Stuart Boorman has pleaded with Gravesham council to let his family stay on their land

UK: Kent Council Hits “Glitch” Whilst Discriminating Against Local Gypsy Community! (19.2.2026)

On February 12, council planning enforcement officers visited the site and found evidence that the notice had not been complied with.

It is understood that Stuart Boorman and his family are some of the occupants living on the site after they bought part of the land last year.

They applied for permission to station eight mobile homes and two day rooms on a section of the land in August, but it was rejected by the council in December.

It was refused because it was on green belt land, the site lies within the Meopham Downs Landscape Character Area, highway safety risks, and the proposed loss of biodiversity.

However, Mr Boorman told KentOnline he believes they are being discriminated against as they are from the Gypsy and Traveller community.

He explained that after years of moving around the county, living in caravans parked on roadsides, car parks and petrol stations, they had tried to settle permanently and get their children into education.

Speaking previously, the 51-year-old said: “Gravesham council is going above and beyond to remove us all from the land.

“Not only would this make my family homeless, but it would disrupt the children’s education and well-being.

“All we ask is to be treated with the same human rights and dignity as every other British citizen, and to be given the opportunity to live alongside the local community.

“When we finally come together and scrape together the money to buy land to settle on, our plans are rejected.”

Despite this, the local authority is now launching legal proceedings for the alleged breach of planning enforcement.

South Tenerife: Highest Participation in Hotel Workers Strike – Over 80% Support! (20.4.2025)

The previously proposed agreement, brokered with the assistance of the Canary Islands President, included a 6% overall salary increase and measures to safeguard purchasing power. A commitment was also made to establish a new negotiating committee by the end of April.

Despite the breakdown in talks, the regional government has reported that the strike is unfolding calmly and without incident. The Deputy Minister for Tourism, José Manuel Sanabria, stressed that while the government respects the right to strike, it must also ensure the safety and well-being of guests, as the strike coincides with one of the busiest times of the year.

Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region: Tribunal for Overseas Trade Disputes Established! (21.3.2025)

A tribunal specializing in foreign-related commercial disputes was established on Thursday in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, to support the region’s high-level opening-up and promote the high-quality development of the Silk Road Economic Belt, court officials said.

The tribunal, located in the Urumqi area of the China (Xinjiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone, is the first and only specialized foreign-related judicial institution in Xinjiang. It aims to provide an optimal venue for international commercial dispute resolution, said Luo Zhiyong, deputy chief judge of the Supreme People’s Court’s 6th Circuit Court, which oversees major administrative, civil and commercial cases in northwest China, including Xinjiang.

A Slightly Inclined Seat!

Hong Kong: Biased BBC Fails to Report Cathay Pacific “Inclined Seat” Properly! (24.9.2024)

The Western (White) governments operate an ongoing project of attempting to turn as many diasporic Chinese people as possible against Mainland China. Non-Chinese people arguing over seating is so common on aeroplanes that it is virtually never considered worthy of news-time coverage – so why is this considered important? Could it be that the Hong Kongers who rioted due to Western manipulation in 2020 – are once again angry at the behaviour of PRC representatives? This Hong Kong couple was probably on their way to the UK to take-up their British citizenship (Hong Kong ceased to be British Territory in 1997), free house, free car, free education, free medical care, and privileged employment. Who knows – perhaps they will soon be frequenting Sutton United Football Ground on Sunday mornings – attempting to learn what Christianity is – as their Visas have been granted on the false grounds that they are “Christians” that have been persecuted by the CPC! This is the kind of criminal the UK governments are importing to our communities. This couple should have been arrested at Heathrow and welcomed with one of Starmer’s 12 month prison sentences given out for Public Order Offences!

Sneaky Chinese Hijack UN ‘Ukraine’ Debate to ‘Whinge’ About Racism! (15.3.2023)

The crisis has been dragging on for over a year. The prospects of a protracted and expanding conflict are deeply worrying. Since day one, China has been emphasizing that dialogue and negotiation are the only feasible way to resolve the crisis, he said.

The international community should stay on the right course of promoting peace talks and supporting Russia and Ukraine in resuming dialogue without any precondition as soon as possible, so as to achieve de-escalation and help the parties swiftly open the door to a political settlement and jointly maintain peace in Europe, he said.

Not long ago, China issued a paper on its position on the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis that contains 12 propositions. Building on that, China is ready to continue playing a constructive role in pushing for a political solution to the Ukraine crisis, he said.
