I find it absolutely appalling the travellers, or gyspies were given a reprieve from being evicted from their site in Essex.
For too long these communities have taken advantage of this country’s fear of upsetting them, successfully seeking what they want through fear factor, or the Government’s insistence to abide by the Human Rights laws which continually threaten to undermine this country and hand criminals power.
The High Court may have cause more damage with this ruling, and no doubt will add to the £15million bill to the taxpayer.
The travellers, well I say travellers. Surely the whole point of a traveller is they continually move on, not stay in one site?
They have broken the law, so they should be moved.
If everybody had a disregard for the law of the land then we would be living in anarchy.
And we saw what happened in last month’s riots when there was total disregard for law.
If they are allowed to get away with this then that is the green light for any individual, group or company to go ahead and build on Green Belt land whenever they feel like it.
I, like many others have seen on countless occasions the problems travellers cause and the mess they leave behind.
I, like many hard-working, law-abiding, tax-paying people would like to see the Government carry out the threat and evict them, as promised, and show that these communities cannot just do as they please.
If they don’t then I genuinely fear what could happen in the future as it means laws mean absolutely nothing.
