THE eviction of the Dale Farm travellers’ site has really brought out Britain’s good side, it has been confirmed.

As police and bailiffs did a fantastic job of putting the boot in, they were cheered on by millions of people around the country who finally got the chance to see their seething anti-Gypsy bigotry played out on live television.

Meanwhile, the brave travellers, most of whom have not moved a muscle in 10 years, were defended by anti-establishment protestors with a passionate hatred for stone cold facts.

Earlier the travellers made barriers from asbestos sheeting in a bid to give policemen lung cancer, while the police responded with the sort of joyful, improvised brutality they usually reserve for middle class students.

Television news crews were in the thick of the action to ensure Britain’s gypsy-haters went off to work with a spring in their steps, while also allowing left-wingers who are very impressed with themselves to fill twitter with the word ‘holocaust’.

The Tory leader of Basildon council repeated his claim that the eviction was merely the ultimate enforcement of planning law, while knowing that most of the people who vote for him think Irish travellers are a sub-species and could not care less about the piffling technicalities.

Julian Cook, professor of quirky factoids at Roehampton University, said: “While generalisations tend to be unreliable, Irish traveller communities do seem to share a belief in two key things – family and making money.

“Just like Mrs Thatcher.”

He added: “But Vanessa Redgrave likes them because they are disliked by the people she dislikes. It’s all very intelligent stuff.

“Meanwhile, they are being clubbed so enthusiastically because they sometimes leave litter behind and have the sort of tax avoiding skills that make the rest of us so incredibly jealous.

“Another great day for Britain. Well done!”
