Ireland?

Perhaps, Helen, they could join the human race like the rest of us.

[youngmafbog]

Do you ever look past the obvious redhelen?

To clarify I think you will find d9 is saying that they can abide by the laws of the land pay taxes and partake in the community in which they wish to live amongst.

And he does have a very valid point.

[flip_flop]

How big is your garden redhelen?

[LoftyLottie]

The Irish don't want them any more than we do.

I have no time for people who scrounge off the community without contributing whoever the are and I know enough about travellers to say that the vast majority fall into this catagory.

Perhaps Vanessa Redgrave has a bit of land they could use.

[sinderella]

there are two types of people.
those who dont like em and those who dont have any nearby

[LoftyLottie]

Very true!! It's very easy to be tolerant from a distance and if it doesn't affect you. It has affected me and I have experienced and seen enough to know what the vast majority are like. Let them have an uninhabited island somewhere. Give them planning permission on that Island and leave them to fend for themselves without any help whatsoever from anyone outside their community.

It seems a few of them owned property in Ireland they could go there and their friends could park on their land. I dont really have a beef with them but they are not travellers as they stay in one place . If they want to be permanent residents then they should be abiding by the law of the land and paying council tax income tax etc.and adhering to planning rules.

[d9f1c7]

Lottie, there is no shortage of land that's not the issue, they need to find somewhere near people so they can Theive and Con their existance.

[emmie]

LL is right, Ireland doesn't want them either, why is it these people can break laws with impunity, yet a couple who cleared a grass verge up the side of their house were sent a nasty letter from their local authority to tell them to put it back as it was, which was an overgrown mess. Seems to me there are laws and there are laws, if they pay tax, insurance, work for a living then perhaps some people wouldn't be so against them.

[Brenden]

Don,t suppose they have to go on the housing list and wait their turn - makes me sick, they are "travellers" so let them travel.

The point I was trying to make was that they should be put somewhere where they have no opportunity to thieve and sponge of the state - they simply couldn't exist.

If they were not made to obey the laws of the land every field in Britain would have a caravan/s parked there. The Green belt would end up a mockery.
