GYPSIES, TRAMPS AND THIEVES IN NEED OF WHAT?

 

1. does this mean the council want to start a brothel? dont forget the 54p amile (and boy will they do a lot of miles in cornwall) this is pure sex discrimination, thank god we left the place. I am starting to wonder if Hitler had insight to this?

2. Gypsies have been a european cancer for generations. Untill recent times, they hadn’t been quite as big a problem in UK, I don’t believe.
   25 yrs ago when I was here, I didn’t hear anything about them.
   Yes. I do think the Nazis not only knew, they were the only ones to say that’s enough and try and put an end to them.
   BUT WAIT… see next post. Just found a totally incredible story in the Mail. Wasn’t even looking for it.

3. I think there are some travellers in America, at least you hear about wandering bands of scam artists that marry 14 year olds. Still, it seems that the councils have quite a bit of power over residents and taxpayers and no power whatsoever over non-residents and welfare recipients.

4. Stormbird, you have it exactly right.

   councils have quite a bit of power over residents and taxpayers and no power whatsoever over non-residents and welfare recipients.

5. I remember when I was younger and not so good with money and I’d occasionally have to get a bridge loan from the First Bank of Mom and Dad; the interest rate was excellent but you made up for it in shame. I’d also do favors for them (stain the deck, run errands, take one of their cars in for service) and kiss up to them.

   The travellers/gypsies get free (to them) money and social services and free land and the chance to go to the head of the line with the NHS. All they are asked to do is not be jerks. There’s no workfare, no picking up litter on the highways, no orders to move along every few weeks. All they need to do to keep living exactly how they want with no effort/repercussions is to not be jerks.

   But… they _are_ being jerks. This makes no sense to me. I guess some people just want to watch the world burn, starting with their caravans.
