Moment furious French farmers use tractors to spray hordes of squatters with manure in drastic bid to get them off land
THIS is the moment raging French farmers spray hordes of squatters with manure in a bid to expel them from their land. Furious workers spread the faeces over their farm in Hautes-Vosges, France after reportedly "not receiving" any help from police to remove an "illegal gypsy camp". 5 French farmers sprayed manure to get a group of squatters off their land Credit: You Tube 5 The enraged workers said they decided to take matters into their own hands when police refused to help 5 Members of the community are pictured rushing to stop the tractors Footage shows the tractors circling the stationary white caravans and releasing streams of the brown sludge liquid. Meanwhile, members of the community appear running after the vehicles in a bid to stop the onslaught of excrement. One man is even captured jumping onto a moving tractor and frantically knocking on the driver's window. In the minute-long video, some six tractors are seen covering the land in the stinking slurry - a mixture of manure and water.

Shocking footage shows angry Jack Bellamy spot the tent and say: 'I tell you what, these ***** will set up anywhere.' He then jumps in his tractor and drives up alongside the trespasser unleashing a 15-second blast of slurry. The camper, dressed in a red top and a white sun hat, is seen desperately trying to zip up his tent before diving behind it as a wall of excrement is showered on him. Jack, 29, is heard saying: 'I'll tell you what chap, have a bit of this.' The hapless cyclist is seen cowering for shelter as his entire tent and bike are covered in the brown stuff. Furious farmer caught a camper sleeping in his field and covered him in slurry Jack, a third generation farmer from Tavistock, Devon, last night told The Sun: 'I left him there covered in slurry. 'He never said a word. 'He couldn't really argue with that. 'They come up from the towns and think they can do what they want.' The beef and sheep farmer said he was annoyed because he's had trouble from trespassers before and there are two campsites just half a mile away from his field. He added: 'He just didn't want to pay.' Jack said he spotted the camper as he started work in his John Deere tractor at 6am on Tuesday. He said: 'I went out in the morning because I had to get on. 'When I looked in the field I saw a tent on the freshly cut grass. 'There was someone camped right up against the hedge. 'I'm sure he had a nice evening there, but he didn't have a very nice wake up call. 'He must've heard the tractor coming because he was out of his tent." 5 The stinking slurry was scattered across acres of farmland

BBC launches investigation into 'cocaine use' by Strictly Come Dancing stars
The BBC has reportedly hired a leading law firm to investigate claims of cocaine use among two stars of Strictly Come Dancing, with rumours suggesting that their drug use was widely known on the programme. Former participants, professional dancers, and crew members are being invited to share any concerns with solicitors from Pinsent Masons, according to recent reports. The beloved BBC dance show, which has found itself at the centre of a number of scandals in recent years, finds itself at the centre of a fresh furore following allegations of drug use levelled at the corporation in March by Russells Solicitors on behalf of a celebrity participant. It's understood that further accusations regarding substance misuse on Strictly have been levelled at the BBC, reports the Mirror. BBC director-general Tim Davie. (Image: PA) In a statement released to the Mirror, a spokesperson for the BBC said: "We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns. It would not be appropriate for us to comment further." According to The Sun, one of the claims involves a Strictly celeb who purportedly made a quip about another person's wide-eyed appearance, insinuating drug use, with the remark: "Have you seen their pupils . . . they're off their face". Moreover, The Sun has disclosed that a celeb has alleged it's well-known amongst the show's insiders that two stars indulged in cocaine use, sparking widespread gossip within the cast. An insider remarked: "These claims are extremely serious and should be taken as such. Given only last year that the BBC's Director-General promised to clean up Strictly, it seems particularly shocking. The idea of the show's stars discussing drug-taking is deeply disturbing. The BBC have known about these allegations for some time, and acknowledged receiving them." It's understood that the taxpayer-supported broadcaster is "taking firm action".
