Paddywhack Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The girl who sits next to me at work. Her party trick is going cross-eyed and so performs this wonderfully unique act whenever the conversation or opportunity allows her to. Probably once a day. Then, with her face remaining static, she waits patiently for a gasp, perhaps an audible 'what the -, but how?' and finally an applause from me or any other member of her targeted audience. As a result, she always looks disappointed when I grant her that forever decreasing, near non-existent polite smile. I feel one day I may have a black out and come back round to a scene not to dissimilar from one in The Demolition Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Those dirty, imbred, marauding vagabonds have been allowed back into Dale Farm. Napalm the lot of them! I don't see why us honest, decent humans have to pay the taxes to keep these gypsies. I may be wrong but the people on Dale farm are in fact paying taxes.. The tax payer however will the paying the £18m the council wasted in the botched removal the dirty imbred etc part of your post is just pure ignorance really , perhaps you'd be happy if we rounded them up and put them in camps ?

Presumably they will be paying VAT etc, but as for council tax I'm not sure. I'm no expert but if the Council assert that the dwellings are illegal because there is no planning permission, they surely can't charge council tax on that basis either? The caravans and other mobile structures won't need planning and again, to the best of my knowledge don't attract rates either...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I live out more towards the countryside where gypsies are a real problem, they live outside of the law. My dad used to work for a farmer around here, he would help him with mowing fields and cutting hedges and that kind of thing so he got to know a lot of other farmers and land owners around this area and so he found out a lot of things. Just a few examples of what goes on are: They take over farmer's fields, just park their caravans and vans and then threaten the farmer. In one case they demanded that the guy signed part of his land over to them or they would harm him and hi family (or worse) and so he did as they wanted. Once they had the land, they did it again and again until they had control of a few of his fields. Gypsies drained oil from one of those big tanks you see in fields, cut straight through the pipes, took as much as they wanted and left the rest to pour out. When the owner discovered this, he called the Police out who didn't want anything to do with gypsies but instead charged the guy for ''polluting the enviornment'' because the oil drained out. One guy who lives around here used to have some horrible kind of car with all the modifications and stuff and some pikies told him they wanted his car, he refused to just give them his car he'd spent thousands on and so they smashed it up. There is someone who lives just down the street from me who got a pikey pregnant and now he is being held against his will as part of their family and he cannot get away from what his dad has said. I could go on. I bet none of these ''Hug a Gypo'' types have ever actually had to deal with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two general categories. 1) proper gypsies. Spotless houses, and I mean I'd eat off their floors clean. a bit rough and ready but generally hard working honest (as honest as the rest of us) people who choose a different lifestyle to me, but have lovely manners and kids. And 2) dirty scummy pikeys. Who would flog their own granny, knick anything that isn't nailed down and abuse the benefits system drugs and all sorts. These can generally be found in most council estates. Who lives at Dale Farm? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 If only we could force everyone into living within the system, paying taxes and keeping quiet etc etc. We want to protect liberties as best we can, before we end up like the French these days. So, like them or not, they are a by-product of a free society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet none of these ''Hug a Gypo'' types have ever actually had to deal with them. well I guess I fall into the Hug a Gypo camp for two reasons: 1) if people want an alternative lifestyle that doesn't unduly impact on me and mine I think that's fine 2) classing any whole group of people, be they travellers, Belgians, muslims or nudists or whatever as all being the same and worthy of blanket condemnation is just a bit immature As for 'having to deal with them', I guess having to live 100 metres from an unauthorised camp for 5 or 6 years probably qualifies me. Strangely, they must have been those nice middle class gypo's because they kept themselves to themselves and spent most of their time on their obsessive cleaning regime.

Risso Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 nudists Do you still get nudists? I remember in the 70s you'd always hear people talking about them, and nudist camps and beaches seemed quite popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in the 70s you'd always hear people talking about them, and nudist camps and beaches seemed quite popular. a quick use of the google suggests it's all still out there and I seem to remember a few months ago an episode of the one show did something on the subject (oh yes, I'm that cool). Personally I'd be worried about the twin threats of cold weather and nettles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 well I guess I fall into the Hug a Gypo camp for two reasons: 1) if people want an alternative lifestyle that doesn't unduly impact on me and mine I think that's fine Rather a selfish/shallow attitude that Chris, IMO, for one so intelligent and thougtful/community minded etc. That's almost a NIMBY type attitude, surely. I'm alright Jack, so it's OK? What about if/when Gypsies/travellers action impact adversly (sometimes very adversley) on others. That doesn't bother you, becuase you're OK? 2 Quick questions, by the way: a. Should Gypsies/travellers have to abide by the law of this country?# b. If they don't have to, why should "we"/anybody? ps. should we not have a seperate thread for this. pps. Shocked to see Tone Loc adopting a very "lefty/liberal" attitude on this one!!

Shillzz Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 On the Gypsy topic, I am one of those people to have only had bad experiences with the travelling community - Though not to the extent that Villa Ajax describes. I'm sure there are some reasonable ones out there, perhaps even the majority of them could be classed as such, but my experience tells me that they harvest trouble for a living. A large group of my friends used to work in Safeways (now morrisons) in Tewkesbury and they would regularly be subject to thieving from the gypsies. Not even the store security would stand up to them, so they would regularly be seen carrying various amounts of goods out of the store, under their arms. Fighting would also be a fairly regular occurrence, amongst themselves as much as anything. If they were sat in the beer garden, you wouldnt go out there, simple as that. One more thing, how the **** do they all afford Range Rovers for Gods sake!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
