Sky's Lisa Holland visits two illegal traveller encampments in Buckinghamshire and Berkshire, where tensions between travellers and local residents are escalating. She meets a family of 10 living in a small caravan after their static home was destroyed in a suspected arson attack. Their 13-year-old son describes the discrimination he says he faces because of his background. Lisa also speaks to nearby residents, who claim they've experienced intimidation and say a lack of government support has left them feeling forced to take matters into their own hands. #travellers #uk #skynews SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky
