Welcome to Dale Farm- twinned with Darfur

Daily Mail
"The ‘travellers’ have even hoisted a UN flag over their camp. A Jolly Roger would be more appropriate, given their cavalier attitude to the laws of the land.

How did they ever get themselves designated as an oppressed racial minority? They’re not even proper gypsies, they’re Irish tinkers. As for calling themselves ‘travellers’, unlike show-folk they never seem to travel anywhere — except back to Ireland for high days and holidays. They say they have nowhere else to go, yet many of them own property in Ireland. One of the Dale Farm squatters is building a development of luxury homes, costing up to £400,000 each, back in the Irish town of Rathkeale. Basildon Council was so busy ‘abusing’ their yuman rites, it even paid them housing benefits direct to a landlord in Ireland."
