News & Activities
April 2007 -Hampshire Hero’s The Johnson family won the case that was taken against them by Barry Jordan Davis the Gypsy Liaison Officer for Hampshire County Council. In 2006 Jordan Davis falsely claimed he was threatened by the Johnson family, but in Alton Magistrates Court the allegations where found not to be true (April 2007). This proves that intimidation by Gypsy Liaison Officers doesn’t have to be tolerated if the community sticks together and fights back. Well done, Johnson Family !
