"A small caravan which was emblazoned with the words 'lady with difficulty breathing' has just gone up in flames."
Do you reckon they wrote that on the side before or after the fire started?

Ah, splendid.
Especially as I assume the residents did it themselves to make the baliffs look bad, as "setting fire to shit" is not one of the techniques usually employed in eviction 101?

According to twitter, there was a woman in there who had assisted breathing, which had been shut off when the power went.

So should, y'know, probably have gone to hospital where she would be safer?
Also - Twitter. Not a source of the fucking truth.

She doesn't pay taxes so has no right to NHS care

I know, my feed on there is so full of shit it's quite funny.
"Barron claims cops are 'defending themselves'. Someone set this man's trousers on fire, please. #DaleFarm" - Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they currently having bricks thrown at them?

"The enquiry will show police, bailiffs & council violently broke the law. But this will come too late for the homeless people of #DaleFarm" - As compared to those who chose to settle there illegally in the first place?

"Funny. Don't remember seeing riot police going in when Tesco ignored planning laws." - Tesco provide a service, travellers don't.

Etc, etc.

I had to stop reading the twitter feed.
I'm relying on The Guardian now. (it's OK, I know all the biasses that involves)

Since I had to give up on the BBC yesterday
after their idiotic inflation headline, I'm actually relying on the Daily Mash and you lot, right now. Don't let me down, boys and girls.

Given that the 'updated every minute' Guardian feed hasn't changed since 09.38 (and yes, I did hit refresh to make sure I hadn't just set it wrong)
I think you may have the best source after all.

I'm not saying that's not true
but the misinformation that is going to come out from both sides, either by design or confusion, today is going to be immense.

I know, I'm quite amused by it
As that's most likely bullshit, because I can't see a campsite having the most reliable electricity source.

Seriously, when did The Daily Mash stop being shit?

quite some time ago.

Well that's not good enough.
Once I've made a judgement that something is shit, it should at least have the decency to stay shit.

The first seriously good article I remember

and that was in 2007.....

Oh very good
I particularly liked the line "...while the police responded with the sort of joyful, improvised brutality they usually reserve for middle class students."
Good stuff.
