Is it me, or is the chance of this saying “Save Dole Farm” pretty high? :lol: :lol:

Well I maybe it was photoshopped by the Daily Mail? :lol:


No - it was like that on the BBC footage. It’s an interesting example of what Orwell referred to as “the neat writing of the illiterate”.

Update:

Quote:
A judge has ruled Basildon Council can remove caravans from 49 out of 54 plots at the Dale Farm travellers' site once outstanding legal issues are resolved.

The judge at the High Court told the council it could also remove the majority of concrete pitches on the site.

The ruling states however that walls, fences and gates should remain on site.


I’m not sure what these are:
Quote:
Residents have also made three separate applications for judicial review to stop the clearance of their homes, which are due to be heard later this week.


Maybe they’ll be kicking off late this week or early next week then.

It's quite clever actually. All your anti-establishment rentaprotesters are on the horns of dilemma - do you go to Dale Farm, or do you goto Manchester to cause a ruckus outside the Tory Conference?

Residents at the UK's largest travellers' site have lost a High Court challenge to halt their eviction.

The group from Dale Farm in Essex had tried to stop the process with three applications for judicial review.

But Mr Justice Ouseley has refused all three saying it was "astonishing" that residents had delayed their legal action almost to the day of eviction.

The travellers have been fighting eviction for 10 years but have said they will lodge a further appeal.

Good.
As I've said before: Everyone else has to follow the law, why should they be exempt.

They're planning to appeal again :lol:. At this point they're just throwing money at lawyers, they're dreaming if they think they can win. Plus they have to wait a week before they can get another injunction and in that week there's no-one stopping the council enforcing the original order. By the time they can appeal most of them will have had to find new places to live anyway.

Why are they even allowed to appeal again and again and again?
Surely there is a limit?

You can appeal to each level of court (County, High and Supreme) and then you can appeal differnt point of law

If you have lots of money then you can drag a case out for a long time

e.g Appeal "point A" through the varoius levels - if that fails then do the same with Point B and so on

You should be made to appeal all points of law at the same time. Dragging it out is an abuse that the courts should not tolerate.

Whilst a good idea in theory it could result in someone not being able to appeal a point of law that they genuinly missed the 1st time around

They should have got better lawyers the first time round then.

Obvious question - who is funding the lawyers? I doubt it's them - they patently aren't that rich. Is it some political pressure group? Is it the taxpayer through legal aid? Exactly what is the deal here?
