Well if the gyppos will steal cable and burn off the insulation so they can sell it to scrap metal dealers...what do you expect? If you have noticed and accrid smell from Redbridge area, that's exactly what they're doing.
These theiving vermin need to be exterminated.

I can sympazise with the lady worried about her family, but I hope she can understand most people in Redbridge Hollow only create discomfort and to the locals with their behaviour and attitude. If they were to be more respectful to all others there would be much less animosity, I am sure.
I have seen youths from the Hollow (I have seen then walk back to the Hollow)leaving cars to burn under the bridge going into Kennington after having stloen them (this is only an assumption).
It seems you feel you can do whatever you want the the laws that were put in place for the civic well-being do not apply to you.
Do you really feel the above comments to be unjust?

You cannot be robbing scum 99% of the time and then expect to be treated well the other 1% of the time.
You deserve everything you get......scum.

I am truly shocked at anyone advocating this sort of inhuman behaviour that belongs in another time in history. Of course it is a well known fact that people from the settled community don't break the law, it says so everyday in the Oxford Mail.

Yes there are bad apples (usually youngsters) but to lay the blame on the whole of a community is pure irrational fascism. But then we are talking Oxford.
The residents of which clearly regret the ending of witchburning. Such primeavel thinking being given a "respectable" gloss of course.
Incidentally, it wasnt a "rubbish" fire but a good one.

To them ,you and i are nothing but stupid "Buffers"(settled fools).

Whilst I admire your baiting of some of the more ignorant contributers to this site I think that taring all of us in Oxfordshire with the same brush is a little like their portrail of the whole of the traveller comunity as thieves and rogues. We are not all the same. As for the fires they are a pain and the situation needs to be addressed. It is not fair that people living in the area should have to put up with this. The proper people to do this are the Thames Valley Police and they should act as a matter of urgency.
The genocide suggested by some in these pages is a disgrace and if left unchallanged would make me ashamed to call myself British. So well done for speaking out and I support you in doing so

At the moment it seems that the whole of Oxfordshire supports the narrow minded racist xenophobic bullshit that infects this site.
As much as I recognise that demonising and attacking anything that isn't white, middle class, intellectually vacuous and generally mediocre is the bourgeois way of perpetuating their comfort inducing delusions (which border on the psychotic)it reflects badly on the county in general.

The same experience that says that all "wogs" are wifebeaters, everybody on council estates are dole scroungers,and seeks to denegrate all groups of people other than drug dealers who you bastards believe should be canonised.
