Very cathartic to see these scrubby leeches taught a lesson.
Oh would love to see how this ends. I wonder if they went round the caravans in ever decreasing circles, spreading the muck until they decided they should move? lol
Funny how one of them got in their car and drove up close only to realize it’s not a good idea to wreck the car.
It's the smell and the flies that are the repellent.
Who wants to camp in a field that smells overpoweringly of pig shit?
Oh, you mean the slurry.
Pig shit is the worst. I assumed this was from cattle which is pretty rank.
as someone who lives a few miles from a dairy farm, can confirm. 100%, would not recommend
In the village I grew up in once a year for about a week the farmers surrounding the valley it was nestled in would slurry their fields. I shit you not (pun intended) the eyes would water, the nose would burn, everyone would have their windows shut half baking to death rather than smell the damn stench.
It being within feet of, or worse, on your domicile is a fate worse than death.
Travellers
Last I checked the farmers around by me use sewage, I imagine these are the same - it's probably human shit.
You don't use human shit on fields. You use cow shit mixed with cow piss
Human excrement is widely used in the UK and Europe as fertiliser. It’s treated first to remove any contaminants and pathogens though.
Wouldn’t bet on it. That’s one of the big contentious points right now with waste companies supplying to farmers. The regulations were massively stripped back post brexit, and with privately held companies who govern themselves, a lot of shit slips through the cracks (literally).
That is so unsanitary. Human shit is nasty. Filled with bugs.
Maybe you should visit your doctor?
The icing on the cake would have been one of those planes they use to scoop up water and dump it on fires... or just a good old fashioned arial crop dusting of pig shit
Brilliant 👏
They could definitely coordinate better, you can pincer the guys attacking them so they can't avoid getting covered in shit without diving under the moving tractors.
This was in 🇫🇷 France a few years ago . Karma farmer
In the UK the farmers would be arrested for hurting the feelings of the squatters.
In UK could still spray muck next to the caravans so only the smell affects them.
Exactly the same as in this video.
Can you drive through the caravans and spray as well? Being from the US I find this fascinating. Our farmers are way less tolerant.
I believe it. People get shot there just knocking on a door and asking for directions. I'm off to double check the child mortality from gun shot wounds in Scotland today.
The US's interpretation of the Castle Doctrine or Stand Your Ground are pretty wild. If these people are on their property, depending on what state they are in it can be viewed as justifiable to shoot them if you feel they are endangering your within your property lines.
Yeah, the US seems not to have any nomadic populations. I wonder why that is.
In the US there is a huge nomadic population plus over a million folk living in the woods classed as transient. New legislation classes the transient as homeless and punitive measures, including work camps, are on the way. So much for land of the free eh
The bus fare to get there is probably too dear 🤣
No.
Ultimately, trespass is a civil offence, criminal damage is..well...criminal.
And spraying someone's vehicle with liquefied excrement is criminal damage.
The law expects you to go to court and get an injunction to have them removed from your land.
Once the injunction is in place either bailiffs or police can remove them, but most sensible groups would be gone before that.
In the UK, the farmers would be forced to give up their tractors and homes to those poor squatters 🥲
No they wouldnt. Stop making shit up.
Not entirely. I know of a few local farmers who admittedly 20 years ago did something similar to a layby near where I live. There was a spate of slurry protests against the council and a bank around the same time, they got arrested for that one. Seems legal still to say, I'm spreading this field tomorrow whether your in or out. Police will probably show up eventually to arrest the farmer nowadays in all honesty though
I know this is a joke, but they wouldn't!
"These days"
These days you can't even spray thousands of gallons of animal effluent on people when you want them to leave. Christmas at ours is a bloody nightmare these days.
When did this come in?
Probably not mate. Where do we even get these ideas from? The Daily Mail isn’t real life
Looks like a joke triggered you. LOL
These days if you say you're English, you'll be arrested and thrown in jail.
Wdf hahahahahahahahhahahhahahaha
It’s a joke from a comedian called Stewart Lee.
You're telling me that if you say you're English these days, you'll be arrested and thrown in jail?
Yeah he's saying these days, if you say you're English, you'll be arrested and thrown in jail
Actually thrown in jail?
Just for saying you're English?
These days…
what if he says he's english but is actually welsh?
Yes. Apparently, it's racist, xenophobic hate speech to remind anyone that our country has an indigenous population.
You have missed the joke my friend. Google "Stewart Lee, These Days"
No, the idiocy there is the failure to recognise that the idea that anyone can truly claim themselves to be an indigenous Briton is laughable.
Do I detect dissent against UK government policies?
Where is the censorship hammer!!! Ban these dissenters and send them to the thought police for re-education.
Don't remember this bit of Stewart Lee ?
More V for vendetta meets clockwork orange.
Finally, can't believe they just let it go this long.
When did this come in?
these days
Mum, is that you?
Not quick enough unfortunately
Try saying you are English white male, that's a hanging offence for just thinking it.
100 per cent you are a fat white guy, high blood pressure, alcoholic but justifies it because "they just have the one bottle with dinner", fat fingered, holidays in Spain and complains about the food, diabetes having, shirt too small and a reform voter.
You might want to check out the Stewart Lee sub, for the context of the "These days saying xxxx will get you arrested " comments 🙂
The only way to do it as the police won't even care.
Police here would arrest the sprayers while leaving the "travellers" to their thing.
Because it's a civil issue...
It's not my opinion you ghouls.
A civil issue requiring farmers to deal with what is basically a criminal enterprise
Sure... but the crime of trespass is civil. I didn't write the law.
So we can deal with it by our own civil means?
Yes you are allowed to use reasonable force to remove someone from your private property.
But you’re not though.
It's not a civil issue when they are trying to attack the people in the tractors.
I know you don't agree with the "civil issue" but and are just saying what the police say when you report it.
Any solicitor worth his money would simply argue "There was no attack, my client reasonably believed that the driver of the tractor was attempting to commit the offence of administering a noxious substance with intent to injure, aggrieve or annoy and so used both his common law power of self-defence and his power under S3 of the Criminal Law Act to use force to prevent said offence".
Edit: my first sentence appeared a little biased, so I've removed it and left the last part.
Don't know where that's from, that is not where the defence of public/private defence comes from, commonly referred to as self-defence. S3 of the Criminal Law Act 1977 deals with conspiracy....
CLA 1967, not 1977. Two separate Acts.
Edit: here.
It's not a civil issue and hasn't been for a few years - it's a criminal offence under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022.
This offence is committed when a person:
Resides or intends to reside on land without the consent of the occupier.
Has at least one vehicle with them on the land.
Fails to leave the land or remove their property when requested to do so by the occupier or a police officer.
And, in doing so, they have caused, or are likely to cause, significant damage, disruption, or distress.
The key addition here is the criminalization of the act itself under these specific conditions. Before this Act, trespass was a civil matter, and police powers were more limited. This new offence provides a stronger legal basis for police to intervene and allows them to:
Arrest a person for committing the offence.
Seize vehicles that are involved.
The maximum penalty for this offence is a fine, a prison sentence of up to three months, or both.
> Before this Act, trespass was a civil matter
It still is. The 2022 Act doesn't criminalise trespass- it just creates a specific offence for which trespass is a precursor.
Read the post again slowly.
Does the traveller incursion shown fit any of the criteria listed?
If it does then it's not a civil matter.
The trespass is. The offence under the 2022 Act isn't. I was only referring to the former.
I agree that they're likely to be committing the offence- I just disagree that the trespass itself is criminal.
Edit: to be clear, your statement beginning "Before this Act..." seems to imply that trespass is now criminal. That's all I was responding to.
So do you now agree that what we see here is not a civil issue?
I always did, as I said above.
A second time- I simply disagreed with the implication that trespass itself was now criminal.
Edit: two criminal issues- the offence under the 2022 Act, and the offence under the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act.
Edit: if you're going to downvote, at least join in and discuss. It's not like this is a difference of opinion- it's the law.
God, you're dense
Go on lads
Is that a Ferrari on that trailer?!
Yes
Yep its a 360 or possibly a 430, anywhere from £60k - £150k depending on mileage and gearbox.
Always wondered what address the tax renewals go to
One rule for thee…
Normally in the name of one of the elders, so all the tickets go against a 90+ year old woman who turns up to court after a few years & promptly gets away with it scot free.
It's an F430. You have to wonder who it actually belongs to.
Lets just say the DVLA is unlikely to hold the current keeper details..
Because this is in France?
It depends on which number plate is currently on
Nice looking Porsche there too
I approve, a farmer's gota do what farmers do.
Nightmare fuel
I believe it's shit actually
Are those British travellers in France or do they have their own?
Look like French travellers I notice that the travellers on the continent are much tidier!
Everywhere has travellers.
I'm pretty sure Germany hasn't got any travelers.
they have Roma. Same thing.
There's a reason for that, I believe 😬
There's a Jimmy Carr joke in there somewhere.
imagine thinking it was worth getting sprayed head to toe with shit and risking getting your head run over by a tractor
Always thought that getting a load of WW2 air said sirens and playing them 24/7 would get them out of there real quick.
Oh shiate 😂
What are the trucks spraying ?
Chocolate!
Forbidden nibs
Manure. The smell is quite unforgettable!!
Might just be a farm boy in me but it's not a bad smell. Definitely distinctive and you would want to smell it 24/7 but it's not a bad smell.
Depends. If it’s cow dung it’s not so bad, but if it’s that stuff that seems to be laced with human stuff it can smell absolutely horrendous. Drove passed a huge field of it the other day in the heat and it was like someone had diarrhoea’d right in my air vents.
Cow is fine...
But spreading pig slurry... you have to have a strong constitution and/or have lived near farms that use it for a long time.
Muck spreading with Cow makes me think of home. With pig, it also reminds me of home, but it's not pleasant.
My partner is also a farmer boy, he actually says he likes the smell. Weirdos.
Loving it.
Love it. The only thing that is worrysome is that those travellers know where the farmers live. Can't imagine there wouldn't be any retaliation for this.
Ah the people that reject society...but soon as they need a hospital that changes quick.
Is that a Ferrari 360 Modena I spy? Could be an MR2 with a body kit. Tarmaccing drives and giving out free daags pays well I see.
This is from France; European travellers don't typically do that sort of thing.
Heroes, one and all.
What's the back story to this?
Good on them (farmers, not the squatters)
I hope that was pig slurry.
My dog got into some once and it took a month of daily baths to get rid of the stench.
Hilarious.... Any updates as to what happened? Did the travellers move on?
Now I know who to call the next time I have travellers making a mess of my car park.
This isn't the UK wrong plates and English farmers don't have the balls for this. It's France.
Makes a nice change. It's normally them spreading shit everywhere.
I would have done it in the middle of the night 🤣
This reminds me of the opening scene in 28 days later lol
Now plough it in.
That's the way to do it.😁
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Excellent work, spraying shit on people with a shitty culture.
Fucking pikey cunts
The french don't fuck about.
...Boys pack up the Moorcroft we're moving house!!..
these are irish travellers right?
You are a child molester
Stay it on or near there caravans, otherwise no point
Was on GB News this morning. Only the French could do this ! Apparently the Mayor would not act, with these caravans turning up year after year.
France is 'our' land now?
If only we could do the same thing with residential squatters.
I was jogging on a public footpath that skirted a field last year and they were spraying about a quarter mile up wind. The smell was so, SO bad I though I might go insane. All encompassing, nightmare inducing filth. I would leave Earth to avoid that smell again.
Is that a Ferrari f360 on a trailer?
These squatters have better cars than me, what the fuck.
I never understood why you couldn’t just set squatters on fire.
It's weird to see farmers in other countries that don't own a small armory of weapons. In America, jumping on the farmer's tractor would probably be more than enough to justify straight up killing the person in self defense.
So farmer driving around his field. And they're upset?
The farmers house probably got set on fire not long after, if these were gypsies.
Culture Boss
Ha!!
I know of a farmer in the UK who did very similar but they ploughed the field and left a narrow route out, they told them that they had a day to leave before they ploughed the last strip of easily drivable ground. They came back the next day and they had all left
That’s the most effort those squatters have put into anything in their lives.
There is literally a red supercar in there, I would key that shit too lol, good job on the farmers side
Landlords should be hung. Dregs of humanity.
All the shit was given that day.
It's a sight to behold, beautiful. If the police doesn't do shit people will come with witty ideas of how to deal with idiots.
The absolute audacity of them trying to get to the farmers. “Stop spraying us with shit! You’re making it harder for us to trespass on your land!”
They way they throught they can scare them w the car like "this tractor has more marks than me-"
I cannot believe how nasty some people are on here. Travellers need to stay somewhere and we, as a society, keep removing legitimate sites. Sure it’s great to spray shit everywhere but where is the compassion. In UK there are clearly defined procedures for removing travellers of inappropriate sites and they should be followed. What the farmers are doing in France, and it is the same in the UK is criminal and is assault.
Says someone's who's never had them parked on their car park.
I'm not from Europe. Is "Traveler" some kind of PC way of saying squatter or trespasser? Who are these "travelers?"
the UK and Ireland has Irish travellers which are ethnicly distinct from the roma or gypsy communities.
Considering that video is from France a few years ago, these people are probably new aged travelers, who are basically intransigent hippies.
In general its a group of familes that live in caravans with no fixed abode, they "travel" the country and others. They are great people in my experiance, interesting society. They generaly pull their children out of School ASAP to teach them a trade of some sort. Despite this many are very wealthy and have successful businesses. The sons inherit everything, thee girls start a new family so "have to marry well". Im preaty sure very Catholic and often an Irish accent.
A very interesting sub-culture in the United Kingdom.
Wrong, we have a yearly visit from travellers at my grandparents estate in Brittany, they come for an annual faire. We’ve had them at other times too, mainly as seasonal workers, and sometimes they have come at unreasonable or less convenient times. Because we have always respected them they respect us and move on when asked.
I inherited the estate last year and have made it clear to the estate managers that they are to be continued to be welcomed.
I’m not a bigot and respect that whilst I would not live their lifestyle it’s perfectly acceptable.
Then you get a better class of traveller.
I've had them parked on the car park of my business premises on 4 occasions now.
Every single time they absolutely trashed the place. Left piles of (literal) shit and cost thousands of pounds worth of damage. I've been personally threatened with violence, as have my employees.
Trying to be accommodating doesn't work.
I saw something similar in the car park across from an office I used to work in. They used bolt cutters to destroy the gates leading into the car park and pulled up the hedge so they could drive their vehicles in. Completely trashed the place whilst their kids booted footballs against the office windows.
No our relationship has been built up over decades. The UK (and parts of France) has created the problems by being total shits to the traveller community.
Good for you, but I'm not buying that.
There are two distinctly different types of traveller in the UK.
One type largely keep to themselves. I have a relative who is part of that community. Most people in the UK aren't even aware they exist.
The second type actively court aggro with local communities.
Have the second type been unfairly treated in the UK? On occasions sure (but then who hasn't?). But on the whole their treatment has been a lot more lenient than many other groups receive, given the magnitude of the trouble they cause.
My relationship with them goes back over 40 years. My first employer had massive problems with them going back decades before that.
I've tried accommodation. I've provided electric, I've provided water, etc. etc. They've no interest. The more you give, the more piss they take. Still trashed my place, trashed my neighbours, trashed my community. Still came back for more.
I'm done. Next time the gloves are off.
I think the key word is “agreement“ you have one, the shit absorbing ones on this video do not.
Come to the UK
Buy some land
Let them stay
Report back on what happens
I live in UK and have land. I’ve just proposed one of my properties to be licensed as a traveller site but the local authority took the decision that it was not to be.
Just contact the travelling community and say they can use it anyway
They are the most wonderful people on earth
If I did that, I would be in breach of planning law and I'd take the legal hit/fine. What I have done is offer another less suitable field, and left it unlocked. I will annoy the local dog walkers cos it has a footpath running through it, but they were the bastards who objected to the original proposal.
BTW I'm pro the Romany community cos, like my Jewish family and my gay family were all persecuted as minorities. I have a real thing about giving minorities a break.
Fuck them - I live in an area where they try and break in to fields and squat during the summer - where ever they pitch up crime rises, anti-social behaviour rises, scams rise and the place is left trashed when the pathetic procedures are finally enforced which takes way too long, should be instant.
What the farmers did in France is fine, merely spraying their own fields, working the land as that's what they do.. no one was assaulted, not a single "innocent" traveler was touched
Curious what people think travellers and gypsies are actually supposed to do when no one wants them on any land.
Nobody wants me on their land either. I had to buy a house myself
If I wanted to keep horses I would have to buy a field and stables.
Maybe, just maybe if you have a Ferrari I dont have sympathy for you wanting to takeover someone elses land.
Do you have a garden you would offer up? Or a front drive.
I don't, I have to rent off a landlord because some people have land and others don't.
You should just travel to your neighbors and stop paying rent. Thats how it works right?
They don't move into people's houses though do they. They're parking on land.
Go pitch a tent in your neighbors yard and have a porta John delivered to the curb. Since you’re not in the house they won’t mind, right?
Landlords in the landlord sub are loving the false equivalences.
How is that a false equivilancy?? you literally said:
> They don't move into people's houses though do they. They're parking on land.
So, I asked why not park in your neighbors yard? OR, better drive down to the local park, and set up shop there- youre just parking afterall, so NBD.
Youre up and down this post being a contrarian twit about the whole thing, so I know you will just feign more ignorance or try to grandstand about how this is their culture, etc. People like you are the reason everyone hates PETA.
So the answer is clear?
Buy their own land to destroy. They are not short of money you pathetic person.
That's a bit rude. People just love to hate on travellers. If they bought their own land to live on they wouldn't be doing much travelling would they?
They would, and could. There are numerous traveller-owned sites around the country. The idea isn't to stay on these owned sites permanently (although some do, and they're still travellers) - it's to travel between them.
Space on these sites is rented by the traveller owners to the traveller occupants.
It's a bit odd to think that they would be compelled to stay permanently on any piece of land they own. As you say, they travel.
It's not rude at all they are mostly criminal scum.
It's rude to call me a pathetic person
Good point. I might start sleeping in your bed actually as nobody else will let me. You okay with that?
I could buy my own of course, just don't fancy it when I can just have yours and see no repurcussions, also I will shit all over the bed and leave a dead horse there when I leave is that okay?
Would be unfair if you didn't let me because nobody else wants me either.
They're travellers. Not landowners. They travel. It's their culture.
That doesn't mean the rest of us have to deal with the outcome of their 'traveling'
They can travel all they want and see the sites like tourists if they want to, stay in a hotel. But we've had them near us and they absolutely destroy whatever town they roll into.
Because they're generally quite vile people, why would anyone want them? They "occupied" a field not far from where I live, and our robberies went from 1 in a year, to 24 in a month. Not to mention harassing the locals and businesses.
Awful people. They can buy a field. They won't.
They own many fields.
Why was your whole village robbing the travellers? What did the travellers have that your village wanted to steal 24 times a month?
