Gypsies, tramps and City of York Council
I’d like to congratulate CoYC on, for the first time I can recall, using their brains when it comes to getting a result.
How clever of them to ask the travellers to move their horses on to the site of Disasterthorpe, no doubt in return for a discount on their Council Tax bills (Oops! I forgot they don’t pay!), to deter dog-walkers from using the fields.
Now this tactic isn’t bad at all. I certainly won’t let my dogs loose on the field while those horses are there. Not just because I’m fearful they may take a fatal kick, but because I don’t want my dogs coming back telling me they’ve swapped a juicy marrowbone for a bag of clothes pegs!
Seriously though, what happens when the time comes to ask the travellers to move on with their horses? Where do they go? CoYC won’t have thought that far ahead, which makes plenty of sense, as Galloway will be long gone by then, probably in Barbadosthorpe with his share of the pickings from this truly scandalous affair.
Anyway, I have an idea for myself and my fellow users of the common land that is about to be “ecologically cleansed” by the conspirators of JRF and CoYC. It involves 100 dogs with diarrhoea, a skip, a hosepipe, and a trip to Stirrup Close in Foxwood to “ecologically renovate” an area that, though already full of bullshit, may further benefit from some organic canine fertiliser. Our dogs need somewhere to shit - why not on the doorstep of the man who will benefit most from Disasterthorpe?
Galloway has shit on our doorsteps, it’s a fair trade off if you ask me!
See you soon…
