Travellers receive another warm welcome in Adur.

This makes an interesting read;

Another year, another wave of discriminatory abuse, no change there, however, this makes for pretty amusing reading, although quite shocking in places.

"Tim was involved in an altercation with one of the caravans when blocking the entrance to the grounds having visited the site soon after the initial incursion", what sort of numb nuts tries to pick a fight with a caravan? Not the brightest of moves there, but you can't tell these Tories that they aren't regarded as gods among men by anyone outside their little clique.

 On a more serious note regarding this statement, was it just admitted there that a member of parliament was obstructing the highway? Isn't that a crime in this country? Silly me, Loughton is immune to any form of legal justice, anyone knows that. As for the "incursion", from reading this, the aggression was from Loughton towards a caravan, therefore the only "incursion" was that by him on the public highway being used lawfully by a caravan, that he wanted to have a barney with.

 There is a lot of talk about intimidation and suspicious activity, but all I'm seeing is a gang of local Tories intimidating a group of people, including children, who are being accused of crimes before they have spent 5 minutes in town, it's also pretty suspicious that a bloke from Burgess Hill drives all the way to Lancing at the drop of a hat to try an have a scrap with a motor vehicle, and as for the "rubbish", since the start of the hot weather there has been heaps of rubbish left by local residents in all of our parks and even more all over the beaches, but clearly all of the rubbish that was on the manor the previous week was all down to the travellers, who must have sent advance parties to throw a bunch of nappies and picnic wrappers around the place, as it was far from spotless on the Thursday when I went past there.

 I'm not sure what the accusations is regarding the "Audi convertible and brand new Land Rover Discovery", surely if the police were in attendance and any of these were in any way illegal, then there would have been something done about it, if not, where's the problem? Was he expecting to see shire horses or something, or has he decided that all travellers use white transits and anything else is in some way dodgy? I live on a council estate, and sometimes there is a Bentley parked round the corner, should I report this?  I thought that the Tory philosophy was to acquire wealth, maybe he's just jealous because he hasn't got one, who knows? Either way it's completely irrelevant what cars people drive, unless of course the idea was to suggest that these were obtained by some dubious means.

 As for things we would be "well shot of", Tories are pretty high on my list, and the local racists are definitely at the top of the list.

 Who is the aggressive one, the one going about their business, or the one actively trying to prevent them from doing so? Claiming that people are criminals before any crime has even been committed, goes against the basic premise of "Innocent until proven guilty", but that has never bothered people like Loughton, he believes in "innocent if kissing his arse, guilty if not", and the belief that he is above the law, and considering that his mate Kate runs Sussex Police would suggest to some that maybe he's right about at least one thing, even if the rest of what comes out of his gob is "bollocks".
