Nick Tessla Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 they are setting up a group to meet the needs of travellers - apparently because if they don't the little darlings will just break the law. Can I suggest a similar group be set up to buy electrical goods for burglars to fence, to try and stop them nicking stuff - in case anyone from the council reads this and thinks it's a good idea, I am joking!

algy Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 An age old problem that has been going on for centuries and irrespective of the law, is likely to continue doing so for many years to come, the majorityof these 'travellers' have no fixed identity, rarely pay fines, have no national insurance number, don't pay income tax, deal entirely in cash transactions and are almost untraceable, they live in a closed society of their own making with their own laws and laugh at the likes of us idiots shackled in the manacles of bureaucracy.

Evil Sid Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Well seems that channel 4 have a new programme coming on Sunday about how these people make their money. I take it next Monday this thread will contain twice as many posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Sid, if it shows how they make money; fine.... if it shows how they pay their taxes; even better..... just don't expect the latter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Tessla Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 What happened to my posting re Eric Pickles changing the regulations to make it easier for councils to deal with travellers - he's not my favourite politician, but surely he's not that offensive - is he?

Freeborn John Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 If one more nomadic con man tries to sell me cheap and crappy Chinese power tools, chainsaws, generators and what have you as top of the range brands; 'Sure, we took the labels off to avoid the customs!' I'll be on to the council myself. The trading standards office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
