Apparently eleven caravans have moved to an area in the private road not covered by the original judgement. Basildon council will have to start a new legal process. Made me laugh out loud. Go on the travellers!

No, Basildon Council are monitoring the situation. I very much doubt there is any possibility they will be able to remain on the roadside and that will then likely become a police matter so in theory then they risk arrest.

Would you be saying that if they moved next door to you? I think not! Surely it will just be a case of sending in the police to move them on or failing that shoot on sight as I'm sure that would deter any other pikeys thinking of joining them.

what's funny about a buch of lawless immoral cynical people forcing a council yet again to use public money to enforce the law. That's money the taxpayers and rate payers of Basildon have paid. Hopefully the High Court will this time award costs against the "Travellers", something they should have done from the outset.
Great neighbours.

Fish, barrel, shooting. My thread is a bit of mischievous fun but coincidentally what I actually believe.

You can try and do something about it. You don't even need to go and live in a tent in front of an old Church:

Basildon only have themselves to blame. They had all the travellers in one site and could have come to a deal backed up with closer regulation of the site. Instead they chose to go with the most expensive solution possible with the risk of creating more problems over a wider area which could go on endlessly.
Pragmatism over principle would have been a far more effective approach in this case. I have worked with travellers fairly regularly for many years and despite the real problems in these communities I don't despise them like many do. For those saying that I wouldn't have my opinion if I had travellers living next door to me I say this. Now that we've moved loads of them on from a stable site they might just turn up on your doorstep. Perhaps SupaBlue could start a dialogue and invite them in from their pitch in his back garden for sunday lunch.

They're not the smartest bunch of people are they? Yes, let's move back and live in squalor which will only make ourself's ill and our standard even lower which will give a worse image to the press. The traveller on the BBC said they'd been offered no-where to go. Erm, what about the houses that were offered that you turned down? Jog on and don't come back.

Large % just moved on to legal site after initial eviction anyway.
Local residents are making official complaints about mounds of earth that Basildon council have left to stop travellers returning to original site as they are an 'eye sore'. Would they rather have travellers back?!

Make the travellers pay for it to be properly landscaped. That's the least they could do after what they've done to the local people. :thumbsup:

Basildon isn't to blame. The wretched thieving pikey scum broke the law - they are to blame. You're not being mischievous, or amusing, you're just being a ****.

You didn't answer Supa when he mentioned them moving close to you, so go on then ...

As I say i've regularly dealt with travellers in my work and do not have a problem with them. In this case it is not as if the residents who live around dale farm no longer have to live next door to travellers as half of them are still there.
The eviction did not clear the entire site and the relations between the remaining travellers and the local residents will now be even worse. Added to this the area now looks like a bomb site or and we've spent £18 million quid.
Apart from satisfying the general feeling of hatred towards travellers and enforcing planning laws that are widely regarded as a joke what else has actually been achieved?

If they had not moved them they woud have set a dangerous precedent that would allow anyone to build anything on any land they owned.
You didnt reply to my "why dont you join them" question.

You must learn that your 'them' and 'us' approach to life isn't healthy. Just because someone is culturally different from me or holds different views doesn't mean that I have to hate them. Just try to think like this for a couple of minutes, I guarantee you'll feel less hateful and genuinely happier.
I don't even hate you steveo, although I do pity you and see myself as superior to you.

For 'culturally different' read thieving *******s and it's perfectly OK to hate them. They are playing this card to justify criminality and you're foolishly buying into this ****. They are just thieving Mick tinkers, not some downtrodden minority deprived of their liberties. If you are sufficiently naive to believe what you say, then you really aren't superior to anyone, let alone a robust chap like steveo. Except maybe a thieving pikey.
steveo

In your opinion.
Me neither. However if they continually steal and break the law then I do dislike them. There are plenty of other people culturally different from me who I dont hate - why should I?
Why pity me? You dont know me at all. And in what way are you superior? Harder working? Better Father? Better at Tiddlywinks? Maybe its your admiration for tax dogers? Or is it simply your belief that eveyone should have everything they want and not have to pay anything for it.
