- Dermot O'Leary presents this documentary that tries to bring peace between two waring neighbours.
In this episode the local community is at breaking point with travellers coming through Essex causing a HUGE nuisance in the area, bringing more robberies and antisocial behaviour to the community.
Jacobson's from Canada wanted a countryside upbringing with their 5 boys in Kent but the Gray family moved next door a year later caused a bitter relationship between the households, which was once a friendly community.

The other side of the fence next to the site was absolutely covered in trash! They may keep their caravans clean and tidy but they don’t have the same respect for the land outside their sites.. and that rubbish clearly left by them proves it!
5 seconds in - one side so proud of how clean their home is but all dumped over the fence !
out of sight out of ...
I wonder if the colonial lives next to the caravans?.
@@carlmcvey6451 what do KFC have to do with this?
@shotgunhouse1 those Travellers are lovely people, all travellers are! They're much more civilized and good hearted people than 99% of non traveller UK citizens (especially people from Essex 🤮)and that's not even debatable. Those people should consider themselves lucky to have travellers as their neighbors, they will help crack down on crime and probably even help raise property values. I bet all that garbage belongs to that bugger Len anyways, disgusting pigman that he is...
do we have proof that rubbish is dumped by the travellers? no we have a man who hates them saying it was,any area where travellers live is always a place where fly tippers dump as they know travellers will be blamed, same goes from crime
10 caravans illegally stayed on our local park for a week. They left trash, broken down trees and human faces with toilet paper all over. No wonder people don't like them. It was disgusting
I just do not understand how they get away with it. If you or I parked our caravan in a public place or put up a tent, we would be moved on that day, if we fought it our stuff would be impounded, but for some reason these people get treated with kid gloves.
Dirty filthy free loading bastards who need to learn some respect. Simple as that.
They love to Live in shit, dart, live like Rats really
Why are they such scumbags? I mean you do not need to go to state school to learn basic manners.
It's their dirty habits and refusal to treating with respect that annoys me. They disrupt communities with some entitlement.
"why can't we just be settled and have a bit of comfort in life" Perhaps if instead of stealing land and utilities you paid your way like everyone else is expected to, buy/rent a house, pay taxes, pay water rates and contribute to the system that you're using... until you do, you have no right whatsoever to complain.
Everyone pays rates and tax. That’s a common misconception. Every plot on every site you see pays rates and tax. Therefore the local councils would be better off building proper sites and providing the proper facilities for them. Better for the community, better for them, better for the coffers. Areas local to traveller sites nearly all enjoy lower crime rates than other places in the UK. That’s a fact, surprisingly enough.
@@jeffweaseldinky1463why would the council build them homes/sites, they can’t even house the rest of the uk
@@mikeyacson9542 Every traveller on every site pays rates and taxes, same as everybody else. That is a fact whether you like it or you don’t. The travellers you see that are pushed from pillar to post without being allowed a place to stay or a moments peace, what should they pay taxes for exactly? They receive no facilities, no waste disposal, they are banned from entering dumps in a van. They are unable to register with a GP so receive no health care. They are unable to receive benefits or any help. They are unable to register their children in a school. Are you completely backwards or does your bigoted, racist mind cloud your vision to allow for the hatefulness in you. Personally the way they are treated I don’t blame them for showing you and those like you zero respect. You get what you give …
@@jeffweaseldinky1463 They pay when they decide to take over farmers land? Same with playing fields? Car Parks? Nature reserves? And do they pay to have it cleaned up after they leave their shit and nappies everywhere? Why should the council pay to build stuff for them when all they do is ruin neighbourhoods.... your crime figures also seem to be selected from your favoured sources because when they took over an old industrial estate near me the crime soared and house prices dropped....
What a stupid comment. Beyond your brainwashing, the base fact is, EVERYONE deserves land and a home. And we shouldn't have to pay to have that. It's a necessity and a right. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an absolute idiot.
"now your in a gypsys house do ya still tink we are scum and filt?!" camera pans to all the rubbish and scrap thrown outside their trailers that surrounds this mans property.... Yes Kathleen, i do still think that.
Kathleen didn't take any responsibility, just denied everything in spite of it being pointed out in front of her face, made personal insults, refused to admit anything. the whole site was surrounded by crap theyd thrown over the fence
Plant a bunch of poison ivy and poison oak
Irish troublemakers.
How obvious was it that she was bare face lying about paying council tax when the guy asked her? There's no way they could pay council tax on a temporary site. They are not part of the rubbish collection route for that reason.
The woman is such a fake and has a very nasty entitled attitude.
Exactly..if you want things to change between you and the town u are " visiting",its in your own interest to " fit in",therefore you cant deny what's in front of your own eyes,we ALL saw it,the stinking rubbish and blocked drains..every one wants to be accepted in life,and there are ways to go about it .lady,face up to it..and do something about it,instead of denying it
Working up in North Wales a few years ago, a load of them moved onto farmers field, the farmer asked them to leave, usual response from them, about hour later farmer turned up with a slurry tanker, sprayed the lot of them, caravans and trucks,moved within 5 mins.
I am surprised the farmer did not get his head kicked in.
@@donniet685 As a farmer he probably would have had a 12 bore handy.
BRILLIANT 😂😂😂😂😂
I need to see the video
Travellers will never change . Don't respect ordinary civil rules Watched them since was a young girl in Kent
My experience with travellers: 1. 3 years ago they smashed the fence to private land (green field) at opposite side of the street, parked there 11 caravans, doing parties till early hours in the morning (involving alcohol, teenagers and even littlem kids). Council managed to get ride of them after about 3 weeks, they left majority of that area covered in all sort of rubbish (dirrty nappies, broken glass, cans, food waste). 2. Few months ago 3 caravans parked at car park belonging to local train station just behind my child's nursery, when I was walking through car park I was attacked by 2 aggressive dogs "protecting" them. My feelings to travellers are obvious.
Sadly, that's the only approach that will have any impact with many travellers. When they understand that they're going to be dealt with by _people,_ not the law, they'll clear out.
@@robashton8606Very tactfully said! 👍
@robashton8606 are you crazy if you go on a gypsy camp and threaten people you'd get punched up off the whole site
Scum these😢
They are the victims remember because the crooks in power want to attack law abiding citizens.
So in conclusion, that guy had to give up some of his land, still gets the sewerage problem, noise and and fly tipping. Great job lol.
If people are honest, no one would want to live next to this site
Bob needs to live next door before he tries to negotiate. Posh knob who’s looking for his 5 minutes of fame.

Kathleen is just not having it, so closed minded. She knows exactly its their shit thats been dumped, doesnt take any resonsibility for anything.
But she said 'we have dignity and respect'!! Funny really
Can't believe he had to essentially give up half of his garden that are part of his property!
What a ridiculous peace agreement.
I heard it as a mental fence rather than a physical fence so he would stop getting annoyed by something he can't stop.
I had the same thought but if he wasn't happy with this measure he could have said no ,it also looked as though he wasn't a keen gardener so may be the thought that if this is what it takes to keep some kind of peace then its worth it .I would have been more upset with the sewage not being sorted ,I guess that may have to be done by the council as he's only got a cesspit .As for the rubbish may be a few large green bins put around the camp site may help with dealing with the problem.
Traditional Giypies are clean and don't leave rubbish around ,travelers on the other hand have know respect for the law or the land ,people tend to call them gypsies when they really aren't
I totally agree. It is HIS land, why should he give up any amount of it, physically or mentally. The disregard for others of these gypsies is astounding. Not just there, but all over the country. And the law is an ass regarding the illegal caravans. What's the point in saying they are illegal when nobody can do anything about it. The gypsies know this and are laughing all the way. DISGUSTING
Her ignorance and denial is everything thats wrong with them
See the small children giving the middle finger to the camera - - - great parenting
I have seen first hand the absolute abhorrent state these people leave in their wake. Squatting anywhere and calling it a toilet. Kids under 10 " offering" to protect your vehicles which were in no danger until they got there. How do they afford these caravans when they don't work?

We lived in a small town in Essex and the council created a Traveller site just outside. The wooden seat (not cheap) in our front garden was taken during the night, as was our neighbour’s. The Police told us that they steal to order so that whoever had taken them would have moved them on and without proof they couldn’t do anything about it. However, they did say not to put expensive items on show as there had been Traveller companies carrying out roofing etc in the area. BtW, we were burgled a few weeks later
@angusnotsoyoung2925 They'll go get a Bully dog
Several years ago a group of travellers made the mistake of pulling on to a piece of land adjacent to one of my local areas more 'savoury' council estates,a local gangsta type chappie informed them that they weren't welcome because of situations involving their ilk and local residents in other parts of the city and that there may be 'negative' consequences for staying more than a night within the vicinity of the estate,they took note,left the following day and the message must have travelled through their community as this situation hasn't arisen since.
how delightful, a settled person proud of their local "gangsta" ( drug dealing,arms, sex trade, just common burglary or a mix of all 4?) you seem to have not heard the phrase "pot calling the kettle black"

@@BossySwanagreed, you need to “talk” to them in the language they understand.

how could she not at least accept there was rubbish dumped all over the place
Because she has that typical gypsy mentality. Always complaining, playing the victim and leaving the trash for the others to clean. Repeat.
Wot else can we do unless we dump it on your garden
@@xhitmanhardyx6709 Pay for rubbish collection companies to come pick it up.

Kathleen wants her way! Throw the shit out the door and over the fence!
This is the most reasonable comment in this slurry of racist commenters.
It seems like she was purely in defence mode. TBF, the guy she's speaking with said he would let traveller children burn in a fire, so I don't think I'd give him an inch to work with either.
I don't think this negotiator did a great job at getting them to see eye-to-eye.
As an engineer for Highways England on one long term site has in one year fifteen machines stole from the site. All on CCTV.
All vans that arrive to steal are unregistered. Night security are unsafe. One security put in hospital.
It is appalling.
Something to be said about firearms...when your political members, police, council, do not do the jobs they are suppose to do...then the citizens must take care of themselves, and protect themselves,...this is why Americans will not give up our guns, fight or not!

@@oldbatwit5102we don't laugh at them. Only utter fools like us would let ourselves be ruled unarmed.
Obviously you need security guards not pussies
I think the negotiator needs a refresher course if he thinks this has been successful, kathleen refused to take an ounce of responsibility even when given a birds eye view of the fly tipping or sewage , it seems as long as their filth isnt on their perceived land, it's no longer their problem and sod everyone else. The 4 point plan , 1 being that Len has to fence of part of his own land so he doesnt have to look at the travellers , just means he wont get to see the influx of fly tipping thats going to happen behind it . Ridiculous solution. Love to see a follow up 6 mths from now.
Kathleen's wig is something else!
😂
Goes up in a helicopter,sees a shit load of dumped crap and says "What rubbish?" Cognitive dissonance alive and well.
Scum the lot of them
😂😊
3rd time in last few yrs. Gypsies have gone on the only little bit of land l own. This time they were using it for their horses. Also the hedge was cut down one side. My son had to threaten poisoning the field before they would move them. We got sick of asking them. They were buying or stealing horses and selling them and using my field as a home for them. They've got cheek for anything. And police are scared.
Those knackers horses actually ate your grass ?!
You’re right.. the plod are terrified of them .. criminals in general these days! They prefer an old lady breaking covid restrictions… or mean tweeters who upset grown adults!
They're scummy. They'll keep them horses on a car parking spot on a council estate or anywhere they can. If you don't want them back maybe post signs saying that there's poison in your field and poisonous plants. Or if they dump horses again maybe let them out and report them as abandoned animals.
A few years ago I was leaving an estate, after I got into my car a small traveller child kept running around my car, he was about 7 or 8 ..... I repeatedly asked him to be careful. He said, if you hit me with your car, il get money. I was shocked, because it was like he was trying to run into the car. I had to just sit there and not move, this went on, for about an hour.
A few years ago an illegal camp left one of the residents in my area, disabled from a traveller running him down then reversing back over him. The travellers knew they had gone too far so set 1 of their caravans on fire. They then professed him being run down was an accident, provoked by a small group of residents trying to get stolen bikes back, who fire bombed the caravan with the family inside...it was lucky they got out 🤥 What was lucky was that they were not believed, but only 1 traveller was jailed, the rest vanished into the ether when the camp moved on. 🙏🕊️
friend of mine was killed in a hit and run by them, of course they were not caught.
They’re full of righteous indignation but totally ignore the fact that they are there illegally. Don’t pay anything towards the upkeep or infrastructure. And good old Kathleen throwing out the Hitler insult.
Did she say she knew adolf? How old is this doco?😁😁
Kathleen has a pretty clear Irish accent. What is she doing in Essex?
She has not got an Irish accent, its mixed.
88 thumbs up
@@Mercmadthat is just what I thought
As soon as you get Travellers anywhere there is trouble, crime and legal battles which cost everyone except the Travellers.
They use violence and intimidation as a way of life.
And even before they leave they create piles of crap and rubbish. And no one asks them how they get their money for these huge caravans, vans and big cars.
They're just the travellers you see
Edit : that's like, maybe 0.5% of Irish travellers. There's alot, ALOT, alot of different people living a travelling life that you DON'T see !

They’re not travelers, they’re squatters.
@@ricochet2977 Gypsies is the correct term.
@@ricochet2977Thier scum
Good travels are good but scum gets everywhere now unfortunately
In my town there was a situation only last year where travellers set up on a popular piece of land with a public outdoor swimming pool and adjacent to a leisure centre. They were using the public pool to not only bathe in but also proven they we’re using the same pool as a toilet. It cost a small fortune to clean up the area after they left ( of their own accord ) . They don’t seem to understand that WITHOUT the filth, the intimidation, the rise in crime when they’re present , the damage to public property and the fear they cause locals to feel people wouldn’t mind their presence.
I used to live in the Hampshire countryside, there was a small lake a used to fish just off the main road, great to fish and have a walk round, i would say in was a hidden gem, until the travelers illegally moved on to a farmers field next to it, filled the lake with fridges ,freezers and there own rubbish. No respect for anyone, and they wonder why there hated
Len shouldnt have to put up a fence within his own property, the travellers should respect the boundary thats already there
Len shouldn’t have to put up a fence on his property but he is willing to compromise so he can feel less anger and have more peace within himself. He is the bigger Man.
Absolutely, because what will happen, is that they will consider that 'no man's land' to belong to nobody, and they will just fill it with their sh!te.
What Len should do, is raise the height of his EXISTING boundary, with an electric fence, topped with Razor wire, to a height of say, 20 feet, so they can't throw mattresses and old kids bikes over the top.
Of course, he will need to place warning signs on THEIR side, so they know it's electrified. Then the travellers can build their own cordon, within THEIR site, to stop their little cherubs being frazzled to death, because that could be rather unsightly in itself.
@@dyanstoutenburg9974 You're right, of course. But my concern would be that the travellers will see this 'no man's land' as a strip of land where they CAN just dump their crap, and because it is still within Len's boundary, he will still remain responsible for clearing it up.
It's all well and good telling Len not to be "so fixated" on the issue, but when the mattresses, old sofas, and spent gas canisters begin to build up, then it is just compounding the already existing issue.
I guess we will see how things work out in time. I hope they can live harmoniously, with mutual respect. But I fear this "ceasefire" will be short lived.
The way that guy was driving slowly in his van next to the fence was meant to intimidate, even though Len was on his own land. So we shall see how long this 'Entante Cordiale' lasts I suppose.
Absolutely agree. I commented about this exact thing. No way would I ever lose a plot of my land, and the associated equity attributed to it, for anybody. They should have put 'no man's land ' on the Camp side or made the Tinkers ( I refuse to call them Romani or Gypsy, they're not!!) buy the land off him!
@@hermanmunster3358 Love it 😂😂😂 👍 Perfect solution for Len
Is this woman for real? The laws apply to them too. I have seen plenty of empty vandalised houses where the residents were encircled and forced out of their homes. That’s not fair. If they want campsites they should be away from houses. The ignorance is astounding.
I don't think those TV producers and army veteran really understand travellers. You can't reason with them and they don't do compromise. They're only satisfied when their needs are met. In the end, the travellers got what they wanted and the poor bloke had to give up part of his land.
FINALLY. A programme with a man that gets things done .....
I wish they would publish Bob's contat details so we could ALL solve our issues worldwide LOL.
Can't imagine my granpa walking around with a beanie.
They want running water, constant electricity and to educate their kids and live with the luxuries that “everyone else gets” yet they want to contribute ZERO towards it.
As someone who is from the travelling community i can only apologize for the abhorrent behavior in this video by these travellers. We are not all bad and do clean up after ourselves. Its just the large minority who believe that because they dont pay council tax and 'dont have a fixed adress' they can do what they like
We arnt all like that and im sorry x
i know of a house in cardiff that the council allowed a gippo camp to be put right next to. the owner ended up taking the council to court as his house was worth nothing. Council forced to pay his asking price and demolish the house. taxpayers money at work.
doubt if thats exactly true you cannot use "my house price has gone down" as a lawfull reason for the refusal of a gypsy site,also the term you use can be liable for prosecution under the race hate act

A number of years ago now , a local garage not far from me had major problems with travellers invading their land . The garage was based down a country lane , with fields attached to it .
The travellers had been asked to stay out of there fields which the garage had use of , but of course , they refused to listen ,& pretty much told the owner and his dad's to f&ck off .
However the owners dad was a man who had gone through world wars , hard times of struggling to build a business , and numerous family problems to overcome . He strolled back into his house , came back out a short while later armed with an old shotgun that he legally held , and blew the ariel and other bits off the roof of the main culprits caravan .
The result was , the travellers , who had illegally invaded his land , called the police . They turned up very quickly , and said to the garage owners dad , this is a serious allegation ..To which he replied , I'm an old man who hasn't got time for playing . If I get put in prison I won't last long , so what would you have done .
I believe at that point the police cautioned him , took away the old shotgun . And left it at that .the travellers never returned to the field .
Sadly , the garage has been closed down now , due to corrupt project known as HS2. And much off the area , inc lovely field and farmlands , have been swallowed up by this carbuncle in the UK countryside,
But it took billions and billions off pounds of investment , and lots of corrupt politicians to finally take over the garage . Certainly not some parasite in a caravan , who had no respect for a hard working man who fought for his country .
That bloody train track . Poor bloke . Bur at least he didn't let them take the piss. They don't know the meaning of using a litter bin or rubbish tip
Thank you for that Slice of Life. Cheers from the USA
Well said bless you 🤝🙏✌️
When i lived in Derby in the late 90s, travellers set up camp in a disused petrol station. I used to have tk walk past it lost days for my commute to and from work.
Crime increased in the area. (I was in a relationship with a special constable at the time and he was aware of their shenanigans.
They stole a care and dumped itnon the pavement. They entered out garden and stole one of his motobikes. One was a Ducati that was cery wrll secured but they managed to rake the other one. All this occured while we were in the home watching tv.
We both went outside for a ciggy and noticed his bike was gone. He knew the areas to look. We took a walk and found his bike dumped in a a secluded are off road.
Travellers stuck together therebis no reasoning with them.
They caused havoc locally. Funny how things settled down when they left the area. The state they left that disused garage was disgusting. Dirty nappies strewn, gas cylinders (not sure if they were full or not) bags of rubbish and damage done to th3 fencing. Dirty filthy scum.
I was glad when the effed off and i k ow may of the locals were too.
They lived worse than pigs so why do theu expect respect to live like that and make decent people's lives a misery.
Funny how less crime occured and there were less car frome and garden break ins when the scum effed off. Good riddance to the theiving gits.
Another example of travellers' disgusting behaviour is when i worked at at a product supplier company not long ago. I won't name the company or product.
The wiole street was full of travellers and on multiple occasions drovers were threstened with physical abuse and were swore at. Due to keeping the drivers safez this particular road was banned from having any of the company's product delivered.
Some residents phoned and complained. Some were actually apologetic and were diagusted by those who abused the drivers. Them others called and were also verybabusive over the phone.
Travellers who are ok are affected by those who are violent gobby idiots. That's why I am not keen on travellers. I experienced a pattern of behaviour and I do not like them. Their own fault. They are abusive and defensive.
funny how calling someone scum doesn't make them act respectfull isn't it,odd that one? make no mistake, how you feel about them is exactly how they feel about you,they cannot believe how filthy the settled community is and how low the morals are and this makes it very very easy for the more criminally minded part of the traveller community to treat you like the fools they think you are,helping themselves to everything you hold dear,you have no respect for them they have zero respect for you (and your things)
I worked for a local council, the travellers had a plot of land with a funded building with hot and cold water.. no surprise they stole all the copper pipes & hot water tanks weekly. 😂
My husbands operation was delayed as travellers stole the generator wires 😡
Bloody hell, even when trying to compromise with these thieves, they offer no peace. Even when we’re going out of our way to “accommodate” them, this is how they treat our efforts.
The trouble with "travelers" is they don't so much travel as settle and too often they they settle where it isn't allowed. Travelers try to have it both ways they want the freedom from responsibility of a free wheeling traveling lifestyle but also enjoy the benefits of a more settled lifestyle . They need to make their minds up because they can't have both.
its illegal to travel in England and yet to be classed as a gypsy or traveller in the UK you have to spend some of the year travelling,it seems its the law thats trying to have it both ways,human rights for ALL of us mean we have a right to water,healthcare and education, gypsies aren't asking for anything different from what you have,you have a right to live in a home as your ethnic heritage as part of the settled community,they have a right to live in caravans as their ethnic heritage,its as simple as that.
@@stevenwallacebaker9169 ,"its illegal to travel in England" what law states its illegal to travel in England - I know of no such law. "we have a right to water,healthcare and education," Where are these "rights" documented ? People always think they have all sorts of rights that don't actually exist. I might have water etc but I pay for all those things - I also pay Council tax for other services like refuse collection and road maintenance. Do travelers pay for all those services?
@@stevenwallacebaker9169it is not illegal to travel in England and to be classed as a traveller is to come from a traveling heritage. As for the settled community having the right to live in a home that is not true. Payment is required to live in a home, no payment no home and that also apply to those who live on static caravan parks. We pay income tax, national insurance and have to pay for planning permission and comply with building regulations.
@@alanzee_ where are these right documented? erm the human rights act !!the right to clean water,the right of access to health care and education are all basic human rights ,this does not mean these things have to be provided to you just that barriers cannot be legally put in your way to prevent you accessing them,its not my fault you dont understand the human rights act.Travellers pay for all the things they have,council tax is rated on the value of your property,as a caravan is not valuable in relation to a home,its rated band A, usually about 150 per month,this is liable if the traveller has a permanent stopping place,almost all do,they have to travel to be legally defined as a traveller under Uk legislation.This then gives them refuse collections ect.All other "services" you have travellers have to provide for themselves, you pay a service cost as you are getting a service they are not,heating, cooking is usually LPG,its 3x the cost of natural gas,electric is by generator,petrol,oil servicing ect all make this easily double the price of on grid electric and water has to be bought in ltr bottles for drinking and found,taps in cemetaries ect involving a massive amount of work and heavy lifting.Im not going into the legally of travel in England as its complex and you clearly dont even understand the human rights act so that will be too much for you
@@stevenwallacebaker9169But they're quite lax in sending their children to school. When they do go, many drop out, some even before they reach the teens. This is especially so of the girls, who are expected to stay & take care of the caravan, and then to marry at an extremely early age.

The simple solution is to move Bob into Lens house for 6 months - once his jeep has been stolen and he has been abused every day by the youths he will have a more rounded view to help with his negotiations
It's not that simple because the travellers aren't stupid enough to do anything too bad while he's there - they will know he has to leave at some point and they have to make a reasonably good impression. Even if they did cause a ruckus, which TV network is going to commission a one-sided covert operation against a minority group? It will be labelled as discriminatory exploitative television in a heartbeat, just as Benefits Street was.
spot on .
word, that annoying toff wouldn't last 2 weeks there.
So right. He wouldn't be wearing that fekin stupid Frank Spencer beret so often then. "Red gas canisters on my driveway, shitey diapers on my windscreen what what? Oh those bothersome diddies, but they do have lovely clean caravans Whatwhat."
Yeah good old Bob want be so good if he lived next 2 them .ha

Mate I’m a traveler we don’t take over places, no one gives us a place to live like you people, how dare you be racist towards us people😡
I’ve lived in the area all my life. There are 2 camps 1 illegal & one legal provided by the council. The legal one i’ve never heard anyone say a word about. The ilegal one has got progressively worse over the last 30-40yrs.
What have i seen with my own eyes? Kids used for any type of crime mainly theft. Animal abuse & rubbish dumped in the countryside, including human waste. Threats, intimidation & jus downright horrible behaviour in general.
I’ve watched them go into restaurants & order & eat their meal. Then when the bill arrives claim they had nothing on it. Stealing industrial equipment from building sites. Conning old folks out of their savings, through various means for non existant gardening work. The only way to decribe them is an Irish Mafia. There’s good & bad in all communities, but as the travellers go these ain’t their best.
I lost a lot of sympathy for Travellers when those lads dragged that young policeman to his death - then laughed about it.
I didn’t know those boys were travellers. RIP PC Harper.
You do realise there are many, many settled people who have also murdered people, right?
By your logic, I should hate all men because one SA'd me in college. I should hate everyone in the UK because they were willing participants in the atrocities committed against the Irish and many other nations for hundreds of years. I should hate all women because Katie Hopkins is a woman. The reasoning doesn't make any sense?
You're all just willingly ignorant, and frankly, some people are just racist. The actions of one don't represent the many.
she is blind to everything on the travellers side.
she sees the rubbish and is angry that it has been pointed out to her.
I thought TRAVELLERS are supposed to TRAVEL.
Only when it suits them
@@elsestelema6273 That's true..
I'm definitely on the side of the home owners, those who are illegally on the site should be removed no matter how much they play up to the media. How many of these travellers actually pay council tax, I would suggest very few. They are not romany gypsies they are Irish tinkers nothing more nothing less
one side the legal side is English Romany the "illegal" side are Irish travellers,a recognised in law ethnic group same as Romany.
Been going on for centuries, though. Anybody who gets a subscription to a historical newspaper site - study the police reports from County Durham 150 years ago. Look at who was most getting arrested and for what. It's not a modern issue. It's possible the Irish blame(d) the English populace (rather than just the English political overlords) for the famine. It was not the fault of the ordinary citizenry, though. Why are we still getting victimised?
Slavery isn't a modern issue either. Still fucking rotten and wrong though isn't it. If you don't want to be victimised, sort your house out. Stop turning blind eyes to the scamming of the elderly. Pay your taxes. There isn't smoke without fire and no one suddenly just started disliking travellers. That dislike was WELL EARNED.@@batintheattic7293
Irish travellers are genetically distinct from the settled Irish. They are in fact a protected indigenous minority, having diverged from the regular Irish population in the 1600s, so whether you like it or not, they are not just "tinkers". Which is just a socially accepted racist slur. Many theories suggest they were made homeless due to of one of the many atrocities committed against the Irish people by the English govt.
The behaviour of these specific Travellers may be anti-social, but that is not an excuse to speak about all of them in such a derogatory way. FFS the homeowner said he'd be fine with traveller children dying in a burning house.... Innocent kids - over rubbish in his garden? Yet everyone is on his side? That's insane.
If you were hated by everyone just because of your mere existence, you'd probably act the fool too. Besides, there are many, many thugs and criminals in the settled population, and they get away with it all of the time. Again, this lot are just dumping rubbish. Reality check, because you're clearly sheltered - there are FAR worse people out there. Bear in mind, less than 0.1% of the UK population are Irish Travellers - so you can't have that many issues with the, compared to the average population.
Let face it, you're all just racist and finally have people to direct your hatred towards in a socially acceptable way.
Also, how tf are travellers going to become contributing members of society when they are constantly discriminated against?
And before anyone says anything, I already have several traveller settlements near where I live. I've only ever had 1 issue, and it was minor. Meanwhile, many people in my life have been robbed, attacked & beaten and more by 'settled' people. So who are the real criminals?
And finally... culturally, these travellers are more English than they will ever be Irish, because I very much doubt they have ever stepped foot in Ireland.
@@Amzzyyo You've never lived near a site have you? It costs the government millions of pounds to clear up all that shite and rubbish, this move cost £7 million.
Most of them are scum of the earth.

When “Travellers” camped close to our factory, we had three vans stolen in two months. One of our sign-written vans (so no doubts) was seen in the camp. We told the police. They said they could do nothing and to call our insurance company.
No wonder the Irish travellers feel free to do as they like.
The police have admitted they’re too frightened to act. The pikeys threaten their families.
Well, I ask. Why are people and communities so against?
Hese travellers. And I will answer.
Eason is the cause these problems and/or bring on these problems by themselves.. Here where I live. They moved into a beautiful wooded landscape. Beach Park area made a total dump site, how of it and then left?. Crimes went up, they even start it abducting small dogs.. The numbers speak for themselves and their actions speak for themselves....
Racism. Pure and simple.
Such a shame they have not learnt how to use dust bins, I worked for the local council years ago and every 6 months we had to go and clear all the surrounding area from all the filth they throw out their caravan windows dirty nappy's food containers it was disgusting. See 1.07 min these people will continue to make all in the local community's lives a misery and will never accept responsibility for their deeds or mis deeds they will dump rubbish out side your door and then say it is your problem not theirs.The inside of their vans are normally very clean and tidy but over the fence and all the surrounding area is littered with filth and rubbish.
deport them all,there is plenty of space in limerick.
That is crazy I know that if you are kind enough to let me stay in your yard or next to your house whatever I would do everything in my power to keep my area clean so you would be comfortable having me.
At the bottom of our gardens was a big lay by for the A316 motorway. Suddenly one morning we had five or six caravans parked there silently overnight. It was a constant stream of dirty nappies being thrown into the gardens. Is it a cultural thing? A tradition to displace dirty nappies?
@@bennym5244 They are beyond clean in there homes to the point they do not deficate inside a caravan . Thats seen as a crime even ........

Had a load of them turn up where I live. In a Field 12 top range caravans. Loads of nasty dogs horses. Quad bikes raced round the field day and night loud music. WHEN THEY LEFT. 6 burned out cars Effluent thrown in the hedge. Piles of garden rubbish Our council left to clean it up
Worse than pigs
They aint all bad people dont let that bad experience make your opinion of them
Exactly! They turn up in a field near me well a local rugby club every year cut the lock off the fence and in they go! Dump all there waste shit in the bushes dirty napies just left on the ground! They are real scumbags they do there self no favours and its why they are hated! Stories like yours and mine across the nation.

We had the actual same experience when the English invaded our country. We couldn’t get rid of them. We are still hoping that we might get our other Six counties back.
Can only comment what I know. 3 times they left thousands of pounds worth of clean up. It was disgusting. The estate has bollards everywhere to stop them returning now. I've no doubt they mess everywhere else too. They have too many protections within the law. Needs reformed quick. Pure chancers!
Found out Travellers and gypsy - are not the same.
they came here to Salford and settled on an old school field. We set fire to their camp and they left. They couldn't handle the youths in the area. We ran them out of town. We had to, they were stealing from houses and breaking in.
I live in the US. I live in a Homeowners Association. It has rules and regulations. These mobile homes are just not allowed. You can get evicted from your home if you have one of these in your driveway or street.
What a shame. It’s not their land. They have wrecked the land. Don’t pay tax or anything. I can’t watch anymore. The neighbours lives are wrecked.
Ye have some cheak when ye robbed so much land from a lot of countries
Although I don't like them you are wrong if you were listing they pay every bit as much as they locals
caravans are usually given A rating for council tax,they pay that, water is metered,they pay that,electric is the same as everyone pays,LPG gas is often used, its far far more expensive that normal gas plus it has to be lugged in,if no electric is onsite then a genny has to be used, run by petrol or diesel,generators are expensive,the manintance of them is expensive and petrol and diesel? its not unusual to put in over a hundred a week for just a few hours per day of electric,living as they do is far more expensive than the settled community,the neighbours lives aren't wrecked,many live down there quite happily,hope you can start to feel less bitter now

Clearly, Kathleen, AND her lovely wig, is in no mood to compromise, or admit that there are problems, primarily caused by the traveller site.
Len is just one man, fighting against a thousand strong traveller community.
So of course Len is going to be extremely defensive.
But as far as the travellers are concerned, THEY are the newcomers, encroaching on an established, cohesive community, some of them living there illegally. So of course the locals feel justified in their criticism. Not least because of the extra pressure on the local infrastructure, sewerage etc, that had still not been addressed. So it is clear that the measures in place to deal with the sewerage, amount of people on the traveller site is not adequate. If they need another septic tank then the travellers need to address it, or have the current septic tank emptied more often, to prevent the problems of sewage overflowing onto the land, because that is disgusting and uncivilised, and it is no wonder that the locals are so peed off about it, as it IS a preventable problem.
Add to that the attitude of the travellers towards THEIR waste, junk, and rubbish blighting the area, that was probably unaffected before the travellers arrived. It just shows a distinct lack of consideration towards the local community.
It is a similar story wherever travellers settle.
Add the increase in crime in areas where there are traveller settlements, and obviously, locals are going to point the finger, especially when a rise in criminal activity, coincides with the establishment of settlements.
The unsocial noise,rubbish, sewerage, and criminality sways me in favour of the locals.

There is a travellers site in Leicestershire that was raided by the police as it was thought some of the residents were involved in criminal activities. Quite a few items were recovered from local home burglaries. Some from muggings such as handbags and watches. Stolen and cloned cars were discovered and a number that weren’t taxed or insured. Often police are afraid to go into these sites. Kids are encouraged to throw bricks at police because they won’t be taken to court.
Yeah they seem to be just a bunch of squatter thieves, who move around and act like a mafia. They only care about themselves and the rest of the community are just there to be preyed upon.
If it is the site I’m thinking of, it’s just over the border in Northants. One raid, the police dug up part of the site and found millions in money, gold, bonds etc.
Just south of Market Harborough. A real thieves den.
sounds like they raided a neighborhood in Birmingham!
As well stolen dogs.
I like Len. He stands his ground against an army of ignoble thugs who use every trick in their book to cheat, rob, bully, threaten and lie.
I've sent this to all my friends - they owe me big time for this gem!
Discrimination,

Did you see the full page picture of himself in his uniform when he showed them the newspaper though....
They get defensive when they are called filth and dirt when they act like it. My partner used to work at the legal site twice a week and it was filled with rubbish, it was disgusting and kids are little shits. Their behaviour is disrespectful and repulsive
The problem is why the council don't use their powers to get rid of those who are in the area illegally. Why doesn't the council deal with the fly tipping issues and rubbish left and degradation caused!! If the law is not adequate then the law needs to be changed. Things need to be dealt with legally.
The opening comments by the traveller woman asking why they should not allowed to live the sanas as the settled communities, one answer, pay tax and local rates, which fund the amenities that we all rely upon, not avoid all expense to oneself and attach yourself like a parasite and live off the productive benefits of civilised society.

Do they pay council tax and are they paying income tax. I very much doubt it.
She says every single one of them pays council tax - I imagine those that have the legal right to be there do but the other illegal half don't. I think she was stretching the truth a bit there.

Ask yourself where they get their water and electricity from and how they pay for it.
@@politicalcorrectionfacilit2644 I agree.
Course not .. and they always thieve .. intimidate and harass .. my friend lived in the same road as a site and she had years of hassle .. threats for no reason.. and theft .. and I’ve had first hand experience of them.. my daughter called in a state saying two men were in our drive .. my ex had old boilers etc there as he’s a plumber .. so we drove back.. and blocked the drive which the cheeky buggers had parked in .. we immediately filmed them on our phones and said put back all the stuff now ..they did and my ex said he’d let them go but if anything ever happened to our house or property he would be straight to the plod with the video of them .. safe to say they left empty handed and never darkened our door again.. you can’t show them any weakness or they will exploit it!

Travellers think they can behave however they want..ignoring law and order and offending the public,,there are ressons that theyre not wanted..pub owners close their premises,resteraunts close down while teavellers are around..so there has to be reasons for disliking them,we want to accept everyone,but there are limits,i want to know how they cry " poverty" but the money they spend on wedddings and the outrageous dresses they wear,must cost thousands!
Yep, I’ve had the same problem in past, they took over our village! 🤬
Oh my God, I feel for you
have they moved on now
Bait all the dogs and burn them out problem solved
We had a family of Travellers who would bring their 2 small caravans, to a lane near our home, every Summer. They were kind, respectful, and proud , and people on our Estate would take them water daily. Their young, triplet sons were respectful, or the dad would discipline them verbally. They were great kids, very well loved by their parents.. When they moved on, in the Autumn, they always left the area spotlessly clean. You'd never have known they'd ever been there.
The difference? They were not the scummy Irish Tinkers!!! They were Romani Gypsies, proper , decent, clean Romani.!! As different as chalk and cheese to these foul Tinkers
@@jacqueline8559 I'll say they we're banging you morning and night by sounds of it 😂
We've just had travellers on a local field. They used it as a toilet, it was completely disgusting and the poor council guys had to clean it up.
WHEN travellers pay rates,they can have a campsite, and pay as and when they use it.
I met real Gypsys in Eastern Europe decades ago. Just like me ,they were best described as swarthy, because of their distant ancestors being from the Indian sub continent. These people are simply Irish who have adopted a life style and faux culture to live outside the law.A law which is afraid to make them obey it as everyone else is. On some of the UK police and a tracker site, the police are seen to be avoiding conflict with travellers ,even if they are caught with chopped up transit vans and stolen earth moving gear worth many thousands.
Not Irish. They are recognized as a "distinct ethnic minority" in Ireland, a classification embraced under United Nations' statutes. As such they are treated with kid's gloves. They are lawless, not just in Ireland and UK, but across Europe as their geographic "reach" expands.
in Ireland we call them Tinkers alot of them are real scumbags They steal the Hair on your head

@@SmokingLaddy one side the "illegal"side is Irish the other side is English Romany,but the documentary is years old,the illegal side were forced off their yards,the yards being bunded by the council which makes the area look like a war zone so Im not sure what was achieved,more on the road in laybys which people hate and more on the council housing list which is already massive,the other side is being bought out by the council,as the council has oked a massive housing development,so all that countryside is now going to be lost,all a pointless waste of time and resources.
Eastern European Roma are a distinct ethnic group, Irish Travellers and English Romany are also distinct ethnic groups,there maybe a common ancestral link,the Indian thing is one theory but alot of the law surrounding English Romany came about in the dark ages when most of us were serfs,the clergy were all powerful and wanted many new monasteries built to do this they had to make men free not serfs to travel and build, mostly stone masons,(hence todays freemasons) and these masons needed horses and knife sharpeners,hence todays gypsies,they were serfs also made free,the rest of us stayed under the serf law,not much travel from India during these times in the UK,the Irish travellers came about during the potato famine and the English law which forced the Irish farmers off the land,all different but genuine cultures
that lot were born with sticky fingers.

What a hoot if Colonel Bob returned home to whatever leafy lane he lives in to find twenty caravans bunging up his road with all the crap that goes with them.
The truth is that The Travellers could take all the arguments against them away. If they followed the laws that everyone else is subject to nobody would be able to say anything against them! To say “the rubbish is on your road not ours” well yes, that’s why the local people are so fed up!
As the last generation of Scot travelers, I can't even describe the peace of being settled for my children. I'm not saying I'm not proud of those who came before me, but that life was hell as a kid. The saddest part, not one person could get past the stereotype and prejudice to help us break the cycle. We never stole from anyone ever. Just needed some peace and the freedom to stay put.
Problem (for you) is you are naturally associated with the legions of 'travellers' who are a massive problem wherever they go, the exception are not the rule, we all have to compromise, I am almost 60 and have never lived where and how I want to.
Quite true I am in brick now as I can no longer travel freely was even hassled on my own land glad your settled best of luck and try to talk to people as they dont understand us
Carmarthen council build a area for Travellers with showers fenced of safety for the kids hard ground for there caravans. One weekend the council came back and everything was gone brick work toilets taps fencing doors gates and piles of rubbish left tyres human waste etc.
I'm afraid this has happened in other areas, too. That said, there are decent Romanies and diddakois.i don't know much about Irish gypsies, except that they stole from a business I worked for. But all groups of people have good and bad. There are cultural problems that need to be resolved and travellers need to abide by the law and be prosecuted when they break it, just like anyone else.
I’m pleased to see that in this case a way forward was reached, and it’s great to see people getting on together. But Most people move into neighbourhoods and treat their neighbours with respect from the start, they don’t abuse them, throw their rubbish over the fence and pipe their sewage through their gardens…..
