The reason that the overwhelming majority of people are pleased to see the eviction go ahead is not because they are prejudiced against travellers but because they are prejudiced against people who don't recognise the rule of law.

Their female spokesperson for the travellers was happy enough with the judicial process when the High Court allowed a stay of execution a few weeks back. When they exhausted their legal remedies, they showed their true colours: erecting barricades, stock-piling weapons, hurling bricks in the faces of law enforcement personnel, whingeing when those same personnel used taser to defend themselves, and encouraging anarchists to help them with their dirty work.
And as for the £18 million which the eviction might cost. This is not money which Basildon Council has squandered; it's money they would like to have spent on other much needed public services but couldn't because they had to uphold the law. The travellers themselves, by their refusal to negotiate and refusal to obey the law, have forced the Council spend this money. I have the greatest sympathy for the long suffering residents of Crays Hill, the tax payers of Basildon and any other community forced to endure the scourge of lawless anti-social travellers and the cost of their removal.
If travellers want rights, they must first recognise the existence of obligations, first and foremost the obligation to obey the law. Then maybe those who voted so overwhelmingly in the poll for their eviction to go ahead, may start to accord them the same respect given to other minority groups.

As for this 'culturally appropriate' housing charade, this is the UK. Here, we have British culture, seeing as this is Britain (funny how that works, isnt it...but appears to completely mystify some characters) and if people want some other sort of culture, maybe they should avail themselves of their total freedom to bugger off and locate it, wherever it is.
We are under no obligation to offer anything special, tailor-made etc., to anyone at all.
When you have earned enough money to arrange your life as you feel you'd like it, then that's one thing. Some people thnk that it is their right to demand, free of charge, any damn thing they can dream up, at no personal cost whatsoever.
Such people are known as piss takers.
I must also ask why is it that the Police are ostracised for carrying out a very difficult task not of their making, whilst the protestors, who started the violence, are not even mildly rebuked?
These protestors and occupiers were told quite clearly by the Courts that what they were doing was against the laws of this Country. There may well be other issued regarding what the Council has, or has not, done and it's responsibilities. That is a matter of Civil Law and not within the Police remit. What happened to good old common sense and justice being exhibited by these protestors?

Rufugees? Sod 'em!

Why do the supposed ‘refugees’ want to settle in the UK?
Perhaps it's because of the very generous benefit system of hand-outs, the unlikelihood of being tortured by the state and the freedom to live your life as you wish within reason (unlike that you would experience under the heavy sandal of Islam).
Or maybe it's just the absent smell of open sewers.
If you don't like it you know where you can go.
The real hypocrisy here is of those people and cultures that come to our charitable shores, try to make it as primitive and oppressive as it was in the place they came from and then complain that they don't like it.
It all makes me wonder if gratitude and altruism are uniquely western cultural norms.

Thought for the day!

So they want to stick gruesome images on cigarette packs..??
Why not pictures of starving children on McDonald's packaging..?
Why not tortured animals on cosmetics products..?
Why not put the photos of the victims of drunken drivers, on beer and wine bottles..?
Why not pictures of dishonest, thieving Politicians enjoying our money, on tax returns..?
