:05:24. > :05:27.but I think we should have ` national discussion if it is the
:05:28. > :05:31.right model. Is there a danger that people with disabilities cotld feel
:05:32. > :05:36.second`class because they are earmarked as people who could be

:05:42. > :05:53.I am familiar with that argtment and I am sad pathetic with it. ``
:05:54. > :06:01.sympathetic. People who are with assisted suicide would agred. There
:06:02. > :06:07.is also the fact that able`bodied people can commit suicide so why not
:06:08. > :06:13.extend that to disabled people. I be moving towards a time when ht will
:06:14. > :06:16.be possible? I think the cotrt have nudged the floodgates opened today.
:06:17. > :06:20.Police tape marked the entr`nce to one of Taunton's park and rhde sites

:07:08. > :07:12.Even the children started shouting at us.
:07:13. > :07:24.It was time to go and we were chased by three of them over private land.
:07:25. > :07:30.That was actually very frightening. We have just come back from

:07:35. > :07:38.people rushed towards us will stop he started throwing stones `t us and
:07:39. > :07:40.we had to run away. They re`lly do not want to be seen on camera at
:07:41. > :07:41.all. It's not
:07:42. > :07:43.the first time it?s happened. Two years ago,
:07:44. > :07:45.travellers kept the Gateway park So did the council attempt
:07:46. > :07:58.to keep it open this time? There has been threatening behaviour
:07:59. > :08:00.on site which is a real problem There are children, uncontrolled,
:08:01. > :08:04.running around a site where there are cars and buses. My prefdrence is
:08:05. > :08:07.that the move of the site now. The police say
:08:08. > :08:09.at this stage they are powerless to act and it'll be the council who has
:08:10. > :08:20.to bring the injunction. Following talks this afternoon, the
:08:21. > :08:22.travellers have agreed to ldave by the end of the week.

:08:47. > :08:49.You love them! Our reporter Andrew Plant is there,
:08:50. > :09:01.and the tents are going up You can see how many tents there are
:09:02. > :09:04.over my shoulder. The festival did not use to open its gates until
:09:05. > :09:09.Thursday morning at the few years ago that change to Wednesdax due to
:09:10. > :09:14.popular demand. Nowadays, pdople are queueing from Tuesday afternoon
:09:15. > :09:21.They want to get their monex's worth. They are paying ?210 this

:09:25. > :09:26.Long before the gates even opened, for hundreds, the festival had
:09:27. > :09:28.already started, Tuesday night spent standing outside.
:09:29. > :09:41.CHEERING Amazing!
:09:42. > :09:44.I have been in the car park all night
:09:45. > :09:48.It is my favourite place in the world.
:09:49. > :09:51.With few choosing to travel light these days...
:09:52. > :09:58.Pillows in here, double duvdt, sleeping bag...
:09:59. > :10:03.Wheelbarrows, toboggans and wheelie bins all employdd.
:10:04. > :10:05.Although this is very much `n international festival, manx in the

:10:38. > :10:43.They've changed the toilets this year, which is quite interesting.
:10:44. > :10:46.I thought they would get rid of the long drops!
:10:47. > :10:48.Actually, the long drops ard surprisingly popular still.
:10:49. > :10:54.Over here, though, you have something new.
:10:55. > :11:07.The idea is that you scoop tp a cup of sawdust when you go in and
:11:08. > :11:14.when you're finished, you poor this on top and it takes away thd smell.
