Equal Under The Law

It is highly debateable whether or not this country's Gypsies and Travellers are ethnic groups comparable to the Roma and others elsewhere.

It is even more so whether or not many of those throwing up shanty towns in our countryside are Gypsies or Travellers at all.

But it is not debateable that, whoever and whatever they are, they must be subject to the same planning laws as the rest of us.

Why didn't the last lot do this? Whatever happened to equality, not least regardless of ethnicity or class background?

Ed Miliband, over to you.
