IS THERE TO BE RELIEF FROM THE GYPSY PLAGUE?  NEW GOVT. SAYS YES.  WE’LL SEE.

OK .. two stories same subject but not exactly the same.  No more traveller stories this week unless really big. 

I won’t hold my breath as the word of a politician is after all, just that.  A word.  Maybe I’m not being fair.  I suppose there may be hope after all. But why has it taken all this damn time?  That’s a dumb question. Sorry.  The loony,libtard,Labour Left wankers were in charge.  Lets hope the cons keep their word and follow through.

The story appeared yesterday but I wasn’t able to post it as there wasn’t a link.  And even Drew couldn’t find one.  Same thing today, a small article in the Telegraph, essentially the same story but yards shorter and no link that I can find.  It almost makes me believe in conspiracies.
The longer better article appeared yesterday in the Mail on Sunday.  One of the scary differences however is, in one place they say “ministers are considering” and we all know what “considering” means.  The other says “Ministers to end land grabs by travellers over bank holidays.”

The Telegraph story today just says “Bank holiday gypsy ban.” Perhaps after all this time there could be some relief of some kind.  I will not look for miracles.

Under existing laws, police can only make an arrest if a Traveller is seen breaking through a gate. If the new law gets passed, officers will be able to take action after 24 hours. LOL. Why a Duck?  The Marx Bros.  24 hours?  What’s wrong with 10 or 15? Or one?  Jeesh. Maybe I missed something.

Also according to one of the pieces, it says birth deaths are very high among this group, 20 times higher, and life expectancy is shorter by ten years then the average Brit.
Well, at least there’s something to cheer about.

LAND GRABS BY TRAVELLERS OVER BANK HOLIDAYS TO BE BANNED, MINISTERS PROMISE.

GIPSIES and Travellers are to be banned from taking advantage of bank holiday weekends to establish settlements on rural land, under new laws to be unveiled by ministers.

Councils will be given the power to stop new settlements and the right to remove
caravans.  Local authorities will also be told to ensure that enforcement officials are available at the weekend.  Laws to prohibit trespass on public land may also be introduced.  (May be? What’s with that? There should be NO “may be” about it) italics mine

Gypsies have been secretly buying land and laying tarmac before moving in caravans without planning permission during long bank holiday weekends.  They then seek retrospective planning permission, a process which can take up to 18 months during which time councils may be powerless to act.

It’s a legal loophole that Travellers’ rights groups openly encourage.

Under current rules, gipsies cannot be evicted from land if planning permission has been requested, meaning travellers can move in and begin to lay down concrete on green spaces on weekends and bank holidays, and then avoid expulsion by submitting a planning application before council officials can be sent to the site to shut it down.

In addition, the Conservatives will say that they will stop gipsies using human rights laws by scrapping the Human Rights Act and replacing it with a “British Bill of Rights”.
However, Dominic Grieve, the shadow justice spokesman, recently admitted that the Conservatives may not be in a position to repeal the Act in their first term in office.

Ministers pledge crackdown on the illegal traveller sites

By Steve Doughty
Daily Mail, May 2010

Gipsies and travellers are to lose the right to flout planning laws, ministers pledge.

Years of special treatment have fuelled tensions and undermined good neighbourliness, they said..

The decision reverses five years of increasing favouritism as Labour ministers pressed for travellers’ human rights to take precedence.

Guidelines to planning inspectors said travellers should be able to set up sites on protected land and in the green belt because of their minority status.

They said rules that apply to everyone else should be bent on human rights grounds as many travellers suffer an ‘aversion to bricks and mortar’.

BACK ISSUE SOURCE

“rules that apply to everyone else should be bent on human rights grounds.”

The Socialist lunatic left in action.

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.
