framer threatens travellers on his land with force.

Well it’s about damn time.

Score one for the side of right and logic.

The story and photos say more then I can. Enjoy.

Now, if only it were legal to kill the vermin. Ah. Relief.

· Dave Dawson threatened to remove travellers by force himself after declaring: ‘I won’t tolerate it.’
· Police say travellers left of their own accord in two hours 50 minutes after Mr Dawson’s intervention
By LUKE SALKELD
When he found travellers’ caravans had arrived on his land, Dave Dawson had two options.
He could either alert the authorities and wait for the slow turning of the wheels of justice and officialdom.
Or he could rely on the somewhat quicker wheels of his digger – and remove the caravans by force.
Taking the second course of action, Mr Dawson put in a call to the police to inform them of his intentions, which risked leading to his arrest.

‘I just won’t tolerate it. It is my land. I bought it and I have worked hard for it. I called the police and told them I was going to get the digger and move them.
‘I didn’t care if they got squashed, flattened or left on their own, but one way or another I was going to get them off my land.’

There’s a lot to see and read but the one thing that really stands out and shows you all just how insane the laws here are, is this.

‘The police told me that once they are on the land they have rights. But what about my rights?’ Mr Dawson added.

‘As it was, the police threatened to arrest me. It has already cost me a day’s work and about £500 to repair the damage. They cut through a metal gate and put their own lock on it.’

once they are on the land they have rights

Does that one tiny line convey just how thoroughly fucked up the politicians have allowed this place to become?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
