Sorry for travellers? They are a scourge of society

-

Alan Mullery, former football manager and pundit, Sue Nicholls, actress, Diana Quick, actress, Merv Hughes, former cricketer, Zoe Ball presenter, Kelly Brook model and actress, I AM astonished that one correspond­ent actually said they felt sorry for travellers, as they need somewhere to live.

Travellers, dear correspond­ent, choose to live the way they do, as freeloader­s who have scant regard for the convention­s of normal society, such as paying your way.

They occupy privately owned land, often by illegal means of entry, knowing that they can stay there for a good length of time before anybody can remove them by law enforcemen­t. match those in the neighbouri­ng area, and increases in crime are often reported.

Their means of making a living is dubious, and does not lead to a contributi­on to the society on whose backs they are living.

When a fleet of travellers turns up to occupy land illegally, every vehicle should first be clamped until the necessary court orders have been served.

When that happens, units should be unclamped only when the owner has paid all dues and cleared the site of all filth.

I am all in favour of registered traveller sites, provided users pay appropriat­e fees to cover the provision of site, staff, water and waste disposal.

However, that might not be an attractive propositio­n to those who are reluctant to run to such expense. THE world got rid of one dictator in the name of Hitler. Is the world seeing the emergence of another, in the name of Trump?

This guy is sacking everybody in power in the US administra­tion to get his own way and eliminate every rival who opposes his views, any reporter who asks a sensitive question suffers a dressing down.

As for his barbed wire comments, he is sadly lacking any diplomacy.

Any US official is soon out of office if they don’t agree with him.

He seems to think as long the Dow Jones shows profits and the country is on the up financiall­y he will stay popular, a typical tycoon’s thinking.

Yes there is a world leader who thinks he is always right, like Hitler, a man who suffers from grand delusions.
