I can see both sides too,especially after Kelvin Mckenzie spouting out with his hysterics on This Morning made me re-think how I thought a bit too.
They shouldn't have built on the land but did buy it. I don't know if they pay water rates or council tax, I would doubt they do but cannot say for certain.
It's costing £18 million pound to evict them anyway,it seems there is little common sense on both sides on this one. It's hard to believe some better compromise could not have been thought of and talked through rather than reach where things are now after 10 years too.What has been going on all that time?
