Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 A couple sank £30,000 of their retirement savings into a dream 26ft mobile home. 18 months ago it was stolen off a caravan park by gypsies. The Police have just found it and discovered a gypsy couple with 2 children are living in it. The owners were really happy to hear that the Police had found it. However, this is the UK and things aren't that straightforward. Because of the gypsies 'human rights' the Police have no power to recover the stolen mobile home. The Social Services would have to be involved to find the gypsy family accommodation or it would be a breach of their 'human rights'. Isn't it scandalous?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Gypsy is an often miss used word. These people are not gypsies they are 'itinerant travellers'. Travelling round committing crime. I once had occasion in my job to visit a true Gypsy family, the nicest people you could wish to meet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since they nicked it the right place for them to be "accommodated" is in jail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mudgie49 401 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Do the couple who had their mobile home stolen have 'human rights',or is the law just for ethnic minorities?. I find it hard to understand why the police cannot make an arrest. So if you are a white Anglo Saxon,you would get busted for the same crime?. Being politically correct I suppose,a load of b------s, 'what's good for one is good for all'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Rob.L., I was reading the newspapers on the Internet last night when I saw it. It's in most of the newspapers. I don't know how to do the link but the Daily Mail has an e-mail facility so I sent myself the e-mail to get the link. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2381292/Police-let-gypsy-family-stay-couples-30-000-stolen-caravan-moving-breach-human-rights.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Apparently they are claiming they didn't nick it but bought it for £300. Yeah right . The best of it is the coppers won't even tell the owners where it is, so they are stuck as to what to do. Colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 If you've ever thought, just for one second, that our leaders aren't as stupid as they're made out to be, then just read this article in todays newspaper. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2406776/Wild-Park-travellers-force-Brighton-Hove-Council-remove-expensive-gate.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 You should know that most of our leaders are not in the slightest bit interested in the people they are elected to represent. That is why the electorate and their opinions and needs (especially those of us who have worked all our lives and paid loadsamoney into the system) are treated with complete and utter contempt. Those so called leaders are only init for what they can get out of it which is quite a lot. By the way, does anyone know of any ordinary Brit who had the opportunity to vote for the president of the European Union? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Scuse my ignorance but, are those "travellers" mentioned in Post #121 - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2406776/Wild-Park-travellers-force-Brighton-Hove-Council-remove-expensive-gate.html - the nice friendly people we once knew as Gypsies; the kind, peg selling, fortune telling families that once used to roam the English countryside in ornate horse drawn caravans and set up on wastelands or commons??? If so, judging by the state of art mobile homes they own now - I might just go into the peg selling business! How has England degenerated into a country that allows these people to descend en masse to wherever they want to set up camp, with such impunity and total disrespect for the law? Daft.....it is bloody ridiculous! Without wishing to deflect from other threads on this Forum discussing the merits or otherwise of elected leaders and the influence of the EU; it would appear that people currently in power only have their own interests and/or kow tow to European dictates. Persons should be elected that have the interests of ENGLAND at heart and the backbone and balls to do something about the issues facing the country. There....that was my tuppenorth!

DAVIDW 1,681 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Doubt you will get any of these selling pegs . Looking at the vans I would say they are the ones that want to sell you new guttering and facia boards etc . At inflated prices . The pick up trucks are usually tree loppers or scrap metal collectors or driveway renewal . Probably come over from S. Ireland for the summer . My sister lives over there and says many of them register for benefits under different names to collect multiple payouts . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
