Just how do you get away with dumping 60 tons of rubbish in a nature reserve ?

I can't get my head around doing something like that. You'd have thought that a community such as theirs which has virtually universal bad feelings towards it would be doing all they could to try and repair their reputation.

I've got no time for them.

Because we are an offshore rubbish tip for the world

A group of Irish travellers up here have been playing cat and mouse with the local council and recently turned up in some fields next to a play park near my house.

The next day huge piles of rubbish appeared strewn around the playing fields and thrown into a stream. The park is a 2 minute drive to the nearest tip so God knows why they felt the need to dump it in an area regularly used by children. Not the way to endear yourselves to the local population!

No doubt the Police were there to oversee the eviction by council officials, why not larger numbers of coppers and arrest ALL the travellers, and confiscate their vehicles in the short term?

Have worked in a couple of small stores in Patcham (Co-op, and a Newsagents) whilst back from University in the past. Had nothing but bad experiences from them, the amount of stuff stolen from small local businesses was alarming, including the old Starns store in Patcham being done over while a 70 year old lady was in charge.

Somehow I don't think they give a shit what the rest of the world thinks.

Unfortunately, I think you're spot on.

We should designate more places they can legally stay,

How about Ireland? I don't want the ****ers within 100 miles of me thanks.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Make trespass illegal, like it is in Ireland, and prosecute the feckers.

This.

See how their travelling instincts fare when they're closed in by four walls and a roof.

If we keep convicting them, they will have zero respect for the land.

We should designate more places they can legally stay, with the law changed so they can be moved on more easily where they can cause damage to public or environmental spaces.

they will park where they want until, as mentioned above, we make trespassing illegal and prosecute them

Behave
