The Politics Thread

[Worthy4England]

how does that law define "not educated properly" - I'm skeptical that such a narrow law exists...

Go look it up then.

I looked it up. there is no such law.

You looked in the wrong place.

I looked in the Bumper Big book of UK Law (I haven't consulted the Bumper Big Book of UK Imaginary Law yet - someone else has signed it out of the library...)

I suspect you're looking for the wrong Law. Looking for "The Not Educated Properly Act" won't find it. Someone educated properly would know that.

any news on exactly how near your particular property(ies), the gypsies haul up on a regular basis?

Use the photographic evidence I already attached previously?

So THAT'S where you live Worthy! You could probably have seen my team train / play friendlies there farily recently

I probably have, yes.

[boltonboris]

And for what it's worth, I live about 500 yards from where Worthy took that photgraph from.

The gypsies 'took over' for well over a month and were a feckin' nuisance. They've decimated a very nice childrens pitch whilst ragging their Range Rovers about for weeks

Actually I might stand on the sidelines one game and shout things like "Bloody Robbo is quicker than that" everytime you go for the ball.

sorry! missed that photo on account of it being the last on the page and me being a numpty!

It's too late.. We only used it for pre-season, so nerr..

You probably would've been right though

Think the Yew Tree use it during the season, and some children on a Sunday...

[malcd1]

Only had one proposed 'solution' so far...

Worthy advocates taking their children into care... For their own good, obviously...

I've asked mummy twice what he thinks the solution is to the 'gypsy problem' with, uncharacteristically, no response, though he's active in pursuing the problem...

So, first off, we take the children away, and then... what do we do with the parents?

I'm not active in pursuing the problem... I'm just lightly discussing the fact that I think there might be one. Nor do I think it's the most pressing issue facing society, before somebody reels off a list of all the bigger things we have to worry about.

Anyway, I don't have a 'solution' other than to say they should be encouraged to stay in one place with an address that means they can pay tax and send their kids to school.

And that is where your argument falls down.

Photo taken from my front window. See the rocks? Just the other side of them. The rocks went there in the last month after they were shifted on. There's another encampment just across the road - so comfortably less than 100 yards.

They are not quaint Romany Gypsies in little wooden caravans. They're dirty scally bastards.

I reckon your photo and mine - put side-by-side - offer some insight.

my photo - close to where I live (not as close as yours - so points to you!) - but close enough - is of an official site set aside by the Borough Council.

your photo is of a place NOT set aside for this purpose - and so used illegally.

my photo shows a site that has amenities (sewage/water etc) - yours (obviously) doesn't.

the site near me gives no more trouble/crime than the ordinary housing estates nearby in South Ockendon or Cranham - there is no ongoing public outcry - there are not stories in the local press about how awful it all is.

the site near you obviously is a HUGE problem to those who live nearby.

I don't think it is going too far to suggest that if councils lived up to their pledges/promises/commitments to set aside space - appropriately located and properly serviced with the basic services - then there would be a whole lot less need/desire/motivation for travelers to roll up on car-parks and school fields and local bits of green-space.

My guess is (contrary to what mummy suggests) - that there is no shortage at all of redundant edge-of-town, out-of-the way brownfield sites that could very easily be set aside for this purpose for a fraction of the cost that the current policy of endlessly repeated mass bailiff evictions and subsequent cleanup.

If councils lived up to their commitments in this regard - then I would be 100% alongside you (or maybe slightly behind you as you are scarier than me!) in bulldozing them off illegal sites personally.

But as the situation currently is - evicting a load of travelers from half of the Basildon site (which was an unsightly scrapyard - not an ancient piece of British woodland) will just result in them rolling up on a local school field or car park - in which case - who benefits? Less official sites = more people rolling up on your doorstep.

Just arrest them for being little scrotey scumfuckers and be done with it.

Only if they've knocked a fecking big hole in the back wall of the Yew Tree
