England Forces Roma Back Onto the Road

-
Uprooted and Chased Out
-

-
East Dorset, the Barney family fights to keep their bungalow after having lived there for 10 years. The Dorset planning inspector will be forced to evict the family due to local anti-gypsy hysteria.
-
Mr Barney, 49, said: “We want to stop here for life.
“I’m a pure bred gypsy, but it’s come to the point where I want to get off the road. There’s no work for us now."
-
Hampshire, Southampton Road, Titchfield; the Smith family awaits the news today that they too might be forced back onto the road again. Michael Smith and his family are being targeted due to local complaints that the "gypsy family" causes "noise pollution". Additional complaints consist of "traffic hazards", "out of keeping with local appearance", and "unacceptable development within countryside".
-
No evidence has been officially presented since no real evidence can be brought to the table based upon the complaints listed above. This once again means that local citizens have given into anti-Gypsy emotions.
-
Just imagine if your family was suddenly, after some period of time (10 years to be exact), targeted due to your race. Perhaps you are even targeted due to your religion... that should strike a nerve. The complaints are as ludicrous and childish as the ones listed above. But lets take it to the next step... instead of just saying you and your family are noisy lets say you smell too (this has actually be listed as a complaint against Roma before).
-
Now the facts are that Roma don't smell any different than the people they live around. They don't cause "noise pollution" any more so than the people they live around. And they are just as likely to cause "traffic hazards" as the people they live around.
-
As for "unacceptable development"... this complaint clearly points toward the bigoted perspective of the local populations. They are more than willing to segregate their populations based upon race, religion, and creed (as is obvious by the distribution of the said populations throughout England) yet claim to be "progressive"?
-
To be truly "progressive" the Brits should stop acting like their French and German counterparts and fully accept the fact that Roma are always going to be present in British society. They were present in Germany before Hitler and were present after his Nazis fell. Endless persecutions have not hampered their ability to rise to the occasion and persevere in the face of oppression.
-
Instead the English government continues to flaunt its failed government programs to "assimilate" the traveller population into British society. All the while they continue to allow local government factors to attack Roma and force the travellers back out onto the highways. This policy of never letting the Roma settle-in will never permit them to join into the society Britain obvious doesn't want to allow them into. Therefore no number of programs to "educate" the Roma will ever make a difference when they aren't allowed to use the education for any length of time.
