Perhaps you'd like to add your support to this opinion offered by a Midlands J.P. during the making of 'The Travelling People Radio Ballad
Jim Carroll

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?"
