a) Confiscate their non towing motors
b) move them on instantly
c) sell sell afore mentioned motors to cover the costs.
If all the UK councils then used those powers, pretty soon they'd have to join the human race or Foxtrot oscar out of the country. Don't tell me, kin oooman writes!

meet aggression with aggression..no compromise..only way imo... no sensible discussion works.. no reasonable dialogue..allowing them to settle results in months of paperwork..visits...and always with destruction of property and huge clean up bill..notwithstanding the trouble caused to local business etc...

Nice one, some beautiful parts I believe.

Apologies TTT for slight diversion.
Yes sorry Tora x
Talbot - "I'm still laughing at these hard travellers ... why hasn't there been more hard gypsy/traveller world boxing champions?"

Because as far as I'm aware you can't take weapons into a ring. The ones we're talking about are knackers...they don't fight fair.

TTT...while I agree with most of what you say, shouldn't it be Foxtrot Uniform ?
Foxtrot Unicorn more like Mikey. :))
“They are treated like pariahs because they are pariahs.

“They have been driven from Ireland whence they emanate because of their thieving and filthy ways.

“They contribute nothing to society in the way of taxes etc and create filth wherever they go.

Like most people I have little time for them, but nor do I like other groups, like religious nutters who ring the doorbell when I'm having Sunday lunch and the louts who make town centres unsafe or even no go areas at night on weekends....there are many groups that we would be "better off" without, but that's just life. The Swiss had a fix for Gypsies - for many decades until 1972 they hunted down the children and removed them permanently, placing them into institutions of one sort or another - it didn't seem to work....

Nb. History may well despise those many millions of us who for generations were and are slaves to the "factory buzzer" going into vast sheds without protest from dawn to dusk and in winter never seeing daylight until the weekend - like something from HG Wells....
I think it's a safe bet that history will treat gypsies more favourably.
There was a gypsy site in FOD many years ago. Set up by the council with toilet block and all amenities. It didn't last long, totally vandalised. Eventually they left.
About 18 months ago they came back. They got a JCB and removed huge rocks that was blocking a site across the valley from my house. They moved in. The mess was horrendous. The powers that be got them evicted.
They have come back again. The site was blocked off again to prevent them getting in but they have managed to get on again. I have to look on this every day. They pay no rent or council tax. Why should they get away with this?
Why should they get away with this?

They shouldn't be, Caran.
I wish people would stop referring to these anti-social low-lives as Gypsies. Gypsies are Romanies. To confuse the two is an insult to the Romany community.
Thank you Naomi that was what I was trying to say earlier, you can't just lump everyone who travels about in a caravan under the same unfortunate banner. x
I have a caravan !
I think we all agree that romanies /gypsies are a whole different race to those that we are moaning about... there are quite a few in my area that overwinter with landowners permission in exchange for a bit of help..nice folk that can't be more charming and obliging... I used to look forward to a family coming to my town when at primary school as the wee girl was one of my good friends, her and her brother would come to tea often whilst in the area...their parents called round to thank us for being friends..kids can be cruel but I loved their caravans..a big shiny modern one as well as a traditional one and of course their horses..I thought they were so glamorous!

wish I'd met some like that mm. They are rare.
No they really arent rare Tora, that's what some of us are trying to say, lots of people are for the most part confusing all the differing groups of travelling people and lumping them all in with what would colloquially be called in Ireland 'Knackers'- who are a thoroughly horrible lot by and large.
Question Author
anyway we seem to have established that there are are a few decent ones and a lot of lowlife filthy thieving scum but no one seems to have addressed the actual question above, why do the government not solve this problem with the simple obvious measures outline in the OP?
