Travellers set up camp in Newcastle

GYPSIES  have set up camp in Newcastle. The Travellers have declared that they will stay there "for life" after descending on a car park just outside the city centre. Dozens of families, with caravans, transit vans and pets in tow started arriving near to the Sage Great Park, in Gosforth, on Saturday - and are now refusing to budge. One Traveller, who did not give his name, but spoke with an Irish accent said: "We were kicked out of Dale Farm. You probably saw it on the television. We have nowhere to go. "It is a life on the road now." His partner added: "We are here for life now." Others added that they now need a place to "call home" and somewhere for their children to "get an education". Last week, hundreds of travellers took over Team Valley Trading Estate, in Gateshead. They brought with them around 30 caravans, cars, vans and gas cylinders .


They've even bought gas cylinders with them! Whatever next...
