Travellers

[Jimmy Grimble]

They ruin the greens at Hollingbury golf course when they send their flid childen out on their mini-moped things.

Having had to deal with the shits at school and in local pubs I can say with conviction that they are all, seemingly without exception a bunch of c**ts. They leave a mess, show absolutely no regard for their temporary neighbours and make little or no effort to control their feral, jug eared little failed abortions of children.

Sorry, i'm generally liberal but I have had too man bad experiences with the Diddy Coy and would be more than happy if we shipped them all out to their own little island where they can fight, inbreed and tarmac each others drives to their hearts content.

The Police removed 60 tv's from them on Friday, following complaints that they had boxed up old and broken tv's and were selling them "cheap" to Saps who thought they were getting a bargain!

There is a an unofficial camp near about a mile or two from here. A traveller bought it as farm land and since then it has now become a camp even though it's not supposed to be. The local council have and continue to challenge the occupants. Whilst nobody can say whether they are making a mess or not (because it's a no go zone) the local crime rate has shot up. Of course that could just be a coincidence. It's little wonder that they are so despised, whist some are decent a lot are anything but. What annoys me is that they want all public services they hardly pay a penny in any form of tax.

I know someone who used to have a contract with the City Council to clear up travellers' sites when they were vacated. He certainly never made "thousands" out of this work.

And, as Durlston says, some occupations of land are relatively tidy.

I'm sure you would welcome them with open arms should they pitch up in the delightful village of Firle, say the cricket ground?

Theres a load more in a field just before the traffic lights at the bottom of Coldean land, opposite Stanmer Park, they get everywhere

What about the barriers that they angle ground to get access ? you know the ones put there to stop them getting in ?
they will have to be dug out, new bought are re cemented back in, you don't get all that for a few £100.
And of course the green areas to be re seeded.
Its not just rubbish clearance.

"Saps" that is a very old derogatory term

I think you will find Firle have there own way of protesting about travellers

The barriers at Hollingdean / Hollingbury golf course area have never been closed in the 3 years that they've been sitting there ??

The law only seems to be applied/upheld against the generally law abiding folk. If we decided to pitch up a tent or caravan in wild park ,preston park or whereever we would be moved within hours and fined.... now change that scenario to travellers and pikeys you can guarantee they won't be touched for weeks because of the civil rights with no chance of recompense being charged for all the crap they leave behind...

 

[SICKASAGULL]

Whether they are make a mess or not is not the point, THEY ARE TRESPASSERS,and should be treated as such.The reason that they are a regular problem is due to the lack of action by the council,as soon as a number of them are gathered they should be dealt with,also they have a number of sites which are used over and over again,these sites could be made much more difficult to gain access to.
If their vehicles were checked for road tax and valid MOT certificates and towed away I am sure they would become less of a problem in the future

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

They've been stopping at Hollingbury for as long as I can remember. Went to primary school there in the 90's and they were always in the field. Probably enjoying a good view of Falmer from up there now!

And looking on all of that lovely steel, I foresee a few bits ending up down the scrapyard!!!

Is it? I thought it was a reference to young trees.
