    Because they knew they didn't have a leg to stand on.

    God knows how much it's cost tax payers with their endless court cases and meetings with councillors etc.

    with regards to the stop notice, then no, they don't have a leg to stand on. with regards to other avenues to explore, then they might.

    Salt of the earth those travellers.

    If you start laying tarmac and erecting buildings without planning permission, annoy your neighbours with loutish behaviour, fly tip etc. Don't be suprised when you get evicted.

    Simples.

    They are using laws made to protect minorities from discrimination and ensure equality for all in order to enable them to carry on their criminal behaviour.

    They are a minority who believe they have been discriminated against.

    Right or wrong, laws are in place to protect people and they are entitled to explore it.

    Have to agree with this. It's not like they're lowering the tone of place. The women do tend to favour blonde highlights, fake tan and a Croydon face-lift, while the men are partial to a neck tattoo, so they fit right in really. can't see a problem myslef.

    Erm, they are Irish Travellers. They have the same protection under the law as all other minorities. What kind of question is that?

    Travellers? Define travellers?

    Do they travel around or do they live on the site permanently?

    Do you propse they are forced to travel a certain number of weeks a year to qualify for the name traveller? Are black people really black? You are splitting hairs due to your racism. It's a poor showing in the 21st century. Thought you had me on your ignore list anyway?

    I'm not racist no matter how many times you pathetically repeat the same lie and you will not be able to provide any evidence that I am so you can knock that on the head.

    Do they travel? No. Do they live permanently on the site in a static home? Yes. Ergo, they are no more travellers than you or me.

    I have to live by the law the same as everyone else. What makes them different?

    They are recognised as a distinct social grouping, regardless of whether they are settled or not.

    You have a prejudice against these people due to who they are. Someone who has a prejeduce against someone from a minority grouping or ethnic group soley for the reason they belong to said group is not only a racist but also a moron. Frank Bruno is as black as you or me <doh>

    I'll stick to arguing with rebel from now on as you clearly don't have the intellect nor the common sense to engage in such issues.

    They have distinct cultural practices and have a distinct historical lineage.
    There are higher instances of certain genetic illnesses than other groupings.

    For these reasons, they are a minority group and should be afforded the same protections as any other minority group.
