The UK Government has just issued a
tough "anti-Gypsy" statement, saying that police will get increased powers to
evict "Travellers" from unauthorized camping places. Some say the will
resist this "ethnic-cleansing" policy.

TRAVELLERS PREPARE TO
RESIST "ETHNIC-CLEANSING"

Shortly after John Prescott's refusal to allow Romanies to stay on the >WoodsideWoodsideWoodside on or after l Nov.
But they may have difficulties finding a contractor to do their dirty-work, and
insurance could be a mjaor problem.
Please contact us if you would like to have your number (or email address) on the Red Alert Cascade.
A Tent City is being created to
accommodate supporters coming to
>Woodside< the night before. The
campfires will be burning ...
Meanwhile, protests over the
planned eviction (for which the council has voted £250,000 ) can be sent to:

Other Travellers, in a similar situation, at Nuneaton and Epping, are
also making a stand.
They believe that pressure at this
time will help the Traveller Law Reform Bill, due to be introduced in
Parliament on 10 July.

Remember when they used the media to highlight the "traveller problem" and sent police to harrass and intimidate the convoys, as a pretext for the Criminal Justice Bill? Guess what? There was no problem, except, nomads are a threat because they can live independantly, in self-sufficiency, outside the system.

"They came for the Armenians, but I wasn't an Armenian so I did nothing. They came for the gypsies, but I wasn't a gypsy so I did nothing. They came for the Jews, but I wasn't a Jew so I did nothing. Then they came for me."

Do you ever take the trouble to look into the truth of a story before you print it?
As far as the fiasco in Paynes lane is concerned, it appears not and I am quite confidant the same applies to your other articles!!!
