We'll see what it brings.<br /><br /><i>"The "Travellers" will lose, but I've been impressed by the determined fight they have put up."</i> <br /><br />Don't be. A major part of it was financed with your tax money. Which wouldn't be available to you, should you find yourself in the same situation.<br /><br />Nor, should you assault a bailiff in front of them, would the police hold off from hauling you off to chokey.JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-40370113571383843182011-09-22T22:03:25.168+01:002011-09-22T22:03:25.168+01:00The law is not sacred.

It has often been changed by people defying it.<br /><br />As far as I know, I have never personally suffered at the hands of a gypsy/traveller.<br /><br />I have however been harrassed many times by people who get paid to pursue their holy rule book.<br /><br />I own my home, but it's modest. So I don't need to persecute my neighbours to maintain its cash value. (Some of them probably think that I lower the tone round here, but I was here first.)<br /><br />I mildly resent ALL those who live on benefits, not just those in a particular group.<br /><br />The "Travellers" will lose, but I've been impressed by the determined fight they have put up.<br /><br />I seem to be in a very small minority among the blog company I keep, but I have enjoyed this drama. <br /><br />I'm not expecting anyone to agree with me. :-)Zaphodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695819392577629492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-51926297367456900172011-09-22T14:31:11.199+01:002011-09-22T14:31:11.199+01:00No!

Madeleine has perfect grasp of English.<br /><br />She sits and smirks and says I type this drivel and I get paid a whole bunch of cash.<br /><br />But, hey... thinking of the North West, how about the Guardian pissing off back to Manchester? True it's not St Helen's but you can always try Salford for the quality of life and chattering parties.Salford Ladnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-30318125379671491362011-09-22T12:31:46.199+01:002011-09-22T12:31:46.199+01:00Madeleine doesn't seem have to grasped the Eng...Madeleine doesn't seem have to grasped the English language. The people on Dale Farm are called "Travellers" (one of the terms used). That implies that they travel. Being tied to one spot is anathema to them. So travelling to the next county or a few counties away doesn't make much difference. If they have made roots and got their kids in local schools and don't want to move then that's their problem to sort out - using legal methods.<br /><br />All the campaigners on the side of Dale Farm never talk about the legal part of it. The part that is unoccupied. The part that has homes on it ready for use.SadButMadLadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836368722377421009noreply@blogger.com
