Appleby Horse Fair
As we all know, this event has been cancelled this year, in a lot of people's opinions, it should be cancelled permenently.However I hear that a certain Gypsy group is saying that as there are lots of them unable to find a place to stay the land normally used for them to stay at the fair should be made available to use for them to park up during the current crisis!
Can you imagine it, most of them have no respect for the law anyway, if this is allowed then it'll just turn into an even longer horse fair, are these people real or what?

I hate the way they gallop them along the roads & the fact that they are all close together, quite honestly I am surprised more horses don't get injured or more people kicked.

They think they can do what they like with no consequences, I helped one family when they were having problems and they repaid me shortly after by stealing some equipment off my response vehicle! they rely on people being intimidated by them, it usually works, plus it doesn't help when the police won't touch them. They bought a patch of land near me and put several caravans on it to live in, all without planning approval of course, the council did nothing, yet if you or I did it we'd be up in court. And what really boils my piss is that they're now starting to claim benefits ffs! Most of them have never paid tax or national insurance in their lives.
