Group arrived at my local park today. Police have now moved them on but not before they’ve left faeces, rubbish, damaged fence (cut through wires) and knocked down height restrictor to gain access last night.

Tossers. And they wonder why people loath ‘em. If not deserving of labels such as scum, why damage a community asset in such fashion? Obviously nobody walked their dog there today!

As everyone knows except Lloyd Russell-Moyle it seems

Unlike you to cherry pick and topic and start a thread on negatives that relate to travelers, race, refugees etc...

I had a discussion with a friend last weekend about these scoundrels that he used to have to deal with when he worked for a council.

We noted that we had both done plenty of travelling in our lives and had wild camped in many places. I have even pitched up in front of the church in Alfriston and was cooked a lovely breakfast by one of the residents!

The difference is that our ethos was always “leave no trace”, whereas - as others have said - the types that turn up in our city every year in their caravans leave a multi-thousand pound clear up behind them every time. Apparently, they also often enter into “discussions” with enforcement officers carrying knives and making personal threats. It’s no wonder they’re not welcome.

Aside of who started the thread, and their penchant for attacking other sections of society, I agree that many travelers in Brighton have long been a menace to local residents.

It worries me for the groups you describe who should be left alone to live their lives.

Its the "hen or the egg" thing. If people in general would have called me and my whole family shit since long before I was born I would very likely not give a **** about keeping neat and clean around these people who hate me.

Poor analogy. Just because you’re born in a stable, it does not make one a horse. Our Lord Jesus for example... :)

Fury as travellers set up home on Woodingdean burial site

A GROUP of travellers have been branded “vile” after setting up camp at a cemetery.

The unauthorised encampment of van dwellers has sparked public outrage after taking up residence at the Lawn Memorial Cemetery in Warren Road, Woodingdean.

The group of nine caravans arrived at the 37-acre lawn memorial, which has specialist areas set aside for Muslims, Quakers and other denominations, on Saturday afternoon.

They had been moved on from Stanmer Park.

The site is covered by a public space protection order (PSPO) which prevents the land being occupied by any vehicle, caravan, tent or other structure.

The order also prohibits driving any vehicle on the grass there, littering or fly-tipping, lighting a fire and defecating or urinating.

Residents took to Facebook to show their disgust, branding the travellers “disrespectful”.

One resident, who did not wish to be named, said: “When will you be moving on the caravans parked outside Woodingdean Lawn Memorials?

"I was told they were being moved on yesterday but they’re still there today, riding their quad bikes in and around a cemetery - one that my dad is buried in. Absolutely vile."

Another added: "I find this very disrespectful as have loved ones buried there."

Police have attended the site but nine caravans remain.

Travellers were moved on from the same site in 2015.

Be interesting to see if Mr Russell-Moyle will be so defensive of his Traveller friends on this one...

Armed police should attend and give them 10 minutes to move out or they will be needing the ground themselves. They are scum
