people who rarely find a welcome. They call us stinking pikeys. | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
Stinking gypsies. If we had anywhere else to go we would not be here. | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
Across Wales they need more sites but where will they go? They say we | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
do not want the huggers here. has life changed for the travellers | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
we met 21 years ago? A new law might mean councils being prosecuted if | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
they do not build new sites but what about the neighbours? It is the mess | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
that is left behind and the thieving that goes on. Not all travellers are | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
:00:57. | :01:15. | ||
This is home for the McDonnagh family. A roadside on a business | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
park in Swansea. They have no toilets, water or electricity. We do | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
not want to be here. This is what we call home. They have been camped | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
here for 18 months and three Bernard's five children go to local | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
schools. The kids come back from school, if they need to use the | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
toilet they go to Burger King or KFC. Showers, they go to VLC in | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
Swansea. You can see here we keep the place as tidy as we can. With | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
five kids coming in here, every evening it has to be swept up and | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
kept tidy. We take these bags to the tip every evening. But neighbouring | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
businesses have had enough and they want the council to evict them. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
are told they are not going to be here long but we have been told that | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
before. We invite numerous high profile clients to our flagship head | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
office premises. The first thing they see and notice is that we are | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
flanked by some gypsy caravans. The family has been using the company's | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
water supply and Dawnus have caught other unwanted guests on camera. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
have had horses tethered here, both on this particular patch and more | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
recently around the back here. No horses here today but tomorrow there | :02:43. | :02:52. | |
may well be. The family say the horses belong to other travellers. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
We respect their culture but at the same time, they need to be living | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
somewhere else. If this family is moved on, they say they will have to | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
park summer rails illegally in Swansea. That is because the council | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
does not have an official site for them to go to. But it is spending | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
money trying to evict them and others from around the city. Across | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Wales there is a demand for hundreds of new pitches and the row about | :03:18. | :03:28. | |
where to put them is getting louder. By law, councils are expected to try | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
to provide gypsy and traveller sites where there is a need. Gorseinon is | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
a town which has been earmarked by Swansea Council for one of five new | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
possible sites. Malcolm Curtice is a town councillor. Until last month he | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
was the local mayor. I ask people what they think and they say, we do | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
not want the huggers here. That is it. There is no more to be said. | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
They do not want them here. Malcolm does not speak for everyone in the | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
town but he tells me why some people do not want gypsies and travellers | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
here. The site is well used for the local public. | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
The show people come here three or four times a year. It is a beautiful | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
area. Malcolm says people have not forgotten the travellers who parked | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
illegally here 20 years ago. The thefts in the shops in the high | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
Street and the mess left after them. I'm not saying the new travellers | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
coming here it is them, I cannot say that because it is going back 20 odd | :04:40. | :04:49. | |
years. You do not want them here? The public do not want them here. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
We asked some of the locals what they think. As travellers, they | :04:55. | :05:05. | |
:05:05. | :05:06. | ||
should be travelling. We are on the rise. We have Asda coming to | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Gorseinon. We are trying to make it look nicer and we are really worried | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
about something which will be an eyesore. But the council thinks some | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
of this park land which will set aside for a cemetery might be the | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
place. Once people know it is a gypsy site or a traveller site as | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
they call it, which is close by, I think it will affect the price of | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
houses. If I was buying I would think twice. I am all for giving | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
people a chance and then see what happens. Love your neighbour and who | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
is my neighbour? They have got rituals. They do a lot of fighting | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
and they do have the attitude that you are not allowed near their land. | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
Malcolm has never visited the city's only official site so we | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
asked him if he would like the opportunity. What do you think you | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
know about them and their life? Well, I do not know much, to be | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
honest. They come over from Ireland. They are mostly Irish tinkerers. 90% | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
of them have got houses in Ireland. They come back, Labour, paving slabs | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
and that is it, that is the way they work and people are getting fed up | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
with it. If they want a permanent site, have a permanent house, that | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
is my argument. Is the law wrong? The law is an ass has been often | :06:41. | :06:51. | |
said. The law says they are entitled to have their own pitch and sites. | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
If they want a permanent site, have a permanent house. | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
This is Swansea Council's only official Gypsy and Traveller site. | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
With seven pictures it is home to the Gilheaney family. They like it | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
but they say it is not big enough. They're all my brothers and sisters | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
living here. It is fantastic but the city does need a new site. We have | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
everything we need but we could do with a bit more space. In here now | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
you have got the conservatory at the front. That is your kitchen, sitting | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
area where you eat. Then you have a shower, bathroom, toilet facilities. | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
Jimmy and his wife have eight children. We have no intention of | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
leaving the site. We are happy where we are. But when the children grow | :07:46. | :07:54. | |
up they might need more space. and living as a scrap collector. He | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
is worried about the row about where to put the new site is fuelling | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
anti-Gypsy and Traveller sentiment. You can be driving through the | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
street and you will salute someone and they will go like that, to pose. | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
That is how it is every day around Swansea. They paint everyone with | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
the same brush. They say we do not pay taxes, we get things for | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
nothing. We pay our way. Obviously, a small minority probably do not pay | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
their way but so do the settled community. I imagine that they think | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
a gypsy's home would be very filthy and dirty and smelly and as you can | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
see, it is not the case. We use this as a kitchen. We use the camper home | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
as a bedroom. I have got kids living there and kids next door in another | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
caravan. We had that the caravans in one plot. Families who stay here pay | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
rent and council tax but Jimmy is worried that wherever the new site | :08:57. | :09:04. | |
is built there could be a backlash. There were picketing boards. | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
there was a black person and they were protesting, what would be said | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
then? Is it because they are gypsies it is okayed to do that? | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
The two sides have agreed to meet. am prepared to listen to him. I will | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
try and enlighten him and educate him. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
For 20 years, Welsh councils have been obliged to try and provide | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
sites but some have none at all. Today, pictures are needed for 1200 | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
caravans in Wales. For dozens of gypsies in Newport, there has never | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
been an official site. They all live rent free on unauthorised pictures | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
but that is about to change. Thank you, Lord, thank you for everyone | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
here. We know you can do miracles. This gypsy family is praying for a | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
better future. They have been illegally camped for more than a | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
year. The Price family may have been welcomed by a local church but | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
others in the city are not as keen. About two days ago they came to the | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
gate and said, you stinking gypsies. Get back to where you come from and | :10:26. | :10:35. | |
all that. If we had anywhere else to go, we would not be here. This might | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
be their next home. There are plans to site 120 caravans here. The | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
gypsies like the idea but it has not gone down well in the community. | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
Everyone you talk to, they want to stop it. If you are living in a posh | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
part they are concerned it will make the area look a bit low. I don't see | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
why everybody cannot get along. They have got to settle somewhere. I'm | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
not saying they are all that add but I suppose they get tarred with the | :11:07. | :11:16. | |
same brush. -- all that bad. They live under pylons but there is | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
no mains electricity. They paid �25 a week for a toilet and there is one | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
tap for 35 adults and children. do not have a shower, we have a wash | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
in a bowl. It is quite hard. What we need on this site is toilets for | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
each home. We need proper water. We could do with electric. We do not | :11:38. | :11:48. | |
mind paying for it. And just somewhere really settled. | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
Chantelle lives here with her three children her parents and a large | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
extended family. They are being tolerated here and tell the council | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
builds a new site. Chantelle's brother says rats are another | :12:02. | :12:10. | |
problem. All the holes you see along the bottom of that fence, that is | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
the rat runs. You see the backs of these, there are holes in the back | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
of the fence is to put the gas pipes through. You have got to block them | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
to stop them getting in. That is how bad the rat far. Chantelle thinks | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
these conditions are making her children ill. She has had diarrhoea | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
and sickness. Most of the times they are burning up and come out with a | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
rash but we do not know where it comes from. We take them to the | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
doctors and they say it is a viral infection, everything. Life would be | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
easier and house but Chantelle is a gypsy and she wants the right to | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
follow her tradition and live the caravan life. There is my kitchen | :12:53. | :13:03. | |
:13:03. | :13:04. | ||
there, my diner. I have been in a house before. I am a gypsy and I am | :13:04. | :13:12. | |
used to being a gypsy. When I get decorating, I want to go. | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
The new site is planned opposite the Pile family's home. They moved in | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
six months ago. The main reason we moved to this house is the ruble | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
location. It is that slickly beautiful, very peaceful, very | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
quiet. Safe for the children. There is no traffic on the lane. It is | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
perfect really. Carly Pile say they have invested everything in their | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
home and now they are worried they might have made a big mistake. | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
house is situated here and I have just walked five yards across. | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
behind this hedgerow is where the site is proposed to be. As you can | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
see, it is Ray close to my house. From my bedroom window I will be | :13:56. | :14:04. | |
looking onto the site. Protesters want the council to sell the land. | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
The council thinks this is the best place to say to travellers. Gypsy | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
rights worker Tom Hendrie is visiting Chantelle. He is a gypsy he | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
grew up in Newport. This is the pressure. You cannot host down the | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
trailers or nothing. He knows only too well how much gypsies need an | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
official site. You have to propose something because it makes you sound | :14:37. | :14:46. | |
better. These people have nowhere to live. The row over where to put | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
sites has been raging the decades. 21 years ago, I filmed on Swansea is | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
sprawling unofficial site. More than 100 people are living in appalling | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
squalor, families with small children make the best of filthy | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
conditions because this is their last refuge. Back then, I met | :15:05. | :15:13. | |
another family. The Joyces. Mounds of rubbish have piled up high in the | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
caravan belonging to Kathleen. She only leaves the caravan at day. | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
At night, she is trapped by rats. A friend of mine was here and she had | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
little girl and one got into the caravan and got the child on the | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
leg. The child was in hospital. They were regularly evicted. Years | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
earlier, her daughter-in-law told the BBC how she had struggled to | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
find a school I was prepared to teach her children. I went to the | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
first school and asked if they would take the kids. She thought it was | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
somebody out of the houses so when she heard I was from down here she | :15:52. | :16:02. | |
refused. This is Christine now. We found her living a few miles from | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
the old site, she still doesn't have an official pitch in the city. | :16:07. | :16:15. | |
Hello. How are you? It's been a long time. | :16:15. | :16:25. | |
:16:25. | :16:25. | ||
Can I come in? Please come in. Well, here we are again. 21 years later. | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
We are still here. You are still here. How have things been for you? | :16:30. | :16:40. | |
Awful. Moving around week after week, month after month. Do you get | :16:40. | :16:49. | |
depressed? Sometimes. I am on anti-depression tablets. Do you know | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
what the cause is? The hassle I have had to life, nowhere to properly | :16:55. | :17:05. | |
:17:05. | :17:07. | ||
stay, no amenities and I would like my family to have them. Christine's | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
children and grandchildren live here too. Swansea Council owns the land | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
and it has tried to evict them. But in court, Christine won the right to | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
stay here until a new official site is built. This is the taps, no water | :17:21. | :17:30. | |
coming out. Hot or cold. Nothing. Everything has to be carried by | :17:30. | :17:39. | |
hand. Yes. This is the water supply. For 12 caravans, all of your | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
washing needs. It comes from here. All from there. The council paid | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
�45,000 to have two shoulder -- toilets and showers installed after | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
the children's Commissioner intervened but it's still a | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
struggle. We find it difficult, so many kids and adults using two | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
showers and toilets is awful. to is not on. The life of | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
uncertainty for travellers and gypsies in Swansea and across Wales | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
might be about to change. The Welsh government will introduce | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
legislation which if past will mean councils are prosecuted if they | :18:17. | :18:27. | |
:18:27. | :18:29. | ||
don't provide more official site in further tension in communities | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
already unhappy with plans for new sites. Hillary and Tom Jenkins don't | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
want one at the bottom of their garden. They are helping to lead the | :18:39. | :18:46. | |
fight. If the council wants to put half �1 million houses there, Tom | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
and I would object as well. They've organised protests against the new | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
site. Currently the official, tolerated and illegal sites are all | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
in the area. I am not racist. I have no objection to the council | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
providing a site but if you said put all the black people to live in one | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
area of Swansea, the council would be up in arms, council officers | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
would be up in arms, the police would be and the commission for | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
racial equality would be up in arms and anyone who had a fair-minded | :19:21. | :19:29. | |
view of society would be up in arms. While the rows with the council | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
continue, Christine has to manage. She would happily stay here if the | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
council installed amenities but it won't because it says it is | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
unsuitable. We were willing to pay rent but the council said we were | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
not permanent residence. I was willing to pay rent. You don't pay | :19:47. | :19:55. | |
council tax. No, we don't. We are willing to pay it. If the site was | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
permanent. They know we are willing to do it. For the family living on a | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
roadside, there's more at people ahead. Bernard is worried about the | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
children's education if they leave the area. Kids going to school, | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
water and electric, that's all we want. I would like them to read and | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
write. I missed out on it. I never followed it up. They've been warned | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
they will be evicted by September if they don't move on. Where would you | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
go? Somewhere in the area again. whole process starts again. | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
court orders and they move us here and it's what I've been used to. | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
cost the public every time gypsies and travellers are evicted but | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
without enough sites, the bill gets longer and the problem goes on and | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
on. In Gorseinon, Malcolm says that the local politicians like him, | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
there were no votes in gypsies and travellers. I know councillors have | :21:02. | :21:10. | |
been told if they can hear you have had it. It is still true today.At | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
the official site, Jimmy is anticipating his meeting with | :21:13. | :21:23. | |
:21:23. | :21:25. | ||
Malcolm. He will expect us to be rough and rowdy. Get him tied up, it | :21:25. | :21:34. | |
might frighten him. This is who you have come to meet. This is Jimmy. | :21:34. | :21:44. | |
:21:44. | :21:50. | ||
All right. Pleased to meet you.I am Tim. Let's have a chat. What would | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
July to know? How can you say you are travelling when you have a | :21:54. | :22:02. | |
permanent site? What can I say? We are travellers, we were travellers | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
but we have settled down. Would you like a permanent house? Would you | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
let live a caravan? No, it's too cold in the winter. A house feels | :22:16. | :22:24. | |
like a prison to me. Are you Irish? I am Welsh by birth. I used a box | :22:24. | :22:31. | |
for Wales. I was like heavyweight champion in 1999. People will not | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
accept you because you are travellers and living caravans. | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
met someone this morning, they called me a gypsy. There is a | :22:39. | :22:49. | |
difference between a gypsy and an Irish tinkerer. A gypsy moves about. | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
And Irish tinkerer is racist, that is like calling a black person the | :22:54. | :23:02. | |
n-word. You have been racist to me. Do not take offence. We cannot keep | :23:02. | :23:10. | |
on like this. Next, a quick tour of the site. You have a better Way | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
ground than the children in Gorseinon. The council is good to | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
us. How do you make a living?Scrap. Anything I get, I work hard for it. | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
That is the way any young man should be. If you get up and work you | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
should be working. Not into the asphalt? A lot of people have been | :23:33. | :23:41. | |
coming in, Irish, laying ass out, quick and away. Many may not be | :23:41. | :23:51. | |
:23:51. | :23:52. | ||
travellers. They are Irish. They are putting on the accent. Is there | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
anything the community can do to change perceptions? It will not | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
happen in my lifetime. Travellers I looked at and despised in society. | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
It will not happen any time soon. Try to mix with the community. | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
do, travellers try to mix but we keep getting pushed out. It is | :24:13. | :24:23. | |
:24:23. | :24:25. | ||
they,. People say we are thieving bustards. What you object to? | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
Caravan life and the mess that is left behind and the thieving. | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
is painting everyone with the same brush. Not all travellers alike | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
that. I appreciate that. But when one does it, it is a stigma that | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
goes right three. Jimmy except some travellers can be prejudiced. | :24:45. | :24:53. | |
both sides. It is travellers as well, that is your way of living, | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
this is our way of living, as no -- as long as no one is breaking the | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
law. This is a sensitive issue. one from the council would be | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
interviewed. They are currently assessing thousands of objections to | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
the plans. The council says a site will be built but as yet no one | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
knows where or when. Back in Newport, and today after looking at | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
hundreds of possible locations, councillors are about to make a | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
tough decision. They know they won't please everyone. Tom Hendry and bass | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
are representing the gypsies, Carly and local protesters are the other | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
side. If the land is allocated as planned, there is no financial | :25:36. | :25:46. | |
gain. Housing is having some safe for children to grow and flat -- | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
grow and play. It's a basic human right. It would not serve human | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
rights to make money. The council would not be interviewed about the | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
plans. There was a heated debate inside the chamber but we weren't | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
allowed to film it. Eventually they decided Ringland is the right place | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
but Carly and the protesters are not giving up. Our plan now for the | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
local residents is getting together and proceeding with legal action | :26:16. | :26:23. | |
against the council. The plan will still have to be approved by Welsh | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
government. It could be months before the prices and the city's | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
other gypsy families know where they will end up. We want our own site, a | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
home to say is our own and where we can stay all the time and safe for | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
the kids. The Welsh government has offered councils grants to pay for | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
new sites that much of the money still hasn't been used. Assembly | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
member Julie Morgan shares the cross-party committee gypsies and | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
travellers and says a new law will force councils to deal with the | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
issue. We have to grasp the nettle and find places for people to live, | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
they have human rights. But if councils do not do it, what | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
sanctions will be applied against them? I cannot tell you. I do not | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
know. Should sanctions be applied? Ultimately, every effort will have | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
to be made to ensure they do it. Housing Bill which could change | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
everything for the families we have met, could become law next year. | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
now, Christine is determined to live her way. I was raised like this as a | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
child. And my family before me, I will not leave it off. If I have to | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
live like this without water and electric, I will fight for it. But | :27:38. | :27:45. | |
Bernard and his family will be on the move again soon. And Malcolm's | :27:45. | :27:52. | |
visit has given him cause for thought. Cheers, boy. You're no | :27:52. | :28:00. | |
different my boy. Just better looking! Do you think the impression | :28:00. | :28:06. | |
you had and the one you gave earlier might be a little bit prejudiced? | :28:06. | :28:13. | |
Could be. He is a Welsh boy with a broad Irish accent. That is what you | :28:13. | :28:19. | |
found out. If I met him in Swansea I would not know the difference. I | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
cannot understand why he cannot live in a house with a family he has got. | :28:23. | :28:31. | |
Do you regret anything you have said? No, not all of it. Some of it. | :28:31. | :28:39. | |
Just a bit. He seems quite a nice bloke. It could take a long time | :28:39. | :28:44. | |
before we know if building a new site will build bridges between | :28:44. | :28:50. | |
communities. Jimmy is keeping an open mind. I hope it has a different | :28:50. | :28:53. |
