good example of an old gripe. another lying, thieving,cheating gypo scam. take a look at this one.

Anyone interested in yet another long rant from me on this subject? Or have I already said and more then once all I need to say? Yeah. Guess I have.
This gets soooo old after a time. But the thing is, it keeps on coming. Has a life all its own.  For sheer hypocrisy and deviousness , this wins it’s own prize.
And the scummy slag doesn’t even have the courtesy to keep her phony sign in English with proper spelling.  Not that it would make any difference.  These ppl are and have always been about cheating,stealing and running scams.  Europe would have been so much better off had this group been eliminated.

Campaigner for gipsy rights ‘ran £2.6m benefit scam’

By Dan Newling and Stephen Wright

(a scam artist hard at work and it’s always race, isn’t it?)

A campaigner for Roma gipsies’ rights has been charged with helping scores of Romanians illegally claim millions in benefits.

Lavinia Olmazu, 30, and her boyfriend Alin Enachi, 29, are said to have masterminded a scam by which 172 Romanians claimed £2.6million.

Olmazu, who was arrested last week, was working as an ‘inclusivity outreach worker’ to Roma gipsies for both Haringey and Waltham Forest councils in North London.

The academic, who has campaigned for greater understanding of gipsy culture, is accused with Enachi of using a supposedly charitable organisation called Roma Concern to help coordinate the fraud.

The couple appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday alongside six gipsies, each of whom is alleged to have pocketed thousands of pounds from the scam.

Under rules introduced when Romania joined the EU in 2006, Romanian migrants cannot get a National Insurance number - which is the key to getting benefits - unless they can prove they have paid employment lined up.

Olmazu and her boyfriend are accused of giving unemployed Romanians false documentation which purported to offer them work. They are also said to have provided false invoices and references purportedly showing they were working.

Scores then used fraudulently obtained NI numbers to claim child benefit, working tax credit and child tax credit, the court heard.

The fraud was allegedly facilitated by Enachi, who attended Benefits Agency interviews with Romanians as a translator.

While the couple, who moved to Britain in 2007 and live in Woodford Green, Essex, were said to be living here legally, they appeared in court with six jobless Roma gipsies whom District Judge Nicholas Evans said had ‘no right to be here’.

Stelian Dumitru, 23, and his brothers Ardelean, 24, Daniel, 20, and Cristian, 29, appeared alongside Stelian’s girlfriend Leventica Vasile, 24, and Cristian’s girlfriend Paula Mihai, 29. They all live in council properties in Tottenham, North London.

Stelian and Vasile - who is a beggar - were said to have obtained £27,000 from the scam. Cristian, a Big Issue vendor, and his girlfriend - who have six children between the ages of nine months and 11 - allegedly obtained £36,000. Daniel, a father of two, is said to have obtained £12,515. Mr McCabe said:

RULES ON TRAVELLERS RESTRICT US, SAYS CITY COUNCIL

There is no link to the story that I could find, and so I am only copying the relevent things from the article.

It highlights, you might say, the problems posed by a people called Travelers.  I posted something on the subject yesterday, but this appeared in a local weekly paper today and concerns itself with news from our county, which is Hampshire. In terms of ID for those of you reading this in America, Hampshire could be thought of as a state. In actual fact though, in England it’s a shire. A large one and not a cheap one either.
The photo here is taken from the web and was taken in the eastern part of Hampshire called The Meon Valley.  A place of great beauty and many villages I could be happy in for a short time.  It really is a choice spot so I guess bad as they are, travelers have some amount of taste. Or at least appreciation for pretty countrysides.  (re the spelling. Travelers apparently is spelled two ways and both accepted. )

The headline read as follows:

RULES ON TRAVELLERS RESTRICT US, SAYS COUNCIL
Hampshire Chronicle
Feb. 25, 2010

SHORTFALLS in the law are hampering the city council’s ability to move on travellers, members have been told.
Winchester City Council viewed a list of all known camps in the district - legal or not - at a meeting last Thursday.

There were seven illegal plots that were all in The Meon Valley.
The city council is frustrated because it doesn’t have the appropreiate powers to deal with illegal sites. “It’s not because of inadequacies among the officers, but inadequacies in the law.

Vehicle stolen but kops can not retrieve it. Why? The curse of the Travelers.  Gypsies. RCOB!

Whatever name they go by they are a curse that the world would be well rid of.  Wherever they settle, bad times follow. Since the west decided that genocide is a no-no their numbers of course have increased.  Their numbers should be eliminated but nobody will do that, so I predict the problem will worsen with nothing constructive being done about this virus.

Time and time again these folks have caused major problems everywhere they go.  They are now declared a race and bad things said against them is, yeah. racism.  Woo-Fuckin-Hoo. I don’t much care what label the bleeding hearts attach to thoughts like mine. I merely react to the facts alone and the facts are, those ppl are a menace.  They are professional thieves, they overrun property that often isn’t theirs, and when it is, they very often do not have permission to build on or tear up areas of green belt.  But they do because firstly, they don’t give a damn, and secondly they are often allowed to get away with things the rest of the population wouldn’t dare.  But just saying that makes it a ‘racist’ statement.  Cool huh?  It’s win, win for them every time.

You might note that although they are active in some parts of the USA and we hear about em from time to time, in the USA they do not (as far as I know) pull the same stunts they do over here.  Gotta be a reason for that. Ya think?

Police tell car theft victim: ‘We’ve found your van… but it’s too dangerous to get it back from traveller camp’

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

When a market trader was told by police his stolen Mercedes van had been found, he was overjoyed.

But Christopher Sims was amazed when an officer said it had been located in a ‘no-go’ on a notorious travellers caravan site.

A police officer explained they were unable to retrieve his £1,000 vehicle - which had £1,000 worth of goods inside - because it would mean a major operation which would put officers’ lives at risk.

One officer accidentally let slip that the van is on a travellers site, The Willows, at Sandhurst, near Gloucester.

The father-of-three said: ‘She told me it is a very dangerous and volatile place for the police to go.

‘She said they would have to mount a huge operation with armed officers, dogs and helicopters and it would never be authorised by senior officers for the sake of a van worth £1,000 with another £1,000 worth of contents inside it.

‘I think it’s disgusting. It’s one law for them and one for us. I feel so frustrated and angry.’

Police rescue 15 gypsy children trafficked from a Romanian village to commit crime in Britain.

Yeah. What they said. Rescue. OK, Maybe so but authorities damn well know these ppl are known to raise and train children to do these things. They have been doing so for a few hundred years. Especially pick pockets.  This is not new.  It’s doubtful force is involved since they are raised in that culture.

Maybe that headline should read Police STOP 15 Gypo children.

Police rescue 15 gypsy children trafficked from a Romanian village to commit crime on Britain’s streets

By Daily Mail Reporter

Last updated at 12:06 PM on 23rd November 2009

Fifteen children were found at three homes today by police investigating an alleged child trafficking ring.
Police raided the addresses in Manchester following intelligence that youngsters were being moved out of a Romanian village into the UK.

Four women and two men, aged between 23 and 32, were being questioned by detectives after officers executed warrants in Gorton and Longsight.
The children, who were said to have been forced into committing low-level crimes, were now in the care of Manchester City Council’s children services, police said.

There is a large Roma community in the Gorton and Longsight areas of the city, estimated to be around 1,000 people.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: ‘Working with Manchester City Council, the aim of the operation was to identify and safeguard any children who may have been trafficked into Greater Manchester by Roma organised crime groups for exploitation and financial gain.

‘Operation Epee was also targeted at disrupting any organised crime groups at the heart of this exploitation.

‘Intelligence gathered from a number of sources, including the Metropolitan Police, the UK Borders Agency and the Romanian National Police, suggested that children were being trafficked out of the small Romanian village of Tandarei into the Greater Manchester area.

‘The intelligence indicated the trafficked children are at risk of being subject to cruelty by neglect and being forced to commit low-level crimes such as cashpoint distraction burglaries, pick- pocketing and begging.

TRAVELLERS ON THE MARCH AGAIN (in a manner of speaking) WITH NO WAY TO STOP THE CANCER

The European cancer marches on, as the “local authority seeks legal action.” Uh huh. Right. And we know where that leads. Don’t we? Sure we do.
And so do the Gypos/Travellers/Hobos or whatever other name you care to use. This is old and tiresome stuff to them.
There is ONE way to stop it all but I guess genocide is out of favor these days.

Travellers are trying to drive us off our land:
Horse lover tells of threats after her field is surrounded

By Liz Hull
Last updated at 8:15 AM on 23rd November 2009

Mrs Bowling has faced threats from the travellers since they moved in next to her plot. To Louise Bowling, it was the fulfilment of a life-long dream.

Photo: Jeff Morris

Having bought some land, surrounded by beautiful countryside, she now had space to rear her beloved horses.

But. just a few months after purchasing the 1.1 acre plot, Mrs Bowling’s dream is in tatters.

Earlier this month, the land surrounding her stables was sold to travellers who arrived under cover of darkness, poured 200 tons of concrete over the hillside and brought in their caravans and trucks.

They have since laid siege to Mrs Bowling’s plot, threatening to rape her, burn down her home and kill the animals unless she sells them her land at a knockdown price.

Last night, Mrs Bowling, 31, a part-time receptionist, said: ‘It’s been terrible. When the caravans and trucks rolled on with the concrete, it was the end of our world.

‘We saved up to buy the land - my husband went to war to pay for it - and it was going to be our nest egg for the future. It was an idyllic place for me to come and see the horses and enjoy the countryside.

‘The travellers want us to sell them our share, but when we said it was not for sale they started threatening us. They said they would burn our house and the stables down and kill the horses.

‘One of the men even threatened to rape me, it was disgusting. I’ve been so upset, I’ve not been eating or sleeping since they arrived.’

Mrs Bowling bought the land in Hardhorn, near Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, from owner Vincent Peake for £17,500, 14 months ago.

It was the middle plot of six lots, totalling eight acres, all designated as being for keeping horses on.
Mrs Bowling and her husband, Martin, 35, a former supplier with the RAF who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, spent a further £8,500 building stables and fertilising and fencing off the plot.

The couple, who have no children, moved their two horses into the stables and for more than a year enjoyed tending the plot and their animals. But, on November 3, Mrs Bowling was told the remaining five plots had been sold to a group of Irish travellers for £85,000.

On the evening of Friday, November 6, around 20 caravans and trucks rolled on to the site and, over 72 hours, tipped 200 tons of hardcore on to the land.

Officers from the local council arrived the day after and tried to issue a ‘stop notice’ to force the travellers to stop working on the site, but, they ignored it. The local authority are now seeking legal action against the travellers.

Police were also called but said they were powerless to help because no crime had been committed. Fearful her two horses would be harmed, Mrs Bowling, of Blackpool, moved them to other stables nearby.

She said they later offered to sell the travellers the land but were only offered £18,000, including the stables.

One of the travellers, Pat Collins, denied breaking the law and said they had applied for planning permission for their caravans. ‘We have put in for planning permission retrospectively and are waiting for it to come back,’ he said.

‘We have to have homes for our kids. We’ve saved our life savings for this land, we own it and have a right to be here.’

Mr Peake, a retired electrical engineer, claimed he did not mean to sell the land to travellers. An individual in Yorkshire acted on the travellers’ behalf and sold the land to them behind his back, he added.

Just amazing how far this culture will go to screw itself … don’t believe it?  Take a look.

I went to the Saturday Mail looking for a specific story I found in the hard copy edition, when I saw this latest bit of lunacy.

While I may not like what they do, that is travelers/gypsies, lets face it.  They are empowered by pandering, appeasing, frightened politically correct town councils.  Who , let us not forget, draw their pay from taxpayers which generally does not mean gypsies.  But somehow, it’s gypsies who seem to be served.

Perhaps I should not say this as I have no experience with European countries on this subject.  But I’ll say it anyway.
It’s only a guess but .... I think England is the ONLY country that will actually put up with this sort of thing without a fight.  They have become that intimidated
by the civil rights lobby.  That plus their own innate feelings of overboard fair play and willingness to bend over backwards.

Anger as council closes road so travellers can hold wake for ‘two weeks’
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 11:02 AM on 05th September 2009

A council has come under fire after it closed a road to allow a group of travellers to hold a wake.

A brazier fire is burning in the middle of a country lane so the dead person’s belongings can be destroyed in what is a traditional traveller ceremony that can last up to two weeks.
But local residents are angry that West Sussex County Council has shut Blackboy Lane in Fishbourne instead of asking the travellers to move their ceremony elsewhere.

Villager Bob Kerby, 63, told The Sun: ‘There’s one law for us and one for them. We pay our taxes and are entitled to have access to the road. It’s also an inconvenience for emergency services.’
The ceremony started - without the council’s permission - on Tuesday. The road had originally been kept open forcing drivers to swerve around the fire and piles of logs.

But West Sussex County Council then closed a 30ft stretch citing ‘safety reasons’.

A spokesman said: ‘Concern was expressed that a metal drum containing a fire had been placed on the highway verge outside a house where we understand the personal property of a recently deceased member of a travelling family was being burnt according to a tradition.

‘The fire was declared safe but because of a truck parked while members of a travellers’ family watched over the drum, we have put a temporary road closure in place for road safety reasons.
‘This has cost less than £100 and only involves a stretch of road less than 100metres in length and with a very short diversion, so there has been full access at all times.’

More than 200 travellers are expected at the shrine to mother-of-seven Lena Lay, 55, before her funeral takes place next Thursday.
Residents fear the mourners will park on grass verges causing more traffic problems.
Mrs Lay’s unemployed son John Chapman, 34, said: ‘We never let the fire go out because if we do we believe the devil will come and take away our souls.’
Police said the travellers have not been moved on as no crime has been committed.

Travellers are given lengthy funerals to allow relatives and friends to travel from all over the world to take turns to surround the deceased’s bed so their spirit is not angered at being abandoned.
The deceased’s possessions are destroyed, normally by being thrown into a fire.

GYPSIES, TRAMPS AND THIEVES IN NEED OF WHAT?

Just a very short read but says an awful lot.
I keep telling myself that I don’t need to post traveler stories after the many already done. But little bits like this just can’t be ignored.
Pity the day when and if this crap comes to American shores. And never say never guys.  Age taught me that.  And left wing, hand wringing libtards.

Following the admission by the Government that so-called ‘travellers’ are free to ignore the planning laws and must be allowed to jump the queue at NHS surgeries comes further evidence of preferential treatment.
Once a group of people is classified as a vulnerable minority, there’s no limit to the largesse available - or to the jobs created for Guardian readers.
St Austell council, in Cornwall, is advertising for someone to cater to the special needs of female gipsies.

‘Housing Services are seeking to appoint an experienced female support worker to join the Gipsy & Traveller Liaison Service… to provide housing-related support to gipsies and travellers living on residential sites and on unauthorised encampments.

‘The post-holder will require a knowledge, understanding and empathy of cultural heritage and diversity issues experienced by this client group.

‘They will be able to demonstrate a practical approach to supporting individuals in accessing services and enabling them to maintain their lifestyle choice within local communities.

‘The post-holder will be required to have access to a car for the delivery of the service to clients living across the entire county.

‘Please note that this advert is for female applicants only, as there is a genuine occupational requirement for a female post-holder in order to accommodate the cultural heritage of gipsies when providing access to services for female gipsy clients.’

Salary is up to £21,306 a year. I hope the people of St Austell remember that next time the council bleats about ‘lack of resources’.

Madonna is booed on stage in Bucharest after gypsy comments anger local fan.

Good. She’s a skank anyway.  But she most likely won’t care what they think.  It’s great to know that at least once, some self important entertainer exhibitionist found that people didn’t pay to listen to political statements from the stage. Of course, I can’t understand why anybody would pay good money to see her anyway.  But that’s me.

Off line all day yesterday and thought this a pretty good article to start with today.  What makes so many of these ppl believe an audience wants to be lectured to or listen to these so called ‘stars’ who bump and grind their way to fame?

Well, Drew’s moving, it’s beginning to feel like winter (to me) as this has not been a hot summer cept for a few days, and the postal people are threatening yet another strike. That’ll make three. I think.  Any other important news?  Uh, well maybe.

I hope this either a bad joke or just something I read and misunderstood.

Just a brief line in the paper yesterday with regard to one of BMEWs favorite subjects.

HEALTHCARE ...According to something I read, it says that Obama is thinking of naming whatever program he ends up with after the late Sen.Kennedy.
I could not make this one up.
He may call it KennedyCare.

So help me Hannah that is exactly what I read. And yes I did check to make sure the date wasn’t April 1.

I can’t believe that true even for him. But as Will Rogers once famously said. “ All I know is what I read in the papers.”
No not literally. Just a figure of speech. I hafta say that coz in case Macker is here and knowing his sense of humor, I thought I better cover myself.

Madonna is booed on stage in Bucharest after gypsy comments anger local fans
By Daily Mail Reporter

She’s never shied away from courting controversy, but Madonna may be wishing she’d never said a word this week.
The Queen of Pop was on stage in Bucharest, when she was booed by thousands of fans after making comments supporting gypsies.
Madonna, 51, spoke out in support of Roma gypsies, but was met with jeers and boos by the 60,000-strong audience.

‘It has been brought to my attention...that there is a lot of discrimination against Romanies and Gypsies in general in eastern Europe,’ she said.
‘It made me feel very sad.’
The singer started her show on stage with Roma musicians and a dancer, who were initially greeted with enthusiastic applause.

But the huge crowd turned when Madonna took a break during her performance to speak out against the prejudice suffered by gypsies across eastern Europe.
There was a small amount of applause when she added, ‘We don’t believe in discrimination … we believe in freedom and equal rights for everyone.’

But yet more boos followed when she also condemned injustice against gay people.  Madonna seemed unfazed by the experience and carried on with the concert.

The singer was performing in Bucharest, just yards away from the giant palace of ex-communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.
Human rights campaigners say gypsies probably suffer more humiliation and endure more discrimination than any other people group on the continent.
Nearly 50% of Europe’s estimated 12million Roma claimed to have suffered an act of discrimination over the past 12 months, according to a recent EU report.
In May 2007, Romanian President Traian Basescu was forced to apologise for calling a Romanian journalist a ‘stinky gypsy’, while in neighbouring Hungary, six Roma have been killed in recent attacks.

Of course she’s “unfazed.” That’s because she only listens to her egoself. And as for the persecution of all those poo gypsies, gee whiz.
Like, what is it they do and what kind of trouble do they cause wherever they go, that would make other ppl turn against em?
Now lets see ... this is a deep one huh?
Apparently Madonna is way too busy buying African children she can adopt, to read the papers and see the problems caused by these folk.
Anyway ... she was more then likely pontificating thinking her comments might endear her to the tone deaf fans who buy tickets.
Well, surprise Maddy.  Looks like this group of young people know something you don’t. Not that you’d be interested.

EQUAL RIGHTS AND JUSTICE BUT ONLY FOR A SPECIAL GROUP. Govt. to txpayer. Screw you!

All George Frost, the owner of three not very productive fields in Norfolk wanted, was a place where he could shelter from the rain and make a cup of tea.

So he asked his local council for permission to put a caravan on HIS land on the outskirts of the village of Carleton Rode.
Not one of the 727 villagers objected.

Unfortunately for him, however, his fields were in a ‘protected area’ under the local development plan, and his application was rejected.

Last year Mr Frost, now retired, sold the fields to John Leveridge, who applied to put six mobile homes and two tourinf caravans on the site.  At last weeks packed planning meeting of South Norfolk Council, 175 local people objected.

But Mr. Leveridge is a Romany gypsy. Even though he has lived for 11 years in a bungalow nearby, he told the meeting that he wanted to return to his traditional traveling ways.

South Norfolk planning officer Chris Trett said that according to govt. targets, there is an “inadequate supply of land for gypsies in the area, and the councillors were warned that discrimination against gypsies and Irish travelers is unlawful.

So although the fields remain protected, Mr. Leverdige’s application was passed by the council.

HOLD THE PHONE THERE BMEWS .... YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN’ YET.

Look at this poor guy.  Apologies for the photo reproduction. Best I could get from a scan of paper as the pix was not on line with the story.
Tis enuff to make a grown man cry. What the eF was the dumbassed council thinking?  Did anyone actually come out and look?
But anyway it’s all his fault because he is a member of the wrong ethnic group.

Home owner ordered to remove hot tub, pergola from garden
A home owner has been ordered to tear up £30,000 worth of renovations to his garden after his local council said the land was a protected meadow.

By Nick Allen
Published: 3:59PM BST 18 Aug 2009

Martin Crosswait, 30, bought a five-bedroom, £450,000 house in 2006 which came with an acre of land. He then installed facilities including a hot tub, rockery, decking, pergola and stone walling.

But Bradford Council said that, before the improvements, the land had become overgrown and “returned to seed”. It should therefore be protected as part of the green belt, the council said.

Mr Crosswait, of Keighley, West Yorks, was then served with an enforcement notice requiring him to restore the land to its wild state.

He has since lost two court appeals, including a latest ruling at the High Court, which have left him with an additional legal bill of £20,000.

Mr Crosswait, a professional stunt rider, said: “All I did was landscape my garden. I can’t afford to take all of the stuff out of my garden and pay the legal fees as well. I’m scared that my house is going to be repossessed.”

The one acre field behind the house was first converted into a garden by the previous owner in 1993 and was used as a barbecue area and even a mini golf course.

But when Mr Crosswait moved in he spent eight months renovating the house and allowed the garden area to become overgrown before making the improvements to it.

A Bradford Council spokesman said: “The owner of this large field decided to change its use from grazing land to an extensive private garden without first obtaining planning permission. Part of the council’s role is to protect the environment.”

There is a very large and VERY eco-friendly house being built next door to us. The old house was demolished in April and in April the new build began. It is expected to be finished by Dec. and the new owners (a Winchester dentist) and his family will move in.
Meanwhile, as the construction moves along, nothing in their large back lot has seen any landscaping. The hedges on that side are going to seed and overgrown. But ... there are plans afoot to build a small summer house (not a live in house, sort of a fancy garden shed with electric and I suppose it could be slept in as I understand things), at the far end of his property.  I guess my long winded point is that while a house is being constructed, who thinks about the rest of the property. Your concern is seeing the home finished. And since the previous owner used it even for golf, just coz in the interim it went to seed is hardly a reason to screw this guy.
What a contrast tho to the story at the top.  Now if this fellow were to suddenly discover that really,really he’s a traveler. Well .....

SOME PPL ARE JUST MORE EQUAL THEN OTHERS AND IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU MEAN BY…

So now it can be told. Treating everyone equally is not good.  Bad is good and good is bad. Got it.

I was NOT going to do yet another story on Traverlers and Gypsies, but this one begs to be seen by the readers of this site.  For the story sure, but also because for perhaps the first time an official has come out and said that “equality” doesn’t exactly mean equality when dealing with a group of ppl who have been deemed to be a ‘race.’

Or in his words exactly:

“Planning laws are deliberately biased in favour of gipsies and travellers, a Government minister has finally admitted.”

So now the truth everyone has known for awhile is out in the open. All those damned awful white English natives who are all Fascists and Racists, have ALL been right all along.  Well thanks for that, for all the good it’s gonna do because, since this article appeared yesterday there has not been one peep from anyone in power. Nothing from 10 Downing St. and sure as hell nothing from all the human and civil rights groups. Zero. And so it goes.

Ah ... another reason this article and post should hold some interest.
See my following post.

It gets worse if that’s possible.

Planning laws DO favour gipsies and travellers, says minister

By Dan Newling
THE DAILY MAIL

Planning laws are deliberately biased in favour of gipsies and travellers, a Government minister has finally admitted.

After years of official denials on the issue, Communities Secretary Shahid Malik confessed that travelling families are treated differently from ‘the settled community’.

Justifying the policy, the minister said: ‘Fairness does not mean treating people equally; it means addressing the different needs of different people.’

After years of official denials, Communities Secretary Shahid Malik confessed that travelling families are treated differently from ‘the settled community’

Mr Malik’s confession has been hailed by campaigners as a ‘long-awaited admission of the truth’ which they say reveals the way planning laws are weighted in favour of gipsies and travellers.

And it explains why many, if not most, local campaigns against unauthorised or proposed encampments are doomed to failure, no matter how justified the objections may be.

Mr Malik made his comment during a little-noticed parliamentary debate last month.

Liberal Democrat MP Steve Webb told the minister that his Gloucestershire constituents were furious that gipsies had been allowed to camp on protected Green Belt land that had previously been turned down for residential housing.

Mr Webb claimed that ‘planning anarchy’ had set in whereby travelling people deliberately flout planning law in the knowledge that local councils - which are under Government pressure to find more caravan sites - would eventually rule in their favour.

The MP said: ‘There is a feeling among those who have contacted me that people do not have equal rights and responsibilities, but that there are separate rules and outcomes for different groups.’

The system, claimed Mr Webb, is making his constituents resentful.

Mr Malik replied: ‘Fairness is what the Department for Communities and Local Government - my department - and the Government are all about; but fairness does not mean treating people equally; it means addressing the different needs of different people.

‘The need to provide adequate sites for gipsies and travellers is a challenging one for local authorities, but that is just one of the many challenges that authorities regularly deal with.’

The Chambers English Dictionary defines fairness as ‘honesty, impartiality, justice’.

Mr Malik’s apparent redefinition of the word stems from the Government’s decision in 2000 to classify gipsies and Irish travellers as distinct racial groups under the Race Relations Act.

This decision - coupled with changes to planning law and a desire to build many more gipsy and traveller sites - conferred extra rights upon these groups under both race relations and human rights legislation.

In 2005, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister issued council planners with a so-called ‘good practice guide’ telling them how to deal with gipsy and traveller camps.

The guide says: ‘Some planners...think that “treating everyone the same” helps to ensure equality. But this is not the case.

‘Explicit recognition of difference is needed to ensure that the right action can be taken to deliver a planning service responsive to different needs within the communities it serves.’

Critics say this means that in any planning battle, an argument between a ‘settled’ family and their traveller neighbours is a dispute not between equals, but two groups with different legal rights and privileges.

In June, the Daily Mail revealed that the number of legal gipsy and traveller sites has quadrupled to 1,279 over the past ten years.

Over the same period, illegal sites more than doubled to 3,680. Some illegal sites are thrown up over a Bank Holiday weekend, when council planning enforcement officers are away from their desks. By the time they return, it is too late to do anything about the encampments.

Conservative local government spokesman Bob Neill said: ‘It’s not fair that planning applications are treated differently purely because of the type of person who is applying the same, consistent rules should apply whatever your background.

‘Under Labour, law-abiding families who work hard and pay their taxes face reams of red tape to extend their houses, whilst travellers are given special treatment to concrete over the Green Belt and defy planning rules.’

Well they’re back again but ooops. They never really left. Travelers in the news and it’s all bad.

Very late starting today.  Here we go again. This time with two articles and photos on the same tired but RCOB subject.
Yeah. It’s them again and theeeeeey rrrrr baaaak!  Uh huh. Who else?

Reminder to Peiper ... don’t use the ‘G’ word. 

So then, what we have here are ants in human form.  Neat story isn’t it?  One nest knocked down but almost immediately another started.

RAID anyone?

Gypsy convoy invades site… just hours after council evicts travellers following six-year battle costing £400,000

A convoy of gypsies pitched up at a controversial traveller’s site - just hours after a group had been evicted following a lengthy legal battle costing £400,000.

South Cambridgeshire District Council officials had just finished bulldozing three illegal pitches when eight more caravans rolled on to an adjoining field.

The demolition action was the result of a six-year legal battle to remove illegally camped travellers at the notorious Smithy Fen site in Cottenham, Cambridgeshire.
At last: Bulldozers tear down the illegal camp at Smithy Fen following a six-year battle, costing £400,000. But just hours later a new group of travellers moved straight in

At last: Bulldozers tear down the illegal camp at Smithy Fen in Cambridgeshire after a six-year battle, costing £400,000…

Hours later, a new group of travellers moved in.

An SCDC spokesman said officers could have done nothing to stop the travellers moving in on Wednesday as they could have been visiting relatives.

She said: ‘Our enforcement officers have been at the site to monitor the situation and will keep it under close observation. 

‘As we understand, there are eight caravans on two authorised pitches. 

‘We will work with the community and take a balanced approach. It is possible that they are just passing through and will move on.’

She claimed there were only eight caravans in total and they had moved on to two separate pitches - therefore only exceeding capacity by two caravans per pitch.

Campaigners have accused the Government of jeopardising councils by failing to give them the power to deal with people who illegally occupy land.

Robin Page, former presenter of One Man And His Dog and independent councillor for SCDC, said the Government was too ‘politically correct’ to act.

He said: ‘It’s quite simple. The law should be the same as it is in Ireland. Illegal occupation should be a criminal offence, not a civil offence. Then there would be no problem.

‘As soon as anybody goes on to land where they are not entitled to be, police would have the power to arrest them and confiscate their caravans.

‘It is should be a universal law applied to everybody. But New Labour is so politically correct it is spineless.

Like insects these scum pop up everywhere simply because .... they can.  and the taxpayer get to pay for it all. Hey. Great system.
It works for some.

Note to Peiper. Don’t mention the ‘G’ word. 

Meet the gipsy family terrorising an entire street

There are neatly trimmed privet hedges, rose beds and top-of-the-range family cars parked outside all but one of the houses on this broad and leafy avenue in the outskirts of the North London commuter belt.

In the peace and quiet of a summer’s evening, family life in Totteridge — where professional couples pay up to £1million for a substantial home a stone’s throw from good schools, shops, restaurants and trains direct to the city — appears to be a picture of idyllic suburbia.

That is, until the Connors arrive.

You hear them before you see them.

To a cacophony of effing and blinding, a family of nine, packed like sardines into a dusty seven-seater people-carrier, pull up between the piles of rubbish and broken paving slabs on the driveway.

Little hands poke out of the windows with their middle fingers raised defiantly aloft.

John and Serena Connors and their seven children — an Irish traveller family — have been in residence at this five-bedroom £1million home since February, when they were moved by Barnet Council into privately-owned accommodation under the Local Housing Allowance scheme.

The scheme was introduced by the Government a year ago to encourage private landlords to take on council tenants in a bid to alleviate a housing shortage.

Since then, there have been several cases highlighted by the Daily Mail where families, living off benefits, have been rehomed in some of the most exclusive and expensive neighbourhoods in Britain — all at the taxpayers’ expense.

The Connors don’t pay any rent, of course. The £2,400 a month it costs to lease the house is covered by their housing benefit.

And while that fact is galling enough for those neighbours who work hard to pay their hefty mortgages in this desirable postcode, they could have lived with it had the Connors themselves been a little easier to live with.
‘They screamed: “You don’t who you’re messing with”’

Instead, since the day they arrived, they have terrorised this formerly peaceful neighbourhood and made life so nightmarish for their neighbours most are now too scared to speak out for fear of reprisals from the traveller community.

However, their next-door neighbours the Kaye family, who have arguably borne the brunt of the Connors’ campaign of intimidation and anti-social behaviour, are so sick of them — and so outraged by the situation — that they feel it’s time to take a stand.

‘They’ve screamed at us: “You don’t know who you’re messing with. You upset one traveller family, we’ll all come after you.” But what option do we have?’ says Hannah Kaye, an office administrator and mother of three boys.

‘I have never done anything to provoke these people. I don’t want any trouble. We have lived in this house for 18 years. It’s been a happy home for us. But since they arrived, I have been literally sick with worry.’

This is not snobbery. As Hannah’s solicitor husband Jeremy puts it: ‘We don’t have a problem living next door to anyone. We don’t care who pays their rent or what they do for a living as long as they’re decent neighbours. But these people aren’t even decent human beings.’

This is not just the matter of the piles of rubbish accumulating all over the property, including on the flat roof. It has nothing to do with the beaten-up van that sits on the driveway or even the filthy language that can be heard spilling from the Connors’ permanently open windows at all hours of the day and night.

It’s about a family with a staggering disregard for other people and their property, and even less concern for the burden they place on hard-working, taxpaying families like the Kayes.

The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth from Richard Littlejohn. A worthy read.

Littlejohn is one of the very best at what he does, and I have yet to find him mistaken, unfair or wrong. Granted, I’m partial so I might miss something here and there. I might, but I kinda doubt that.
My previous post on this subject will with this editorial, make things even more clear for American readers. You folks at home in the USA have no idea how serious this problem is.  Sure, we have our leaky borders and problems with immigration both legal and otherwise.  But nothing like this. 
I seriously doubt America would have this exact same problem. First, Americans wouldn’t put up with it from the get-go.  I don’t think we’d allow it to become so well entrenched.  But then again, ya never do know for certain. Do we?

Some translations for those who may not be familiar with terms.
A boot sale would be about the same as a flea market.

Tarmac gang:  Often guys will arrive in a truck loaded with asphalt and claim that they have left over from a previous job and will relay driveway cheap.
It’s that alright.

Wigan Council’s consumer watchdogs are warning residents to be on their guard against a gang of unscrupulous workers who are charging elderly and vulnerable people top dollar for rock bottom work.

In the past week alone an 83 year-old Lowton woman has already shelled out more than £300 for sub-standard repair work to her drive.

While neighbours in Whelley have also been stung by the same firm to the tune of hundreds of pounds for pretty shoddy block paving work.

Residents of an Oxfordshire town are being warned about a group of men who are visiting homes and offering to tarmac driveways.

Are you sitting comfortably? Let’s go tarmacking with Teabag, Tess and Toby

By Richard Littlejohn

Are you sitting comfortably, children? Then I’ll begin. Once upon a time there was Janet and John, who lived with their mummy and daddy in a neat suburban house. Their harmless adventures helped millions of children to read.

Now meet Tess the Traveller, her son Toby and their dog Teabag, the new stars of a reading book for three to seven-year-olds being distributed in primary schools across the country.

It’s part of a government initiative aimed at promoting tolerance and understanding towards gipsies and travellers.

Needless to say, Tess, Toby and Teabag lead an airbrushed, romanticised existence. This well-scrubbed trio roam the land, attending traditional gipsy dances, horse fairs and even an eco-camp.

Nowhere is there any mention of Toby’s father. Tess is a strong, capable single mum who can turn her hand to anything, including mending a flat tyre on their caravan.

The ‘diversity’ brigade can’t bring themselves to acknowledge that fathers have any part to play in bringing up children. I’m surprised that they didn’t make Tess a lesbian, who became pregnant by artificial insemination using sperm donated by a transgendered friend.

If they were really striving for authenticity, Tess would be married, probably from the age of 14. Travellers are one of the last bastions of both the nuclear and extended family.

In a nod to accuracy, Tess makes her money at car boot sales, although the stories don’t elaborate on where she gets her merchandise. Car boot sales are notorious for the disposal of stolen property.

Here in the real world, Tess would be claiming welfare benefits while pocketing the cash without declaring it to the taxman.

She would be driving a £50,000 Toyota Landcruiser (running on red agricultural diesel) with a stolen lawn-mower in the boot; living on either an illegal camp site or in a subsidised council house; and running a Tarmacking gang.

Toby wouldn’t look like one of the gang from Scooby Doo. He’d be a snot-nosed scruff begging outside the local pound shop, accompanied by Teabag, a snarling, mangy mutt on a piece of string, rather than a playful contender for Crufts.

Over the past few years, travellers have been transformed into a protected species, their lifestyle subsidised and proselytised.

They are treated as an oppressed ethnic minority, even though the term ‘travelling community’ encompasses everyone from genuine gipsies and Irish tinkers to Roma criminal gangs and assorted hippie throwback layabouts.

One thing they all seem to have in common is a reluctance to travel anywhere - or, at least, in the case of the Irish and Eastern European contingents, to stay put once they’ve arrived in England, where a buffet of benefits is laid before them.

Many live blameless lives of self-sufficiency, in particular law-abiding circus folk, who move from town to town providing innocent pleasure at rip-off prices. Others, though, are a menace to society, earning a living from dubious practice and outright criminality.

I bet the horse fair attended by Tess, Toby and Teabag didn’t have to be stormed by a police armed response unit, as happened recently at a similar gathering in Kenilworth, following reports that revellers were firing guns and shoplifting.

There’s a whole industry dedicated to pandering to the needs of travellers, even though most contribute absolutely nothing to society.

Yesterday, as Irish tinkers demonstrated in Basildon, Essex, against a long-overdue order to evict them from Europe’s largest illegal settlement, it was revealed that £4.7million of Lottery money has been spent helping travellers to subvert the planning laws.

Wherever these camps are established, there is invariably an increase in crime. Even when they do move on, they leave behind scorched earth and piles of rubbish.

Yet the travellers are indulged by the authorities, while law-abiding, taxpaying local householders who voice their complaints are routinely threatened with prosecution for ‘racism’.

As I reported recently, Warwickshire Constabulary even threw a pikeys’ picnic on the lawn of police headquarters in an effort to improve relations with the ‘community’ following the shootout at the Kenilworth horse fair.

Elsewhere, police have been offering free driving lessons to travellers to try to persuade them to take a test, tax and insure their cars, all of which are apparently alien to their ‘culture’.

Mobile benefit offices have been set up at illegal camps to spare them the inconvenience of having to travel in to town to sign on. And the NHS has ordered that gipsies be fast-tracked at GPs’ surgeries.

But our children won’t be reading about any of this in the fantasy world of Tess, Toby and Teabag.

Are you still sitting comfortably?

Taxpayer pays gypsies to lean how to beat planning rules,and fund course on assertiveness training.

Here comes that old curtain of red mist dropping over the eyes yet again.

This place really does have to be totally outta their collective minds. Or what passes for it.

I got the following paragraph in an email newsletter which isn’t worth an entire post. But coupled with the traveler/gypo thing, they’re a match.
Gee whiz. A budget black hole.  Wonder why.

Councils hit by £4 billion budget black hole
A new survey by the Local Government Association has revealed that local authorities face a £4billion hole in their budgets due to falls in income from sources such as property sales and interest on cash reserves as a result of the recession. Sir Jeremy Beecham, vice-chairman of the LGA, is quoted: “Town halls are feeling the effect of the recession in exactly the same way as hard pressed home owners and families.

This is only one of two two blood boiling stories that appeared today. Can you people believe how stupid these folks have become?  Is it the air? The water? Were they simply born idiots and so aren’t responsible?  See for yourselves.

How gipsies got £5m of Lottery cash to beat planning rules… and fund course on assertiveness training

Daily Mail

Travellers have claimed almost £5million in government funding to help them get around planning laws.

Money from the Big Lottery Fund, which is supposed to be used to help good causes, has gone on advising gipsy and Roma groups how to set up illegal camps and get services there.

The projects funded from the public purse include a programme to help traveller groups in the East Midlands ‘to better understand and have a meaningful input into planning policies’.

Planning help: Gipsies are getting advice on building sites such as this one in Warwickshire

The money paid for a project worker to ‘organise seminars and forum meetings’ at which travellers were able to ‘engage with the planners and policy makers’.

Gipsies elsewhere in the country received advice on how to claim accommodation and benefits, and were given media training to win over residents in rural areas.

And those who find travelling groups intimidating will be astonished to learn those in one London borough were even given assertiveness training. In total, £4.7million has been handed out by the Big Lottery Fund to 26 pro-traveller causes since 2004.

The Tories seized on details of the funding as new evidence that Labour has been covertly pursuing a policy of expanding the number of traveller sites throughout the UK - often against the wishes of the local population.

The Mail revealed earlier this year that the rate at which new traveller and gipsy sites are being set up has doubled over the past two years.
Graphic

Tory local government spokesman Bob Neill said: ‘This is just another sign of how the Labour Government snubs hard-working families who play by the rules and pay their taxes.’

‘By contrast, many travellers are being given special treatment. Town halls are being bullied into using compulsory purchase powers to seize land. Vital planning rules, like Green Belt protection, are being ripped up.

‘The British people have an inherent sense of fair play, and this different treatment isn’t right or fair.’

Parliamentary answers provided by culture minister Barbara Follett show that even apparently legitimate projects to help traveller children, such as a Hertfordshire play bus, meant public money was spent on ‘unauthorised sites’.

It was also revealed a Gipsy and Traveller Support Project in East Sussex received taxpayers’ money to help ensure ‘they are fully represented in community action planning processes’.

The Ormiston Children and Families Trust Advocacy service got funding to help gipsy communities ‘understand, access and benefit from the services to which they are entitled’, including advocacy on planning applications and appeals.

The growing pace of approvals of sites follows instructions sent out by John Prescott in 2006 that force councils into using compulsory purchase powers to meet new regional targets for traveller camps.

In March it emerged that thousands of protesters against one new site in Bedfordshire were ignored by council officials on the grounds that they were ‘racist’.

A spokesman said: ‘The Big Lottery Fund does not exclude any minority groups from applying for funding.

‘From June 2004 to February 2009, Big has made awards totalling £4.76million to initiatives that have benefited gipsies and travellers. This is equivalent to 0.2 per cent of the fund’s good cause funding.

‘Recent research has shown that only an estimated 20 per cent of 11 to 16-year-olds from the gipsy and traveller population attend secondary school and 68 per cent had experienced racism or prejudice because they were a traveller.’

Nine councils under fire today for spending £250,000 of taxpayers’ money hiring consultants.

Something else the Brit taxpayer is not too pleased about. 

A “pitch” is a plot of land. Got it. But what the heck is this talk of a “ holistic approach.” As I see it and I am not alone in this, it’s simply another way to sock it to and screw the Brit public.  Most especially those paying the freight.

Much of this is the doing of a former Deputy PM named John Prescott.  A far left died in the wool bully boy who, tho now wealthy himself, openly wanted to stick it to those he considered to be the wealthy or well to do middle classes.  He became Deputy Prime Minister, as LyndonB has made clear in the past, to placate and appease the far left wing of the Labour Party under Blair.  It is my understanding that without Prescott on side, Blair might not have been able to get the support he needed to become PM. 

I don’t believe based on what I have seen here that the left has been good for England.  It has become without any doubt a dictatorship of the Politically Correct.  And this is only one of many results.

Councils ‘hiring consultants’ to find suitable gypsy and traveller sites
Published by Jon Land for 24dash.com in Housing , Local Government
Tuesday 4th August 2009 - 9:19am

Nine councils came under fire today for spending around £250,000 of taxpayers’ money hiring consultants to find gypsy and traveller sites.

Bournemouth and Poole Councils have now joined seven councils across Dorset by contributing £14,000 and £10,000 respectively to the task.

Town hall bosses have struggled to find suitable permanent residential and transit pitches in time for the 2011 deadline as set out in the Government’s Regional Spatial Strategy.

But critics say hiring £250,000 consultants to do the job is “passing the buck”.

Mark Wallace, of the Taxpayers’ Alliance, said: “Of course it is right that the councils don’t duplicate any work but they should be asking whether they really need such costly consultants for this task at all.

“We are all aware how controversial these sites are and taxpayers will be worried councillors will be using experts as a way of passing the buck when they chose an unpopular site.

“Unfortunately this is yet another example of central Government policy imposing large amounts of trouble and massive costs on local government unfairly.”

The £250,000 comes as one of the nine councils - Weymouth and Portland - is closing a women’s refuge because it does not cater for men.

Critics argued that the move is to save the refuge’s annual £83,000 running costs.

An advert on the Dorset County Council website has called for consultants to take on the role and prepare a detailed report on the potential sites.

Dave Ayre, head of gypsy and traveller services at Dorset County Council, said: “Rather than each district, unitary or borough council making their own arrangements, appointing their own consultants, we have decided to share the costs, share the pain if you like, and get a more holistic approach.”

Poole needs to find 35 residential pitches and eight transit pitches by 2011 but the council disputes these figures.

It is already refurbishing a site at Mannings Heath for 15 residential pitches.

Councillor Ron Parker said: “We have tried to identify a suitable transit site but this has proved very difficult given the limited amount of available and appropriate land in Poole.

“The logical approach for the council now is to join our neighbours across Dorset in carrying out a wider search to identify the most appropriate areas for sites.

“By working together, I am confident we can all achieve a consistent and cost-effective approach to tackling this issue.”

The joint plan recommended by consultants would need to be adopted by each authority with the project due for completion in 2012.

Shadow local government and planning minister Bob Neill said: “This all stems from John Prescott’s controversial planning rules that are forcing councils to following binding regional targets for traveller encampments, irrespective of local wishes.

“Whatever their original intentions, the Labour Government’s policies on travellers threaten to undermine cohesion and increase tensions in the community.”
