The settlement, referred by the authors as being illegal, was \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsubject to disputes between Rroma and local residents who formed a local \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmovement against the settlement and have been active in court for the last three \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tyears. The competent court issued a ruling in favour of the residents and to \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe misfortune of the local Rroma. According to the article they had legally \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpurchased the land for \u00a3 100,000 from a businessman. Why the settlement is \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treferred to by the journalists as illegal remains unclear. It is, however, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\texplained that the planning applications submitted were rejected for fixed \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcaravans. The residents organized blockades to make it impossible for the Rroma \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tto enter the settlement or at least to hinder them. Many of the now displaced \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRroma had to resign from their employment because they have nowhere to live. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSome of them set a caravan on fire as a protest before leaving the place. In \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe appendix of the article there is a series of comments about the outcome of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe process, a large majority of which can be considered to be racist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The head of the family &#8211; \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNoah Burton &#8211; will try to sell the land again (BBC 2013).
