Fair play to them, it's in Basildon for pity's sake... it's not like it's spoiling anywhere nice!

The article is over a year old!! You'll be pleased to know they didn't get their way as this is how it looks now

I saw the title of the thread and wondered how far down this thread I'd need to go before someone used the word 'scum', unremarkable I got to post 2

Why must we refer to our fellow human beings in such appalling terms?

jonc

I'm sure you'd refer to them as scum if they nicked all the lead off your roof.

I hope not

The irony of your post sitting just below the picture telling us exactly why is quite amusing

What he said !

Oops - so it is.
Only came across the article by mistake and didn't check the date.
AFAIK, these guys haven't moved too far and are currently located in the road leading to the original "green field" site.

And dehumanising them helps...how exactly?

TelBoy

Not sure i get your point either, Martin. I know Basildon well, and some of the detritus living there is not worthy of the term human except in a scientific sense, in my opinion.

I live about 20 miles from that site. And have had the misfortune to encounter the occupants on more than one occasion, and they don't need anyone dehumanising them, they are quite capable of doing that on their own.

Who said it helps?
As they don't live near me, they can trash the environment as much as they like - no skin off my nose, or indeed yours I dare say.
