Could You Make This Up ?

From This Is London

A group of travellers has been given £600,000 by a London council to move on.

The authority handed out £30,000 of taxpayers' money per family to the "nightmare" neighbours.

But the payments have been condemned as bribes by residents of Wood Green who suffered years of intimidation and thefts.

(It doesn't improve my mood that I've just come back from this, either).
