They are 'travellers' and constantly punt that down the ears of anyone who will listen.

Let them travel then....

Jog on, says I.  If that needs encouragement from a fleet of bulldozers, c'est la vie. 

The rest of the UK has to abide by planning laws so why not them? 

[Bionic]

Travellers are NOT true Romanies and as such only try to evade the rules that normal citizens accept as a part, and an obligation, in their lives.
The buildings that have been erected without planning permission should be bulldozed flat as soon as possible and the protesters locked up.
Perhaps their supporters will provide free housing for them if they are so intent on helping.... But I bet that none will make that offer...sad tw*ts.

No Sympathy.

There is a section of this particular community who feel they are above the law.

The site next door is legit and all are happy, the parasites on the illegal site need outing.

If I built a garage without planning permission and building control regs approval then they would put a bull dozer straight through it.

We ahev no way of knowing if the buildings they have built are even safe!

Sadly in my experience this is not true. Opposite tried to do a loft conversion and raise the roof line. This was turned down. So they went ahead with a loft conversion keeping the roof line the same, with planning permission. No problem I hear you say, but then they decided to follow the original plans and raise the roof line. Numerous calls to planning resulted in no action during the build. Afterwards they just retrospectively applied for permission and it was given as the coucil said it could not afford to fight the case.

Basically a case of build what you like.

A sad result that one but, it will ahev been overseen by building control so would ahev met code and been safe....none of what these pikeys have done has been

[Bionic]

Surely the main point is that what they have done by flouting all of the rules is indefensable and the rule of law to its full extent should be applied as rapidly and effectively as possible. Their supporters should be held to account too and made to pay for the additional costs their intervention will no doubt incur.
If sympathy is what is they are seeking then I suggest they look between sh*t and syphallis in any dictionary....its the only place they should find it here.
I pay my dues to society and abide by its rules, so should they cos without that they are but parasites on us all.
I can operate a dozer...want any free help?

Happened to my brother too. Next door got planning permission for a bungalow. What did they build? A two storey house that overlooks them! Complaining didn't achieve anything. It is who you know on the council.

These travellers that have been accused of keeping these slaves are about 3 miles from where I live - what is even more incredible is that Frank Bruno lives directly in front of this camp - I have to wonder what the hell was he thinking when he bought the place! He has had to put up an 8 foot fence to keep them out as they were knocking on his door on a regular basis offering him out for a punch-up, lovely people.....

too many whacks to the head?

[Varche]

Questions for the local MP and the government of the day.

I understood(but may be wrong) that all approved travellers sites had a local liaison officer. Has he or she been sacked?

For none approved sites I would expect the local police to carry out that function. This is a very serious situation (slavery) which shouldn't be able to happen in a 1st world country. How many other sites have the same thing going on.

[albitz]

Saw one of the alleged slaves being interviewed on the news last night.He had refused to make a statement or complaint to the police,and imo was scared for his life.
As an apparently civilised country we should show no mercy to "people" who perpetrate this type of thing.It is imo a glowing example of political correctness gone berserk, when this kind of thing can be taking place on these sites and the authorities are too scared to do much  about it.
Apparently the police and other authorities have known about this for a long time  but it took them a long time to pluck up the courage to act.
