A bit of a rant and some self opinion, I don't intend to offend.
A couple of years ago whilst the Sage and I were on holiday, my garage got visited by some traveler types, they obtained some tools, a battery from the ASBO and anything else that was easily appropriated.
In the unfruitful attempt to get the 5 spare wheels and tires that make up my wet set they knocked one of my cycle carriers from the rafters and some blood did flow, quite a bit of it !
The conversation with the police over the phone came close to breaking my law abiding spirit..... to sum it up the plod said "it doesn't matter that there's blood over your car, we can sample it for DNA but to be honest it's not worth the aggro"
So does that mean that they don't want to take on the travelers? It certainly left me with that impression.
Lets fast forward to yesterday, I was deeply saddened to read of the death of a police officer, who was simply doing his job.
"But that's life" many will say, "it goes with the territory".
Come forward to today and the news reports.....a traveler site and the occupants thereof have been named......
I can't help but think that the police reluctance to challenge the illegal activities of these "tribes" of travelers has led to these "tribes" thinking that they are untouchable.
To run anyone over with intent is abhorrent, but to run down a copper doing his job just beggars belief, I'm not an ....ist of any description, but I hope with all my heart that the actions of these tribal vermin will at last bite them in the A*se..... I hope every police officer in the UK will now focus a new level of energy in dealing with this disgusting class of humanity.
I'll shut up now before I get a ban.
Nem..........
