Dale Farm Eviction Day

As daylight broke over Dale Farm, the bailiffs continued to remove the last of the makeshift barriers and "locked-on" protesters. But Arran and Danya "locked on" to a barrier nearby have been completely ignored. They have their hands bound together on either side of a fence and can't free themselves and have been forced to spend the night in the open. "It could be worse", said Arran, 26, a charity fundraiser from Bristol.

Made me smirk, yesterday. I think it was from the Telegraph.

Dignity would have been compliance with the ruling of the court before trying to bleat on about racial discrimination and human rights.

What Basildon should have done is sneak in a load of people from the housing list and let them start squatting on the site, change all the caravan locks and then just shrug when the Dale Farm owners tried to get them evicted.

It cost £18 million quid to evict them?

£18 million?!

That would have been trespass though, surely?

I wonder where this 18 million figure comes from? I've seen it banded around a lot, but does it include rehousing everyone? The clean up? All the legal fees for the last 10 years?

Yup, but trespass isn't a crime, it's a tort - the owners would need a court order to evict them.

Round two?

Quote:

"Although the majority of the 400 people who lived on Dale Farm have moved on, and there have been no complaints of trespass linked to them, it seems many have moved on to the legal side of the site. "This may exceed planning regulations and we will be looking at the extent of that. Also, because the caravans are packed very tight, it poses a health and safety risk. "We will talk to the travellers and take legal measures but, ultimately, we may have to resort to further direct action in order to remove them.
