DALE FARM UPDATE

The Dale Farm eviction may be back on any time soon, as the residents’ application for a High Court judicial review has been rejected.

For the last month Basildon Council and their racist enforcers, Constant and Co, have been on standby waiting for the green light to ethnically cleanse the former scrap yard of its Irish Traveller owners. So far the the process has cost Basildon Council a fortune. Lily Hayes, a Dale Farm supporter, said “This isn’t about planning regulations, it’s about prejudice. Basildon Council and the government don’t care about the welfare of this community – instead, they are intent on clearing them out of Basildon and willing to spend £22 million in the process. Today, the law has failed the Dale Farm community, leaving them at the mercy of the Tory’s confrontational eviction strategy.”
