The papers seem fascinated by the invasion of Romanies close to Tessa Jowell's residence.
The Sun broke the story yesterday under the headline gipsy hell for Tessa
A GROUP of 64 gipsies has set up camp just yards from the country home of government minister Tessa Jowell.
About 30 caravans swarmed on to the 2½-acre field, along with three diggers and a fleet of lorries and vans. They quickly laid on water and electricity.
The travellers secretly bought the Warwickshire site a year ago, but moved in over Easter knowing council enforcement officers would be on holiday.
The crafty gipsies moved in after plotting their “invasion” for FIVE MONTHS
This morning the same paper tells us that
GIPSIES were digging in yesterday just yards from government minister Tessa Jowell’s £1million house – and said: “It’s our home now.”
The 64 travellers ignored protests from horrified local residents and began putting up fences round the 2½acre field.
Burly men wearing high-visibility jackets could be seen digging drainage ditches, connecting water supplies, laying electric cables and installing a sanitation system
The Mail senses a conspiracy
Although the gipsies claimed yesterday to be unaware she has a home so near until after they moved in, there is an undoubted irony in their choice of location. For Miss Jowell was involved in the controversial eviction of gipsies from Newham and Hackney, East London, to prepare for the 2012 Olympics
And it is not just the fields of Warwickshie that have a problem,back to the Sun
SINGER Gary Barlow and pop producer Pete Waterman were reeling last night after gipsies set up a camp with military efficiency.
A convoy of diggers, tipper trucks and lorries poured into a field near Pete’s home – and close to Take That star Gary’s parents.
The travellers swiftly linked themselves up to the mains water supply, while the trucks delivered 40 loads of builders’ rubble to provide a solid hard-core standing for four caravans and a luxury motor home in leafy Barnton, Cheshire.
