We don't all hate the Dale Farm travellers

7:52am Tuesday 12th June 2007 in Letters

I am sick and tired of reading about how travellers are the cause of house prices slumping, how the Crays Hill School has been taken over by them, how the Oak Road area is a no-go area as settled communities feel threatened.

Now these poor people are to be forced off the site by way of bulldozers.

I wish I could do something for these poor people, but alas I'm just an ordinary person.

I have no big house, no big bank balance and no posh car, but what I do have is compassion for all human beings.

I will be standing at the gates of the Dale Farm site if the council decides to send in the heavy mob just to look them in the eye and to give my support to the travelling people.

I'm sure there must be many other members of the settled community who would like to do the same.

Good luck to you all at Dale Farm and please take heart and see that not all settled people are the same.
