Even though I live on the other side of Essex, there has been a lot of talk today about the eviction of the travellers from the illegal bit of their site in Basildon.

I've looked at this from many angles, seen the news, listened to the reports and read many articles but I still can't make up my mind. I really can see both sides in this sorry situation. The travellers set up camp without planning permission, and have been difficult about it ever since. Basildon council are being so over jobsworthy it's now becoming a stupid massive expense.

I'd like to hear some other org views (so long as they're not nasty or racist or inflammatory) because as far as I see it, they're all in the wrong!
