THE LAW is an anagram of WEALTH.
Ok in that case I'll justpack my job in, steal your car and break in to your house then
Reports yesterday said that some travellers (that's a mis nomer. These people aren't travelling anywhere - they just don't want t olive like the rest of us) are moving from the illegal site to the legal one NEXT DOOR which indicates that there are spaces if people want to sort this peacefully.
Reading back over the history of this the 'travellers' purchased the land and applied for planning permission in 2010. Purchased land?
What with? Further reports say that the majority of the travellers are illiterate due to poor access to schools(their lifestyle, their choice as far as I can see) so they can't be earning much.
How are they funded? I work and I'm fairly literate and I couldn't afford to enter into a co operative to buy land!!!
And the fact that they have 'poor access to schools' proves that they are prepared to take advantage of services.
Seems to me they want to live outside the confines of society without actually having to pay like everyone else.
I'm all for individuality and I can see the attraction of wanting to be part of an alternative community, but if I have to contribute to a tax system I don't want to be supporting any more people who are free loading.
I don't think this is about a part of society wanting to opt out and live a different lifestyle. It's about belligerence and point scoring.
