Surely this sort of violent threatening behavior is illegal? I am pretty sure if I did it my collar would be felt sharpish.

Any clues about what you're on about?
Watch Can't Pay, We'll Take It Away and you'll see this is fairly normal behaviour for bailiffs and high court enforcement officers to deal with. The police are often called out as back up but rarely is anyone arrested.

Isn't there a SpecSavers near to you?
AOG you made me laugh lol

hc is correct, the fact this is a minority roup is irrelevant. Many people behave like that when faced with bailiffs etc
Allowed? They were made to go.

As stated above watch the documentaries, Bailiffs encounter all sorts of situations like this daily from people in all walks of life.

The behaviour stinks, but often things get heated.
ANOTHEOLDGIT yes there is. Are you wanting to get your rose-tinted glasses checked?

I have only one pair and I captured them from the enemy.

I was saving them in case they are worth anything, but since becoming a member of AnswerBank I have found out they are as common as muck.
YMF - because collectively we as a society dont have the cajones to stand up to the intimidation offered by these freeloading thieving scumbags. The accent is Irish, and I know for a fact that they dont get away with this sort of behaviour in Ireland. So we put up with it because we fear for censure on the "human rights" grounds. Use mega-force against them and intimidate them as opposed to them intimidating us all the time.
So they weren't moved on as the article says?

HC, I am aware of people getting uppity when the bailifs come round to take their stuff but this is just a set of people being moved on. I must admit I have never seen Can't Pay, We'll Take It Away , do they swing baseball bats at the bailiffs?

THECORBYLOON, please dont try and derail threads, there is far too much of that at the moment with individuals attempting to effectively close a thread they dont like but have no argument.
Can't understand why the police weren't called really. The bailiffs shouldn't have to put up with that !
On Can't Pay a travelling community threw bricks at the EOs, threatened them and the police did attend. I think that stand off lasted a few hours too.

But no arrests HC ?
Yes I recall that one hc, the Police did attend.

Often they are called in if the Bailiffs feel they are needed, but on this occasion with a team of 10 presumably they felt able to cope - and did.

Not an easy job.
No arrests but I haven't seen the police arrest one when they've been called by either the EOs or the debtors, as they are nearly every episode.
There is little doubt that “travellers” (a remarkable number of whom seem to want to do anything but travel) conduct themselves in a way the rest of the population (even if they are being evicted) do not. I do watch “Can’t pay..” occasionally. The evictions there often become heated (understandably) but none that I have seen has become violent apart from one (which must be the same episode as mentioned by hc). Even when the eviction involves large numbers of squatters, no violence ensues. But the “travellers” are different. Usual rules do not apply in this and many other dealings they have with the authorities. (I know this from some of the work that I do which I am not going into here). They are always in large numbers and violence against anybody they see as “the authorities” is a first resort. They have little respect for the law and are a considerable drain on society
