If you've been woken up in the early morning with loud bangs and helicopters, this is why.

You will probably have the same tomorrow.

Yours sincerely,

Concerned in Southampton.

I expect this is Star Lane? One of the biggest Travellers sites in the country and a cause of much pain and suffering to the good people of St Mary's Cray.

I was going to post this on the BBC thread but it is relevant to here

Trust the BBC to be impartial here is a fine example of this, a well balanced report

Ah, every traveller is the same. Newark and Orpington. Yup, and every white man is a bigot.

My nieces are Travellers

I hate much of what some Travellers Do, fly tipping, dog stealing, agricultural machinery theft and fighting. I’m really pleased the Police are finally taking on some of the criminals.

I am just not stupid enough to believe they are all the same.

My issue is that Travellers appear to be a protected group with the media. I don't like generalising about groups but when was the last time you saw a drama on TV where the vilians were travellers?

The TV drama is a group of travellers move into an area and crime starts happening, the finger is pointed at the travellers unfairly and eventually the culprit is unmasked as a local and we all learn a life lesson about prejudice.

That is fair enough to a point but I don't remember seeing many dramas where they are actually guilty so there is no balance.

Rant over.

I am sure you are correct. It’s the tax avoidance, destruction of countryside and total disregard for others property I can not abide. Always on local news down here, especially with the death of the Police Officer

Out here in SK there is a sizeable Roma Gypsy community & its where the police spend most of the time dealing with Crime.

You'll find 3rd world shanty towns and derelict soviet tower blocks all over Slovakia, now these blocks were not always like this, Slovak governments over the years have spent an absolute fortune renovating these blocks with everything and then allowing the Roma people to move in only for the homes (within hours) to be stripped of absolutely anything of worth & sold off.
Its not uncommon for Roma families to simply pour their toilet waste, food waste etc right out the window onto the floor below, one such story that made the news recently here was a dead baby tipped out the window with a bucket of s***.

Its f***ing grim, many Roma's do integrate, join the army etc and create a life for themselves, Slovaks by and large appreciate what they had to overcome and are fully accepted into society however many hold onto their culture no matter how bleak it makes their future & are utterly despised.

Think I am exaggerating? take a look at Lunik 9 [Link] (ignore the crap music)

Sorry but this is ludicrous. It is the vast majority of Travellers who commit huge amounts of anti-social crime and behaviour. Just the very nature of setting up homes on land without planning permission is 'anti-social'. Essentially imposing themselves on local communities without abiding by the same rules as everybody else.

Time and time again we see it. As a group they bring more misery and unhappiness to the UK population than any other definable section of our society.

I would put the figure as high as 90% of Travellers are actively involved in criminal activity.

The gypsies at the mini roundabout here between Banstead and Carshalton are okay, although they don’t travel and have an interest in community cohesion and a good Christmas tree business going on and you don’t know how that works. Another experience with gypsies was pretty horrendous for someone. Drive tarmac price agreed, price inflated as job is finished, threatened to burn the house down if it wasn’t paid in full. On a single, vulnerable person as expected.

What is it with people like you?

How many travellers have to be criminals before you accept that we would be better off without all of them?
20%? 30%? 70%?

You do not live in the real world.

I never gave them a huge amount of thought until a coked up car full of them threatened my son, daughter, my wife, son in law and a couple of other family members for no reason at all a few years back. They were gone by the next morning but had we not been able to show the better part of valour at the time to protect everyone, it would have got very ugly.

These people have no decency and the law doesn't want to deal with them.

Group did several driveways in my road, mainly belonging to pensioners. Overpriced and awful workmanship. One elderly lady was unable to open her garage door as level of bricks to high, they refused to rectify so neighbours had to do it. All the other drives look s***.
