Hmm, that's not actually what I expected. I thought they would have moved back in tbh.

...

Or cheaper to pay up rather than go to court, win, then not be able to recover legal fees?

I am strongly in favour of protesting. And very much against police violence. But if people protest they really should own up. And I despise the culture that tells you to call a lawyer before an ambulance.

I think there is a place for ambulance chasing lawyers but one simple change is needed. They should be liable for the court costs if their client loses

Slightly off topic but I would love to see what the situation there is now. I have an idea but interesting to see.

Bunch of tax dodging scum! ...oh wait a minute.

Excuse me? Most of us are just scum.

To be fair if they had just paid them 15k each to bugger off it would have been cheaper and quicker than what they ended up doing.

I would have preferred if they had turned up with an MOT tester, taxman & benefits officer. The TC's would have left in hours.

Maybe I'm a cynic but I suspect little tax was paid for those shiny new cars & caravans.

had she not been formally asked to disperse?

Did they charge & prosecute her? If not why not?

I'll try that in the bank next time, whilst waving my hand in a bag so it looks like a gun I'll wrap a scarf round my face because I'm cold.

Yes probably the Police were a little rough, however most of the people went there for a ruck, the original occupants were there illegally and made the locals lives hell.

sorry the pikeys travelling community have a contingent that are a pain in the butt and should be policed heavily so they behave.

Where is the criminal investigation into the police violence?

[BrilloPad]

Fair enough. So I guess they thought they'd lose.

I think £15,000 should be deducted from the settlement to help pay for the policing effort. Also for the fact that she's a pikey bitch

I still would though. Would Mitch?

Did not go to court. It said Essex Police did not admit liability but had settled the claim, agreeing to pay Ms Yianni £15,000.

Sounds like she and the police had their day in court and she won.

Brillo, if you're gonna selectively snip out sentences from an article, you may as well just point us to the daily mail version.

Or I could just have told you how much her house was worth.
