Re: When is a traveller not a Traveller?
 

Well, assuming they don't want to go legit, there are a few ways around the problem (at least with Electricity).

1) Connect the supply to a convenient local source, such as a local house, business or even street light. This is both illegal and dangerous, but I daresay they've been done at least once, whether by travellers or not.

2) Use generators.

It wouldn't surprise me actually. They've been known in the past to supply services to other sorts of squatters.

I assume that was directed at me ,and unless you have been living in a box then you would know that crime rates generally take an upturn whenever travellers are in the area ,but since you want some evidence here you go

Re: When is a traveller not a Traveller?
 

Would you like a list of non-travellers who are criminals? I'll hazard a guess at which list will be longer.

Are you seriously trying to correlate the two events? Gypsies get put away and as a result the crime rates plummet? :geez:

Re: When is a traveller not a Traveller?
 

I'm a realist. There are plenty of gypsies / travellers who are perfectly law abiding but a significant number do get involved in criminality. It's also pretty much a given when an bunch of caravans appear the crime rate for shopliftings, theft of metals, criminal damage and bogus workmen spike and remain higher till they move on.

That might offend the muesli eating, sandal wearers in the audience but it happens to be the truth.

Re: When is a traveller not a Traveller?
 

nevermind 20 million + eviction, send a few jcb's and bulldoze the place regardless of weather or not they move out, these people are vermin.

if things get out of hand with the bulldozing, send the flying squad!

Re: When is a traveller not a Traveller?
 

If you could put it in terms of % per population, that would be much better please.

Very harsh.

But I'm not a hypocrite, if a band of travellers turned up in field next me, I'd be in the first JCB
