In October 2011, 86 Irish Traveller families living on converted scrapyard known as Dale Farm, were forced from their homes in the UK's largest ever eviction. The families had fought in vain against popular prejudices for nine years, trying to gain permission from the local government to stay on the site that they had made their home. When the bailiffs finally came, destroying their community, homes and the lives they had built together, the Travellers were forced onto the roadsides, leaving them to search again for a new piece of land in their own, hostile, country where they might next time be allowed to stay.
