Around 27 mobile homes parked up at Oakgrove School in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, on Friday evening. They broke open the gate locks and refused entreaties to move on.
So far, so ho hum...
After a weekend of liaising with the local authority, the headteacher was forced to order the school's 2,000 pupils to study from home yesterday as the premises was deemed 'not safe'.
Then at around 4pm, a volley of police cars swooped on the site, with officers carrying helmets and batons to compel the illegal encampment to move on.
Although most caravans left without protest, two men were arrested by police - who attended the area with specially trained dogs, The Sun reports.
Wow!
One man led away by police is alleged to have threatened a photographer hours earlier, saying: 'If you put my picture in the papers, I’ll find you. It’s a small world.'
Lovely people. Who wouldn't want them near them?
TVP's spokesman added: 'Our operation to remove an illegal encampment has concluded with a number of arrests and vehicles seized.'
Conservative MP for Milton Keynes North, Ben Everitt said: 'This is completely unacceptable, children should not lose a school day because they can't access their site.
'It's disruptive to their education, but it's also disruptive to parents and local businesses.
'I'm pleased that the police took it really seriously.'
Me too, Ben, me too. But mostly I'm pleasantly surprised, and that doesn't happen often these days...

Well done for commenting on a positive story that contradicts your usual narrative about the police. Too much of our media, mainstream and social, consists of people selecting stories to fit their line. The problem with that is — people discern it and give less credence. Hence so many “empty intellectual calories” in our daily reading.
Let's hope the new Prime Minister will initiate trespassing becoming a criminal offence, as it is in Pikey Homeland. Only then will it stop these Caravan Utilising Nomadic TravellerS blighting the lives of others. However, wokeness rules, so it seems unlikely.

So was a politician or policeman's child that attended the school. Paying the nanny for an extra day was never going to be allowed to stand and the full force of the law was brought to bear.
Two men were arrested? Christ on a bike. Why weren't all the caravans and vehicles seized, and the whole fuckin' regiment of bastards put on a boat to Ireland?
So they CAN do something if they want to.......more proof (if any were needed) that the police are a law unto themselves, they enforce the law only when they choose to. We might as well not have Parliament passing laws, the police ignore them if they don't like them anyway.
Remind me again, how do I vote the police out?
Great news! I notice our council have put up barriers in the entrance to the most often invaded park near me. Sadly they didn't bother to extend the fence or anything so the invaders will just drive around them next time. Nice try but no cigar so to speak.
"Well done for commenting on a positive story that contradicts your usual narrative about the police. "
When there's something positive, I do. It's just that bad news sells better, I guess. The alternative is...problematic.
"Let's hope the new Prime Minister will ..."
Ha ha ha ha! Oh, good one!
"Two men were arrested? Christ on a bike. Why weren't all the caravans and vehicles seized..."
I'm sure they were all checked for MoTs and insurance.. 🙄
"So they CAN do something if they want to....."
Or when someone has the right connections...😉
"Sadly they didn't bother to extend the fence or anything so the invaders will just drive around them next time."
