unlacedgecko 1,466 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 After paying their workers and the inland revenue they can still afford those motors, they must have some income. The Mail on the other hand seems more interested in the cars than a human rights story. I'm pleased that the authorities are actually taking action. There is a group illegally camped in a public car park in a town near me. If I stayed there longer than my ticket allowed I would be hit with a ticket and £100 fine. Traffic wardens have been instructed not to ticket the travellers so as to 'avoid confrontation'. The lesson from this is, if you have a reputation for illegal violence and intimidating people then the authorities won't apply normal rules to you... I would like to see more HMRC investigations into travellers, with POCA being used to confiscate assets they can't account for. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare 1,103 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Lol not a fan of them then geeko? to be honest i would have thought if they was doing anything dodgy at all last thing theyd want is a flash car. They must of payed their taxs n thought that made it fine though i mean you cant walk into a show room n buy one of them with cash. My sister is really good friends with a young girl from a traveller family. A mate of mine was here at the time when she first asked if she could stay. Made a typical negative comment about cant trust em. My mum said yes though and the girl has stayed countless times since and is so polite shes welcome anytime. Her brothers are abit older and always in n out of prison for stupid things. Just because of what they go away for i think their idiots. Some drunk paki got off same bus stop as my sister n kept asking for her number. My sister spotted her friends brothers n asked them to walk back with her n said why. They ended up bringing her home and punched the bloke a few times till he f****d off aswell. Only found that out the other day as my mum reckoned if she told me at the time id of gone out looking for him lol. Anyway i know they have a bad reputation but i take people as i find em n not had a bad experience yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

reaper1064 285 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 After paying their workers and the inland revenue they can still afford those motors, they must have some income. The Mail on the other hand seems more interested in the cars than a human rights story. Inland revenue, you honestly think they pay any sort of tax,,,,,, right.

Yes because they hide behind the law they have so little regard for if anyone dares upset them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dare 1,103 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Playing the race card is their bread and butter well lets have it right, society seems to be far more ok with being openly racist towards them but cant say f**k all about people who wanna rape our kids and blow us up. Also surely these boys must have paid taxes? How can you buy cars like that with cash? As for wishing poca on people why other than jealousy? Dangerous people jealous people imo and keep aware from such people. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
