That's a pretty nice little earner. Now, if they could only stop them from simply getting more horses once the ones removed are all in Tesco lasagne...

    Blimey! No wonder we're in the deep stuff if that's what they're paying.

    Far be it from me to cast aspersions, but one wonders if this could be a nice little earner for our travelling friends? Set up a legit company to bid for the work, then as they have a limitless supply of mistreated horses, let them out at regular intervals, resulting in much work for the company set up to collect them, and dispose of them for free. £££ all round!!!

    What I thought too. £1.35 Million pounds of taxpayers money donated to pikeys, sickening.

    btw Pikeys tarmacked and moved onto a field in Essex near Dale Farm on Saturday (DM)

    "Blimey! No wonder we're in the deep stuff if that's what they're paying."

    So much for 'the terrible Tory cuts', eh?

    "...one wonders if this could be a nice little earner for our travelling friends?"

    I'm sure we can trust the councils to have thought of this.

    Can't we?
