it’s always about rights. but not of the law abiding. they’re easy to control.

So between so called student riots a few months ago, the recent is London burning lets loot and pillage fun and games among the rabble, a ‘police’ action in Libya to protect civilians in that country because there are no civilians in this country that need protecting from murderous rapists and other assorted slime, and Gypsy and squatter home invasions that aren’t really a crime and anyway, the last govt. declared them to be an ethnic minority, and where before if you lost your temper and called one a name it was exactly that but now .... now it is considered a race hate crime to insult one of them.  And from the previous story posted with regard to a gypo/squatter take over of someone’s home ... we now move to another part of the country dealing with the same “ethnic” grouping of vermin.

This is, more or less, an update.  The story of the ten year battle here is renewed as Amnasty Intl. has stuck its unwanted nose into the act.  Gosh I wish someone somewhere would bloody their damn nose.

I can not begin to imagine anything along the order of the things I’m posting about, in the time of Wellington. Or Churchill. And they just don’t seem to be able to deal with things in a way that would end the nonsense.  But then .... if we look at America, while we may not have the gypo problem, we are somewhat fractured and not as united by the things that once held us together.  And I want you know know that while America was fast asleep, there were groups like Amnasty, a foreign based anti American org., hard at work to unravel the US in any way they can. And they are not the only ones.  All working in the USA, or else funding movements with donations from here and Europe. 

OK, on with the show.

Anger as Amnesty International calls for halt to planned mass eviction at Britain’s biggest illegal gypsy camp

Amnesty International have called for a halt to a planned eviction of the traveller families from Britain’s largest illegal gypsy site, to the fury of residents.

The human rights campaigners say the order to force almost 100 families living on Dale Farm, near Basildon, Essex, to leave by the end of the month could make 400 people homeless and breach their international rights

Basildon Council officials, supported by Essex Police, are expected to take action to clear the sprawling site next month if the travellers, who moved in more than a decade ago, do not leave by August 31.

But angry Mike Beiley, 65, who lives nearby, told The Sun that despite the intervention of Amnesty International, an organisation usually associated with defending people’s rights in war-torn countries, the travellers should not be there.

‘They’ve broken the law and now it’s time for them to get packing,’ he said.

‘They don’t seem to think our rights matter.’

Jezerca Tigani, Amnesty’s deputy director of the Europe and Central Asia programme, argued that the families would be left with nowhere to go to as a result of the move.

‘Up to 400 people could be left homeless as a result of the forced eviction which would require them to vacate their plots without an authorised site to which they can take their caravans,’ she said.

‘The authorities must ensure that their actions do not break international law. A negotiated settlement is a must.

‘This means genuine consultation, in a manner that seeks meaningful input from travellers rather than a form-filling exercise and, if an eviction is unavoidable, ensuring adequate alternative housing which allows the Irish travellers to express their cultural identity.’

The plea from Amnesty follows similar calls from Raquel Rolnik, the UN’s special rapporteur on housing, and Rita Izak, a UN independent expert on minority issues.

But council leader Tony Ball said the authority had spent the last 10 years trying to find a peaceful solution and they were still trying to find a solution without the need for a clearance.

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.
