GYPSIES have invaded one of Britain's poshest schools and refusing to budge.
Half a dozen caravans and assorted vehicles formed an illegal camp on playing fields at Marlborough College - Kate Middleton’s former school.
Travellers told cops they plan to remain at the exclusive £30,000-a-year school until after the weekend.Resident Jacqui Broadbridge said: “We could hardly believe our eyes when this convoy of gypsy lorries, caravans and horseboxes drove through the estate.
“They must have been looking for somewhere to set up camp. We then heard they had driven straight through the gates onto the college playing fields.”
Travellers arrived last night after being evicted from an illegal site in nearby Newbury, Berks.
The group, in caravans, horseboxes and even tarmac lorries, drove through the school gates by the Memorial Hall and parked on the playing fields.
Cops are at the scene stopping new arrivals but admitted they powerless to evict them.
One said: “There is little we can do because it is private land. The college staff are aware the travellers are here and it is up to the school to take legal action to remove them.
“All we can do is stand and watch and wait and from what we have been told by a member of the college staff the travellers have said they intend to stay until Monday.”
The Duchess of Cambridge was captain of the college’s hockey team during the 1990s.
Jonathan Leigh, Master at Marlborough College, said: “We are pursuing all legal steps to remove these people as soon as possible.”

Ha ha. Bet those wealthy Brits wished they just LEFT THEM ON DALE FARM. I'm hoping the travelers visit Paul McCartney and Elton John's estates next.
I'm just saying.

Sooo, I'm confused. Are they Travelers or Rroma? in either case, I "like" this.
Well they are most likely Travelers but oppression is oppresion eh.
As stated in our introduction, we fight oppression wherever we find it.
Really, Gypsies and Travelers are the same in the mind of the oppressors so it's important we confront it where we find it.

Howdy! This artіcle couldn't be written any better! Going through this post reminds me of my previous roommate! He constantly kept talking about this. I most certainly will send this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a great read. Many thanks for sharing!
