GYPSIES like any people in our country are entitled to equality and fair treatment under our laws.
However, the events of the last couple of weeks at Myton Fields and other parts of Warwick (Courier, last week) has highlighted that Labour/Lib Dem political correctness is alive and well.
A government directive states that all councils must now
take account of gypsy travellers' needs in planning, and identify land for them to buy and develop.
When gypsy travellers set up illegal encampments it almost inevitably leads to property damage, a mess to clean up, cost, inconvenience, and frustration.
The laws put in place by Labour and supported by their Lib/Dem allies means the police are powerless to act against vandalism, dishonesty and crime.
Gypsies have been known in the UK since at least the early 16th century and may number up to 120,000. There is also a sizable population of East European gypsies who immigrated into the UK in the late 1990s/early 2000s. This increase due to EU expansion in 2004, policies supported by the Labour and Lib/Dem parties incorporated in the Lisbon Treaty.
The tiime has now come to stop the camps, as the majority of the residents do not want to pay extra taxes to repair the damage done by these communities. The issue is not being anti gypsy traveller, or about race but about the law and whether it is applied equally to everybody. - Coun Bob Dhillon, (Con, Warwick West Ward), St Christopher's Close, Warwick.
