. By all accounts the cutting of the leccy may cause the untimely demise of one of the inert travellers who was apparently wired to the mains.

I bet they don't pay their electric bill, this country makes me sick sometimes.

Just shoot the ***** & then run them over.

no one took the bait on post 834 but keep saying it and someone might, patience.....
