There is nothing they can do if they raid the camp then they would be accused of racial predudice..
What a toothless animal the UK police is.
12 hrs previous I would have been carring my Benneli 12g super sport and the sawn of firer would be dead,This is good thIng that i wasnt as under UK law I wouldnt of had self defence as a reason and a lifetime in jail (gypsy inmates number 60+ % round here.) would await me.

I think this proves UK gun laws penalise the law abiding only!
Not really it just proves you have a crap police force.

You can't even blame politicians or the dreaded "liberals" for this as a crime had clearly taken place and the laws are in place to deal with it but the police were too ball-less to do their job.

There really are two options here:
1) You have laws and adhere to them by ensuring that the police enforce them to there full extent.

2) You let people take the law into their own hands and then you have two armed groups going at each other and a lot of people are going to suffer and not all of them will be in the wrong.

I am a huge fan of law and order so I know which option I prefer.
