Similar stories here as well. But what gets a lot of us round here is the Pikies that descend on us every summer for the Dorset Steam Fair who trash private land, nick anything not cemented to the earths core and yet drive vehicles with no tax or insurance or MOT - but the local Police are under instructions to simply move them on.

It's absurdly easy to catch these people (ANPR and CCTV) so minimum investigation costs and very little time spent on finding him. Penalties are high in this case because there is 'aggravation' and a large element of 'challenge' due to his actions - don't mock the system is the message. An attack on authority dignity is more serious than any other crime. Apparently.

This really gets me annoyed.

I have no problem with genuine travellers who choose to be self sufficient, but these sponges just drain society's resources. The Police are paid for by the majority of society. How can a situation arise where by the Police are unable to serve our best interests like this? If they can't, the army should!

We have new Lidl open recently and a heap of travellers took over the car park one night, what a mess they trashed flower beds, trolleys etc, they had dogs chained up which had been fed with fish and chips and strewn everywhere Pictures Here

Genuine traveller families will not cause mess or disturbance, its the likes of these yobos, that give the GENUINE travelling community a headache.

There have been travellers camped out on the same piece of Council owned land on 2 occasions recently. One of our teams gets called in to clear up after they move on.
1st occasion, it's a complete bomb site, rubbish strewn everywhere, scrap, human excrement, dirty nappies, the lot. We have to pull out as environmental services need to disinfect the site to deal with the 'hazardous waste'
2nd occasion, the same team go in to clear up, and find all the rubbish bagged up in a pile. No human waste, no dirty nappies, no broken toys, They even replaced the barriers that had been mysteriously moved to allow them access onto the site in the first place

A word to the wise Clive, you should be careful using the term “pikie”, when referring to the travelling community. Its considered as racist by some, a bit like calling Asian people p..is, or black people the N or W word.Not having a dig at you btw, just letting you know, in case you didn’t already.
