Subject: RE: BS: Dale Farm Traveller Evictions
Hi, Jim.

The figures I read indicate there are between 200,000 and 300,000. At the high end there is about one Traveller per 200 people in the UK.

The people who have said that some of the Travellers broke the law is so. Some did. However, to toss people out of their homes when they have NO PLACE to go is barbaric. The same happened in the US just a few years back. Instead of councils, it was banks and mortgage companies. The fact that the Travellers in violation of the law have been living in their illegal houses and have been allowed to for ten fu#king years makes me wonder, why now?
