NEVER ENDING TORY

With the next election looming large, it seems the time for political parties to start cranking up their pre-election spin machines and spew out vote grabbing promises has arrived.

The Tories, ever aware of the electoral appeal of victimising minorities, are going back to basics by targeting their good ol’ favourite victims, travellers and squatters.

In an attempt to win over our lovely nation, David Cameron has put forward a proposal to create a criminal offence of ‘intentional trespass’ to allow travellers and squatters to be evicted by the police without the usual hassle of the landowner having to apply through the civil courts for an eviction.

With immediate, fuss-free arrests on the cards, the proposals signal a sure fire end to the ability for squatters to stay one step ahead of the game.

The proposals will also curtail ‘special treatment’ on retrospective planning applications for traveller sites and axe Whitehall rules which call on local councils to provide sites for travellers to use.

The Tories eh? Remember them?
