Has anyone ever had a run in with Irish gypsy travellers?

I knew you were going to say that.
Worked there a few years ago, and an ideal pikey stop over.

I live adjacent to Cheshunt FC training pitch and about 10 years ago 15-20 caravans
moved in over a period of an hour. The police had been tracking them and a police car sat there and watched them pile in through the gate which led to the pitch. My neighbour is in the the Met and he suggested to them, after the first 2 or 3, that they could use the police car to block the entrance but they chose not to.
We had 5 days of hell; excrement thrown over walls into gardens; fights in local pubs; young kids in the park getting pushed off bikes, before an injunction was used to move them. They left a destroyed pitch, they used motorbikes to plough it up, piles of rubbish and excrement everywhere.
I have always been a tolerant sort and would have viewed a story like this as a possible exaggeration but what I saw really shocked me. All access points to open spaces have very strong gates and barriers around here now.

Buy a string of crow scarers, delay length starter (say 5-6 hours), pop them in a machine bucket just out of reach, light up on the way home and wait for them to go off every half hour commencing at say midnight. A full string should last 8-10 hours. Should keep the squirrel mucnhers awake wondering if someone is have pot a shot at them!
Have fun.

Viz was reprimanded by the United Nations after running this, but during the resulting court case, The Sun ran a story revealing that the principal Roma man who initiated the action against them was in fact also being tried for (and was later found guilty of) handling stolen property.
ha ha ha !! couldnt resist this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Viz then later ran a short strip called "The Nice, Honest Gypsies", featuring a kindly Gypsy woman selling pegs door-to-door and helpfully returning forgotten change.

Roll the dice!
They will probably move to the park now.

Whilst you could never condone Hitler's ideas you have to say he might have had a point when it comes to Gipsies. However, Gipsies go to great length to point out the differences between them and 'Travellers'. Personally I'm far from convinced. Not far from here some Gipsies brought some farm land (there's no way they could ever built on it as it's Green Belt). Of course they have parked mobile homes on it and I gather the council have been trying to shift them for years.
I'm sure it's pure coincidence but since they've been here the crime rate has shot up.

If me or you parked up on someones property then we would be moved on very quickly,yet for some reason the police will not take action against travellers despite the fact that they are plainly trespassing.We are paying more and more for Council Tax yet can get no protection.

Are you saying you think he was right to gas them?
Probably produces too much carbon to be environmentally acceptable nowadays - he'd have to find something 'greener'!

Forgetting anything that happened in snatch, I've heard a couple of horror stories about people fighting with gypsies. Just remember that they can disappear at any time, while they now know where you work. They've probably got just as many cousins to call as well.

We had pikeys in our car park at work a month ago. They were going round checking the locks on all the parked cars. Several items were reported stolen to the police. The kids were sent out collecting sponsorship money for a non event and purchased two x-boxes with the proceeds , paid entirely with £1 coins. After 2 days they were moved on by pug ugly bailiffs who turned up in force.

Did I actually say that ? I hope that you don't fall off your PC high horse.
