Totally agree SBPete. Good on you for speaking up. Who's next?
may be their home address is in the caymen islands.What annoys me about them is that they all have flash cars and new vans etc, but are they taxed and insured? Surely you need a permanent address to tax your vehicle (as well as insurance). Why aren't these details checked and used against these pikey tossers! They get away with anything! We have to pay, why don't they?
Tbf, the Police are restricted in what they can do.
Plus they'd get slated more if they went in full force removing these pests, than if they "sat on their hands".
In an ideal world, there would be no rights to the travellers, and evicted from private land shouldn't have to go through the courts. But it does.
If they gained access by smashing any gates down they could be evicted now but if they had been left open by accident then i wish the council good luck !Tbf, the Police are restricted in what they can do.

Can't believe the unchallenged racism in these posts
Im object to people who pay nothing into society yet take from it, regardless of what ethnic group they belong to.
Does that make me a racist?
Am on my phone and have cleaned a couple of posts up, if there are any offensive ones left can somebody press report so I can sort them?

I'm pretty sure the term 'pikey' isn't the best idea to be fair. Which is in the title.
People that choose to opt out of societies system and then expect to use it when it suits them don't deserve such respect as some are suggesting. Now having said that I don't deny they can expect decent human respect and I would give that anyone.
I don't like the term Pikey particularly but if you were in the pub tonight I'm sure there will be plenty using that term. Gypsies, travellers or whatever is correct, it's is all the same to most people.
I've had good and bad personal experiences involving travellers in the past. One where they made a great job of my driveway years ago and the other where they burgled my house and stole my stuff, then had the audacity to sell it at the local flea market!
All irrelevant to be honest. People in pubs say all sorts. Doesn't make it right. Anyone can make a cracking job of your drive or rob your house. So again irrelevant. The point is the generalisations based on an ethnic group, or people. That is wrong.
I really did not want to get into this subject. But irrelevant it isn't.
I pay tax, NI, council tax, road tax and hell many more taxes! Hopefully you do to. So when they use the local A&E or drive their van and caravan on the road, receive money tax free and so on and so on.....it becomes relevant.

Why do they call themselves travellers ? The only time they travel anywhere is when they get evicted, and then it's only 5-6 minutes down the road to the next available site, leaving barrel loads of rubbish behind
No rights to anywhere unless they pay their way.
Some of the "Looney Left" comments on this thread are ludicrous.

For once I agree with you!
And before anyone brings it up, this has nothing to do with race, just fairness. They choose a lifestyle that is subsided by the taxpayer, that's what I don't like.
How is it subsidised by the taxpayer?
There are many more people and companies in the UK that are ripping us all off....dole cheats, invalidity cheats, road tax and car insurance cheats, google/starbucks...tou can not make sweeping statement like you have.
Do they use public services? Yes
Do they contribute into the public purse? No
I hold all those others you list with the same contempt as I do with travellers.
so why single them out?

If we have a thread about benefit cheats you will get the same opinion from me.
the thread is about travelers encamped on a car park - not travelers dodging taxes etc...?
The two items go hand in hand.
