Don’t normally get involved with General or post but feel compelled on this one. Having lived quiet near to Dale Farm for some 30 years up until 2004, today’s load of legal "do goody" crap makes my blood boil. I’d send in the SAS; kill the stupid activist who chose to put her life at risk by concreting herself to the gate, if she dies then tough. Deport the rest of them (who probably aren’t British anyway), destroy the vans/prefabs & bang up for as long as possible any “travellers” that won’t comply with laws that everyone else is obliged to. An added benefit will probably be that the local crime rate will dramatically drop as a consequence.
Then I’d “seriously” contaminate the site so they won’t want to move back again once it’s all quietened down because that’s what is going to happen. I’m not convinced that’s not an agreed agenda anyway; "planning honour" would be satisfied, the “travellers" get another 20 years & it’s another £100, 000,000 up the bloody spout. The UK is just a soft touch when it comes to crap like this, even their homeland doesn’t!
