Pissed off cops.

Travellers eco friendly water cannon.

Hah, we had one disagreement about ID cards.

I didn't just mean you - I've been called a bleeding heart lefty sandal wearer by almost everyone on here!

Your are an illiterate C*** . Read my posts. No way am I bleeding heart. I am pointing out that there is on rule for the rich another for the poor.

BTW the Court Order was for bailiffs to enter the property, not the Police. Since the Police entered the property without bailiffs the entry was illegal.

Oh the irony. I'm the illiterate one?

The statement from the Police:

Officers have this morning entered the Dale Farm site following intelligence which informed the commanders that anyone entering the site was likely to come up against violence and a serious breach of the peace would occur.

Intelligence received indicated protesters had stockpiled various items with the intent of using these against bailiffs and police. The first officers on the site were attacked with missiles being thrown, including rocks and liquids. These officers were fully equipped to deal with this situation

Nothing unlawful about it.

17 Entry for purpose of arrest etc.

(1)Subject to the following provisions of this section, and without prejudice to any other enactment, a constable may enter and search any premises for the purpose—
....
(e)of saving life or limb or preventing serious damage to property.
....
(6)Nothing in subsection (5) above affects any power of entry to deal with or prevent a breach of the peace.

[Sockpuppet]

The UN and Amnesty International has condemned the action in particular that the travellers have no alternative homes to go to. It is a PR disaster for the government. It is also disaster for the UK because the UK government will be in court for this, they will have to pay compensation and that compensation will come from us the taxpayers.

Is it? For me it'd be a disaster if they left them there. I'm quite happy they're gone. I live somewhere I'd never get planning permission to build so why the **** should they be any different. If they don't like it they can rent houses like the rest of us or **** off back to Ireland.

Years ago we had the travellers/tinkers/pikeys whatever you want to call them, move in on the road up to my parents.

They were there for a few weeks and everyone was kicking off about them being there. There were about 50 caravans or so, although unlike Dale Farm they hadn't put in walls or concrete structures or anything.

Eventually the council came in with a few bulldozers and started to wall them in, if they wanted to stay then they'd be "fenced" in. They used mounds of rubble and earth and told the travellers, they would only leave space for a car to get through the entrance.

They were out of there quick fast

Moved into a field down the way from us. Farmer turned up with two massive tractors and told them they had 20 mins to **** off. Parked his tractors with muck spreaders behind them and strung a chain between them and told the travellers that'd he'd drag the caravans to nothing unless they moved. They did.

Incorrect. The police can enter any property they like to stop or prevent a breach of the peace.

Please stop getting your informational from "indy" media sources as they're less than unbiased.

I really don't know whether I should warrant you with a reply, coming out with such an idiotic statement you quite clearly are: (a) a ******* retard; (b) a ******* sockie or (c) both.

Sounds like something Goebbels would say.

Come on, Paddy's got a point. After all, there has been 10 years of one law for the rich and one for the poor here. The poor locals who've been blighted by the illegal site and have paid taxes to fund the (non) travellers education and other social welfare costs vs the rich travellers who have had bargain accomodation costs and tax-free education and social services.

Yeah, nice guy although he was barking mad.
