No one will be homeless just a place to park their home and be legal....

I feel the men kept a low profile as,,,,,women and children being evicted would gain scorn on the whole situation,

Yes fences were broken down illegally as they were the property of the legal land owners who bought the land in the first place..

I wonder if they will all pool their cash and try to buy all the land ?,,,,and then do it right from the begining, ,cash dont seem a problem as some of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding was filmed from Dale Farm..

I think the land should be sold on to pay for the legal costs personally. x

what is gonna happen to all the caravans and where will they be stored
i think they should be sold with the contents to foot the legal bills

Not me but it does not surprise. Last night on Newsnight Jeremy Paxman had the MP for Basildon and a spokeswoman form U.N. (strange I detected a southern irish accent) and she talked over them constantly.
Interference with their traditional way of life - (I thought that was travelling - not static). Would not accept the M.P.s statement that they had been offered brick housing or empty sites elsewhere in the country - neither of which they would accept and that for 10 years the Council had been trying to find a solution. She was insisting it was racist. M.P. pointed out that if it had been a single or smaller group of non-travellers they would have been off a lot sooner - that it was a planning law not racial.

they all want to stay together
so they can continue to bully the local residents no doubt
but on the bad side
they could be coming to a bit of grass near any of us at any time
i doubt they will be coming here up north
as the weathers always cold for most of them

dam mess they make is discusting
if they showed respect for the locals
and kept the place tidy and stopped stealing
anything thats not nailed down
most people would say live and let live

They,re here because the Irish Goverment are glad to see the back of them.There was some talk a few weeks ago that these "Travelers?????? offered to go if Basildon Council paid them about £6million. also I think that as they have houses in Ireland Basildo Council should get a Legal charge on them to help cover the costs so far incured.**M**.

i hope the two protesters concreted in the barrel
get the trots real soon
i say leave them there in there own mess

but i am not totaly heartless tosses them a peg

I wondered that also Joy!!!

I suppose they could always toss them in a pond or river and let the water dilute the concrete might take a while but at least they would get a good wash,(Unless of course the `water was too deep. :-S :-D

i would roll them in merlin

I reckon they are all choked that total news coverage is on Libya and not them :-D

They may well come to some grass near any one of us BUT, because of this ruling, they will not be able to stay there for a very long time and then claim they need to live there permanently.

Rita, I saw that program you mentioned, the houses were all large as well and looked very nice.

I dont know why they dont live in them

Teresa

I did'nt see the programme but I heard about it, the irish goverment should sieze the houses like the councils can over here if they have not been lived in for a long time.
