Yes, James, they do it EVERY BANK HOLIDAY.
The Conservative MP yesterday was seen walking in the field near the site and posted a video on Facebook to demand that action be taken. 'This is why we have got to take action to make sure that building work like this, taking place outside office hours, clearly seeking to game the system, that we are able to take decisive and quick action,' he said.
How many years did the 'Coneervatives' spend in power? And never once did anything about this.
'Because the local community here knows that this is going to be disruptive to them, and anyone who has tried to get a builder to start work after hours on a Friday on a bank holiday weekend will know that there's something not right about this.'
No, there isn't, but it's as regular as the first bluebell of spring.
It came just hours after Mr Cleverly suggested there was 'two-tier justice' when it came to applying rules and laws to travellers.
There is. Undoubtedly
There had been criticism ahead of the weekend that the district council took no preemptive measures, such as placing what is known as an Article 4 Direction, which bans any usually permitted development such as putting up fences, on the land, after it heard of the plan to concrete the field. Others said it could have tried to obtain an emergency injunction banning any development, so if work started it would be a criminal offence.
And what would the police have done? Nothing. The need to gear up like a military force to raid these encampments, and they are too terrified of the accusations of 'racism' to act.
An insider, who has assisted the traveller community in winning retrospective planning permission, said the recent wave of development was in part caused by some travellers renting out part or all of their sites to migrants and homeless people, a phenomenon recently reported on by the Daily Mail.
Nice try, but painting them as philanthropists isn't going to work. We all know what they are. Even the failed MPs who are trying to pretend they don't,

So, if the council had advance knowledge of the plan to lay down concrete, and did nothing, it either shows an amazing level of incompetence, or a general level of contempt for the taxpayers. The other possibility is that someone in authority supports the travellers, or has taken bribes to allow this to happen (wouldn't be the first time).
Despite outcries, these people will continue to take advantage of local authorities, unless planning legislation changes.

" the recent wave of development was in part caused by some travellers renting out part or all of their sites to migrants and homeless people"
Part of me wants this to be true, because I think the p*k*ys might have bitten off a bit more than they can chew if they let the diversity into their camps. The p*k*ys talk tough, but the diversity carry cold steel and tend to use it liberally.
