Why Is This Being Allowed To Happen?

[youngmafbog]

Surely if they broke into the site they have committed a criminal act and should be arrested?

But no, these 'special' people are allowed to break the law with impunity while the rest of us risk getting a fine for dropping an apple core.

Something needs to be done in this country.

no idea why these parasites appear to be above the law.

Nowhere to gaol them all.

You dont need to jail all of them.

As with anything if you take a tough stance word gets round. Once a few Mercs have been repossessed they wont do it.

I'd lay you odds none of the evhicles are taxed/tested/insured - so why are they just allowed to drive around with impunity when you or I would be ANPR'd and clamped?

[youngmafbog]

Same as uninsured drivers are not pulled up in Bradford (UK No 1 uninsured postcode) I guess.

Plod are afraid of being accused of racism or some such similar slur.

They seem to be able to get away with breaking the law. When they invaded Skegness over 20 years ago the police seemed powerless to intervene. The town just closed down. We were afraid to go into town, it was dreadful.

The argument against impounding vehicles when they are illegally 'camped' is that it would give them an excuse not to leave ...

... so follow them until they are in the back end of nowhere and then impound all the nice Mercs and Beemers - but that's too simple (and too much like hard work) ...

A theory I have had for a few years is that if the Travellers' vehicles were impounded it may make them homeless and they would then become the responsiblity of the Local Authority, housing, schools, etc. Much easier to let them move on and become someone elses problem...

Absolutely shocking - decent, hard working people having their lives and business hi-jacked in this way and nothing can be done !! Not right.
