They don't own that land. They turned up about 12 years ago and started building prefab houses and moving in caravans. It looks like a mini-City of God over there at times. The company that owns out houses and that land has changed hands a couple times since they moved in and every time somebody new owns these places they try to get them off that land but it doesn't happen.
They then put their horses out to graze on land that also doesn't belong to them. Which in our area means the lawns of other people and some swamp land in front of a sewage plant down the road. Again, not their land.
Not many over there pay taxes and they the source of much of the drugs dealt in our town. About twice a year the police are over there doing a raid. We know because they have to block off the road to flush the drains for the drugs they put down the toilet when they saw them coming.
On bonfire night - and for like the two weeks surrounding it - they aim fire works at our houses. Last year a number landed on balconies and roofs. Not only at night but during the day and not only at houses but at people daring to use the car wash which was put next to their site after some of the land was managed to be claimed back from them. If you use that car was during the fireworks period you better run into your car.
