    Travellers don't have souls! You can perform the test from "Blade Runner" and a Traveller's eyes don't flicker.

    I have no sympathy for the Police, a helicopter worth £5million should have had better security.

    After threatening staff working in the operations room, they set about wrecking the helicopter, smashing six of its windows and causing tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage.

    It is expected to be out of action for another two weeks while repairs are made.
    Three days to fix the damage, another eleven to get the smell out of the cockpit.

    The identities of the mob members are unkown - does that mean that a police station has no CCTV, and nobody watching over a 5 Million pound asset sitting out the back?

    Will teach them not to be retards, hopefully.

    do the english police actually call them gypsies? :D

    The English police absolutely ****ing hate them. 9 times out of ten they don't bother arresting them, they just give them a good kicking and let them go. They always abscond anyway.

    On the contrary galwayrush, we were poor, superstitious, unwashed uneducated and one meal away from criminality of some sort or another. They took it to the roads while we starved to death or got 'civilised'.

    Clannish - in fact verging on tribalism betimes, unwilling to lose face, prone to violence, fond of gargle, a 'remarkably casual' attitude to laws, fond of sports, highly mercurial, industrious in their own way....They're probably the best idea of what we were notorious for over the last two millenia.

    So two weeks without aerial survilance.

    This means the bare knuckle fight to be King will only be available on PPV

    It's just a rights issue

    Those poor travellers.
    Obviously the one or two bad eggs letting them all down again.

    The police should really have known not to do their jobs. They shouldve built bigger fences too. Everyone should. Then things like this wont happen.
    I really feel for those travellers.
    My prayers go out to them.

    Infact an EC135 is the type our Gardai use and is rated as one of the quietest helicopters in the business.

    probably easy to hear if you are a thieving pikey trying to move stolen gear from the back of one car to another as well.:)
