  • They are not only living in the coal sheds but that they are also living in tents, I was driving to Sainsburys at Oxney Road the other day and saw two tents in the hedge rows, also in the hedgerows close to Ikea warehouse, Werrington at Cuckoos hollow and along the Stanground backwater. Its sad that in this day and age in the UK people live like this.

    i wouldn't worry, because if labour get in again, within a year or so they will all be given homes, plasma, free broadband plus optional staffie.

    I've a friend living in Peterborough who's pretty keen to move out. The Polish invasion is a big part of her discomfort.

    I still can't get used to having beggars on the streets. And I wish I didn't have to.

    Trespass is a civil matter. Plod will not intervene.

    That's actually completely wrong, as the article implies. What the householders need to do is call the Police to witness the expulsion of a trespasser. When they arrive, the householder tells the trespasser to leave. If he doesn't, the Police can arrest him for BOP.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Hang on, if they are from EU countries, how can they be illegal immigrants?

    Freedom of movement?

    Police deal with trespass differently up and down the country. What they should do and what they actually do may often be different matters.

    Trespass is also a civil matter.

    Not true sadly. You have the Common Law right to remove a tresspasser using the minimum required force. If they fight back and you are unable due to size or infirmity then the Police can assist.

    With regards B.O.P Police must release a suspect once the breach of the peace has stopped so once removed from garden suspect is released and returns. If I am standing quietly in your garden how am I breaching the peace? I am tresspassing and you can get a court order to remove me or remove me yourself but I am not creating a breach of the peace. If you attack me then you will get arrested for assault or breach of the peace.
