A group of these questionable characters has moved themselves down to the Fruit Farm at Faversham where I work over thye weekend. Our site Manager has been working overtime to get the correct paperwork to have them evicted last few days. Well with news from the Police reaching us that there were several more (Up to 25 more caravans massing nearby) they employed a security card & bought a huge chain & lock to secure the gates at night.
This morning the cheeky buggers had cut the chain & put one of their own on & demanded £1,000 to unlock it. Needless to say the owner was not having any of it called the police & bolt cutted their chain. It's now getting interesting as these Gyppos are roaming the site starting water fights in the courtyard nicking fruit from the businesses below & generally being a pain until either they are evicted by police or worse these 25 Caravans make it in one night before this eviction takes place.
Cannot say I am too happy of having my car parked 100 yards away from them whilst I am at work all day, but it seems the law protects them from being forcibly removed if anyone was brave enough to try that. As the guy said in the film Snatch 'I F****in hate Pikey's'....

Whilst I wouldn't condone wilful victimisation of any strata of society it is a sad indictment of socialist Britain that decent, hardworking people have no right to protect their property.
What happened to "An Englishman's home is his Castle?"
Oh, I know. England no longer exists as it has been chopped into a number of regions in a larger country called EU.
Sad, sad, sad.
Another lot have moved onto that grass verge on Staplehurst Road again... the last lot only moved on about a week ago!!!! The old bill were there when the gypo's were setting up camp, but did feck all about it...
A public enquiry ruled in our favour in August 2006 and they were given a ' YEAR' (yes, a whole year ) to move out and restore the land to its previous state . Needless to say they did nothing and they were eventually prosecuted in the magistrates court , where they were found not guilty because they argued, 'that they couldnt move out because they were landlocked and would be committing trespass if they did' . Unbelieveably the judge threw out the case .
An appeal ensued , which was successful and they were prosecuted again last month . This time ,they were found guilty of not complying to a court order and they were fined ...................£150.
You couldn't make this up , but its true .
The residents have paid thousands of pounds to pursue this action and they are still there ........nearly 4 years later.
Try to put up a garden shed without council permission and sevenoaks council would be on you like a ton of bricks and you would end up in jail .
You front them front them all.
Anyone who has had the "pleasure" of meeting these lovely one man/woman crime waves will not be surprised by any of this...
With what they get away with, they must be Freemasons or something.
You don't need to be a mason when you have the Human Rights Act 1998 and legal aid!!
A few years ago (under the Tories), they repealled it/altered the law bringing temporary Gypsie sites under normal planning laws. This has resulted in the feet dragging delays you now see.
I lived in a village which for years had gypsies camped with in it. Residents who lived close were subject to some nuisance from the mess created and the use of their garden hoses etc. I was attacked by some of the kids including being threatened with a knife.
It was an extremely challenging time and tempers amongst local residents reached boiling point with people threatening to form vigilante style groups to "evict" them. In the end, I'd like to think that common sense prevailed. There was a local Tory councillor - indeed it was a Tory Council. The residents let it be known that they would enmasse, either abstain or vote for the other guy if a solution wasn't found. All of a sudden with a week or so to go before an election, the council suddenly found which them a piece of derelict land about a mile away from where anybody lived and although there was a huge mess created, it was largely "out of sight, out of mind". Problem solved. It's the old adage "if you've got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow".
Despite the aggro that I personally had with some of the Gipsy youth I don't believe that they should be made to be outcast and I hate generalisations as I was talking from specific experience, but it's the trap into which you appear to have fallen. During the time we had Gipsies living in our community, the council decided that the kids should receive an education as is their right. Our local primary school was asked to take them. You will not believe the animosity this caused with the most outrageous claims being made that somehow these kids were the embodiment of evil and disease. Parents kept their kids off. I am proud that my parents sent my sister and I to school as normal.
My grand parents lived next to one of the real old famous pikeys Levy Lee . They were OK and he even took my grand dad to hospital in his car when he was ill and the ambalance was taking to long.
If you read any of their history you will know they look on anyone not a pikey as a "mark" and its ok to knock us.
One thing they aint is stupid. They have understood civil law for many many years. They understand planning law and the micro loop holes in all of em. I hate the Human Rights act as we operate it in the UK , but it has little to do with what pikeys may or may not do. Its just another tool for them to use.
As for the old bo**ox of they have nowhere to go . That truely is a joke. So why would they want an actual set place, with a postal address. Where the tax man or the benefit fruad office or thelocal government tax office can come knocking. Much easier not to "exist" untill you have to.
can't comment of those of the roaming variety as i've never come across any.
Those fun loving 'travellers' really enhance the local when they pitch up down the road, or if you're really lucky the football pitches behind you're mum and dads place.
Then once they leave as some others who have had the pleasure of them as neighbours describe the field which once only had a mild smattering of dog dirt is smothered with knackered generators, human shit, bits of caravan and car, dead animals, and general rubbish.
I know a few settled/ex/former gypsies and fair one I see where you're coming from but pikeys are something else.
Delightful house for sale in Crockenhill
What's with the decor?!
on way home from work rubbish already started to spread about.
They played a tape of one of the accused saying that they were being accused of robbery because of 'racism' against gypsies, and that they were all innocent guv'nor etc.
They then played the tape of them talking about going on the rob. On a TV documentary a year earlier.
You're right. Some of them are very savvy. But obviously not all of them!
