Yep. We had them where we lived.
A blot on the landscape.

Well there's one Brighton resident we know of (no names of course) that thinks they are entitled to live wherever they like so he'll probably be down there drinking Guinness with them right now.

Apparently they arrived yesterday, but this is the first I heard about it.

I just checked to see if that vehicle is taxed in pic 5. The tax ran out Sept last year.

You heard correctly. There's a park where we lived that regularly got infested with these people. I used to walk the dog there. But I avoided it when they were encamped there. Apart from the trash strewn about, some of them had dogs. I didn't want mine to any infections or fleas or anything else they might be carrying.

Re: 50 Travellers have

Some of the scum have just turned up on a kids playing field in Mirfield having cut the locks off the chains first to get in. By all accounts, the police just stood by and let them. They are also reported to have gone to Lidl in Mirfield on a massive shop-lifting trip and nothing could be done.

It's about time these bastards (for want of a better name) were severely punished for their crimes, any un-taxed vehicles removed and scrapped and all caravans forcibly evicted off private grounds.
