Simple answer to make our county traveller free
WATCHING Derby City Council struggle towards successfully resolving matters is like waiting for the end of time and not knowing when that will be.
Surely it is not very creditable of the council to reveal that in eight months it has spent more than £12,000 evicting travellers, eight times, from land next to the Cattle Market without achieving a permanent result.
The answer however is extremely simple and the reverse of what you would expect.
Define the area of land concerned and post "clamping charge" notices for all wheeled vehicles (mobile homes, lorries, vans, cars and motor bikes) on all its entry and exit points and then let the clampers rip.
If this were done throughout Derbyshire, on all such blighted land, the whole county would quickly become a traveller-free zone.

“I have no idea which lunatic asylum you write from Citizen Derby, but how many travellers have you ever seen in a doctor's waiting room?
Where are people without birth certificates deported to?
Have you ever heard of the Inland Revenue or the DVLA prosecuting an individual with no birth certificate? NO .. because without a corporate identity statutory law cannot be applied.
Have you ever heard of anyone ever being prosecuted for failing to sign a birth certificate? Of course not .. and why do you think that is .... (see laws of contract).
Why, Citizen Derby, do you need to hide behind a false identity? What exactly are you afraid of?”

“Norman @ "Travellers are free people ... they hold no corporate identity (birth certificate) and are therefore not liable for taxes of any sort" what utter undiluted tripe! Everyone pays tax on their earnings otherwise they are breaking the law, and this applies to most countries, how else can a country pay for the services it provides for its citizens???. If you have no birth certificate you cannot have an N.I. number either, which means you cannot have free medical treatment.
Yet again you attack this country with your garbled tripe.
What of road tax! it is illegal to drive on British roads without paying road tax! Why should honest tax payers have to pay for the travellers? If travellers do not have birth certificates they do not have a right to be in this country at all! Travellers are not free, they come at a very high cost to all hard working British tax payers - which probably means YOU as well!
Norman give it a rest please!”

“Its not very often Peter West is right, but he's wrong again ! .... I was referring to people like him .... Travellers are free people ... they hold no corporate identity (birth certificate) and are therefore not liable for taxes of any sort.
.. And anyway, Peter pollutes many a local rag with his garbage .. so live and let live ... sod it .. let's kill 'em !”

“really?
Do you really think the Gypo's would be bothered by a clamp?
Simply remove it and weigh it in for scrap, or they would leave it with the rest of the rubbish pile when they leave”
