Thumbs down Travellers Guilty of Slavery!

They don't care what they do, do they?

Four members of a traveller family have been found guilty of forcing destitute men into servitude.

Tommy Connors Snr, 52, his son Patrick Connors, 20, and daughter Josie, 31, kept the men in squalid conditions at Greenacres caravan park in Bedfordshire, the trial heard.

Josie's husband James John Connors, 34, has also been found guilty.

Luton Crown Court heard victims were made to work for nothing and slept in sheds and horseboxes.

The jury heard that victims were verbally abused, beaten and exploited for financial gain at the Greenacres caravan site near Leighton Buzzard.

And they think they are victims themselves ........ scum.

Obviously the strong hint, 'found guilty', wasn't enough for him.

Faye will kick tha sh*te outta ya for that remark.

And by Faye I mean Robsy's alter ego. In a dress. With a rusty hand axe. Pressed up against your rain-soaked bedroom window, lightening illuminating him/her.

I find it difficult to understand how they managed to set all that up anyway!
