meaningless marching orders for a thousand travellers … strife ahead ..

As if this country doesn’t have enough to deal with. Now this damn thing and yes. It’s pretty much the same old same old BUT, the press reports a new wrinkle today.
Can you believe it?  This has been brewing for ten long years.  Of course, the left leaning Labour party was in power all that time and I guess but don’t personally know, that creeps like Harperson contributed to this problem.  See?  This is what you have to look forward to in a far left socialist nanny state.

To make matters even worse, there’s a group calling themselves Wombles, who I have never heard of outside stories for kids.  Apparently this group while not gypsy/traveler, is just looking for an excuse to confront the state and things could get quite messy. They will support the gypsies they say. Oh boy. And to think, the authorities could have closed things down before the numbers got this high. And nobody here has the stomach for firepower. At least on the govt. side.

Fury as travellers living on Europe’s largest illegal camp leapfrog thousands of people on council house waiting list

Four travellers facing eviction from Europe’s largest illegal travellers’ camp have leap-frogged more than 4,500 people to go to the top of a housing list in Essex.

However, the residents of the controversial Crays Hill site near Billericay have turned down the properties on offer because they want caravan pitches instead of permanent housing.

The news that the four had been prioritised on the housing list was revealed at a hearing at Southend County Court and it will infuriate the local community.

EVICTION AND HOUSING

But the part to pay some close attention to is this.

Eviction of gypsy camp could cost the taxpayer £10million

By Daily Mail Reporter

Around 1,000 travellers have been given their marching orders while Essex police and the council draw up plans to evict them.

But hundreds of supporters have pledged to fight the eviction, and there are fears that the process could take two weeks and cost £10 million in police wages.
Essex Police has applied for extra government cash to pay for the eviction, as it anticipates violence flaring up at the sprawling site.

Gratton Puxon, a traveller campaigner, said: ‘Home Secretary Theresa May is being asked by Essex police to contribute up to £10 million to cover rising costs for the policing of Basildon’s ongoing plans to evict traveller families from the district.
‘No one has yet calculated how much further time and money would be wasted moving on those forced to camp on roadsides and parking lots.

‘Travellers have sworn to set up fresh camps on council land in the district.’

A police source told The Echo that the cost of an eviction would escalate if anti-capitalist groups like the Wombles joined the travellers to stand against the bulldozers.  There is intelligence of groups like the Wombles being involved, as they would relish a big fight against the state.’

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.
