Nigel Baker might be lucky not to have experienced travellers on his doorstep. Those have done have had their lives made intolerable.

Let's not forget, these travellers are on someone else's land without permission.

This is usually Brighton and Hove City Council's, which then caves in and allows the travellers to stay.

On these illegal sites there are no facilities, so causing a health hazard to the surrounding community.
