Why are the traveller familes of Dale Farm, Basildon, building homes without planning permission when investigative journalists have shown some own property in Rathkeale, in the Republic of Ireland.

Other people abusing the planning system would have had their property demolished within 18 months.

It is utterly disgusting they are hiding behind human rights and that judges are giving injunctions which delay the authorities in doing their duty to uphold the law of this land.

This has got to end with the travellers’ eviction and the land returned to green belt.
