And this is why we need measures like the new trespass-with-vehicles criminal offence so groups like this can be dealt with, rather than allowing them to ruin the environment and safety of others’ home towns.
Stand off ? Bolt cutters and a tow truck would have it all solved rather quickly.
It’s such a difficult issue. The travellers themselves would like to be free to roam yet nobody wants them setting up near them because of the local issues they create. I wonder if there are any examples of a peaceful coexistence in this country and what setup that looks like? I don’t see myself as xenophobic at all, indeed I try to be the opposite but wherever travellers set up in my experience near here, all the hallmarks of a nearby traveller community occur. Increased fly tipping, vandalism and destruction of the site they’ve taken over, and general anti social behaviour. I’ve heard a hypothesis that local scrotes start doing more burglaries etc when travellers are in town because they know they’ll take the heat for it. I’m glad I’m not responsible for sorting any of it out that’s for sure.
They wonder why no one wants to live near them… It’s a serious problem with one real solution, separate them all from each other and reeducate them to live in our society. Social Work, Health Work, Education, it’s expensive…
However the state likes to keep use fearful and make us think the police are necessary so that will never happen; This isn’t a problem they want to fix.
> Local homeowners say they have been verbally abused, had things thrown at their cars and have even seen incidents of fighting. There have also been reports of cars “racing” up and down the roads, while others have had vehicles “dumped” in front of their homes. Angry neighbours say loud chainsaws and late night bonfires have further kept them up at night. Worcester News visited the site and noticed large amounts of rubbish had been strewn across the estate.
I’ve never understood how the British tolerate this nonsense. People living in caravans and trashing the joint shouldn’t be a protected characteristic.
