I'm so glad I don't live in Basildon, for they do seem to have spent millions of pounds very unwisely and unsuccessfully in trying to move on the travellers on the Dale Farm site. They knew they needed a big budget for this - surely the best thing would have been, with this huge amount of money to spend, to make some arrangement with the travellers as to where it would be acceptable for them to move to instead of just spending it all on lawyers' fees. Even if they had succeeded in evicting them all by this method, they are not just going to evaporate into thin air. They must be allowed and to be willing to live SOMEWHERE.
I go back to the same old theme. Isn't there anybody there able to come to a common sense solution?
This blog is a plea for common sense in public policy. Our leaders don't seem to have any. They just make daft rules for us to follow. We need to assert our right to use our own good sense instead of ticking boxes which can only say 'yes' or 'no'.
