Talk about living up to all the stereotypes of a thieving traveller.....A traveller has been jailed for helping to con a vulnerable pensioner out of £185,000 for repaving a path which should have cost no more than £10,000.The woman, an 89-year-old retired hospital matron, was bled dry of her life savings over six months after being persuaded to have the front of her house resurfaced then paved.
Police have spent more than three years trying to trace the gang of travellers responsible for what was branded 'Britain's most expensive driveway'.
Now Kevin Laney, 48, is beginning a three-year jail sentence for his role in cheating the pensioner. He is the fifth person convicted over the scam....
Now 92, the victim has been given back all her money plus interest - a total of £192,000. Laney admitted a charge of laundering money. A charge of conspiracy to defraud was left on file.
Jailing him at Manchester Crown Court, Judge Andrew Blake told him he had used the pensioner in the 'most disgraceful and meanspirited way'.
Four people have already appeared in court charged with money laundering and have received either suspended sentences or a supervision order.
Another traveller, Irishman Patrick McDonagh, 35, remains wanted for questioning.
I bet he is living on of the many tax payer funded pikey caravan sites. One to remind the holier than thou champagne swilling socialists, should they claim that saying pikey scum are no different than anyone else.
Talking of which:Pikeys would stab you as soon as look at you.... A Tory councillor could be charged with committing race crimes after he claimed gypsies would 'stick a knife in you as soon as look at you'.
Robert Fraser also appeared to say that Romany gypsies made Irish travellers 'look like complete amateurs' when it came to fighting.
The 59-year-old made the controversial remarks at a public meeting to discuss proposals to build a traveller site near a village in his constituency.
Don't object to thieving pikeys living near you as its naughty......The homeowners, who were among 3,500 respondents to mid-Bedfordshire district council's Gypsy and Traveller Consultation, received letters rejecting their contributions on the grounds that their comments were racist.
Lucy Clarke, a retired company secretary from Stotfold, a planned site for one of the camps, said she was shocked to receive the letter.
Mrs Clarke, said: "As far as I am aware I objected to the camp for entirely reasonable grounds. And yet I then get this letter from the council.Pikey scum attack Basil Brush for portraying them as thieves....The children’s television character Basil Brush is at the centre of a police investigation after an allegation that an episode of the programme was racist towards gipsies. A complaint was made after an episode of the long-running BBC show aired in February this year, which featured a gipsy character selling pegs and lucky heather and a joke about a fortune teller stealing Basil’s wallet. Gipsies have reported the show to Northamptonshire Police alleging that the storyline is racist towards their community and way of life.
And some pikey cartoons to annoy the CRE....Chef Marco rebuked over 'pikey' remark.
Marco has been condemned by the racial equality watchdog after he used the word "pikey" on his ITV show.Don't call thieving pikey scum itinerant travellers....As part of his election campaign to win a council seat, Carl Lewis started a petition to evict travellers from an illegal caravan park.
The Commission for Racial Equality called on the chef to apologise after he was heard telling celebrity contestants on Hell's Kitchen: "I don't think it was a pikey's picnic tonight."
He spent hours circulating leaflets that highlighted the problem of the 'itinerant travellers' and his concerns struck a chord with residents.
But those two rather ordinary, functional words have brought the wrath of the Commission for Racial Equality down on his head.
Last night the CRE announced it was launching legal proceedings against Mr Lewis because it believes his campaign material is racially discriminating.
Well over to the CRE and the pikey hugging support groups to retort, bleat and wail about nasty but oh so fucking true stereotypes...

It's about bloody time Basil Brush was nicked and left to languish in jail. "Boom boom"? He's obviously been a terrorista for years.
Knowing pikeys they would most likely try to cook Basil.
