Also
when they bought the land, they were told 'don't build permanent houses, because you won't be allowed to keep them'. But they did, and then seemed affronted when reminded of this fact at a later date.

I find the "well half of us did it legally
but we're a community, so we should be allowed to stay together, and anyway we didn't understand the laws properly so we should be let off or something" argument to be fucking annoying. I don't understand tax law but that doesn't mean I should be let off not paying it. And if one of my mates buys a big house I shouldn't be given one next door just because we go to the fucking pub together.

The only thing I don't get
is why they are evicting them rather than just knocking down their houses.

I thought they were evicting them TO knock down their houses?
as knocking down houses with people in them is cruel even for Essex.
