Jim Carroll BS: No One Is Above the Law? (129* d) RE: BS: No One Is Above the Law? 02 Oct 17


"I think our conversation is finished"
Never had a doubt it would be
You fit Billy Connolly's description of a policeman perfectly – "if you want to frighten him, ask him a question"
You people will not accept the consequences of your bigoted hatred – in this case, ethnic cleansing
Ake, supposing your quaint description of what real Travellers are, were true – what do YOU propose should happen to those who don't fit your rosy image - this perhaps?

From the note to 'Winds of Change' in the MacColl songbook
While collecting information for the above Radio-Ballad, producer Charles Parker interviewed Alderman Harry Watton, J.P., of Birmingham:
Watton: How far does it come in your mind before you say: 'I have done everything I possibly can ... and I will help the broad mass of these people, but there are some I can do nothing with whatsoever.'
Then doesn't the time arise in one's mind when one has to say: 'All right, one has to exterminate the impossibles ...'
Parker:        Exterminate - that's a terrible word. Surely you don't ... mean that ...?
Watton: Why not?
