scousemouse Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 The company I worked for had land that, from time to time, was plagued by 'travelers'. It cost a lot of money to evict them, and even more to clean up after they had been evicted. They don't do themselves any favours by not living within the law, like the rest of us.

Tony Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 They didn't steal it - they bought it. They bought a scrapyard and an adjacent green field. The "scrapyard" didn't have a planning consent either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoran Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Utter tosh. 99% of gypsies are the victims of racist. :hihi: You arent as good as halibut when it comes to trolling. Your a little too obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halibut Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I was speaking in general. These 'travellers' bought that piece of land (then broke planning laws but hey, lets forgive them that) but 99% of 'travellers' steal land, move onto it and then claim it as heir own. :hihi: You arent as good as halibut when it comes to trolling. Your a little too obvious. And you're too free and easy with made up 'facts' - like the one you made up about 99% of travellers stealing land. You made it up. If you dislike travellers, that's your perogative, but it makes you look pretty stupid if you need to make up facts to support your view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barleycorn Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 How about letting them decide. They have a national council of gypsies, do they not? Have them decide. Interesting notion. However any decisions they make will impact upon people who are not travelers. Let's say we do that and one of these crimes is committed against someone who is not a traveler whose laws should apply? The perpetrators or the victims? jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barleycorn Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Laws only have to be obeyed by those who are part of society. Gypsies have opted out. Can anyone opt out? How about I start my own mini society in the UK called The Way of the Barleycorn. It basically follows all the social norms currently in place with one exception. Members of my society no longer have to pay tax of any sort but are still able to reap all the benefits available to the society at large. How does that sound? Can I, by you're reasoning, so this? jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlittlepup Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I am quite sure that you have misunderstood me;I thought they ended the series as the actor died.It was highly irreverent and deeply offensive to many of my Irish friends,hence their reliance on the Scottish borders for locations. What a steaming pile of horse dung. Location work for Father Ted was done mostly in County Clare, including locations at Ennis, Kilfenora, Ennistymon, and Kilnaboy. The Parochial House is McCormack's at Glenquin, on the Boston road from Kilnaboy.[9][10] The cinema featured in "The Passion Of St Tibulus" was the Ormonde Cinema, Greystones, County Wicklow[11] and "The Field", the location for Funland in "Good Luck, Father Ted", is in Portrane, North County Dublin. The 'Very dark caves' featured in "The Mainland" were the Aillwee caves in the Burren, County Clare. Some exterior shots for the episode "And God Created Woman" were filmed in Dún Laoghaire, South County Dublin. The opening sequence (including shots of the Plassey ship wreck) were filmed over Inis Oírr - the smallest of the Aran Islands. The interior scenes were recorded at LWT's The London Studios. And of the hundreds of Irish people (mostly family) I know about 2 were offended, the rest loved it. You LOVE having an excuse to be offended don't you?
