"In general there are multiple groups in society abusing property rights and I think these need to be made criminal cases. The right to private property is the bedrock of our law and society. " Just playing devil's advocate on this being a sensible law applicable to all. If that comes at the cost of people's way of life that has existed for 100s of years? Should travellers fall under the same laws even if these laws threaten their ability to move freely and exist as they always have. Or is it unfair that everyone else has to deal with the consequences of this way of life? | |||

I often say on these forums that people with fundamentally different values can't share a country without one being compromised. There are plenty of sites for them, unfortunately some resent paying anything towards the maintenance of those sites and therein lies the problem. Nobody has the right to invade someone else's private property and there's no such concept as "That's my way of life", I can't punch you in the face and claim that's just my culture as a defence. | |||

"In general there are multiple groups in society abusing property rights and I think these need to be made criminal cases. The right to private property is the bedrock of our law and society. " I am reminded of the old story of sone left wing mp wandering across some Moor when he was accosted by the landowner who told him to leave as it was private land. The mp asked how he got the land. He was told he inherited it from his father. And how did your father get it, he inherited it. The question continued. Until he got to the ancestor who got it by fighting for it. "right", said the mp, "take your coat off and I'll fight you for it"... | |||

I have lived in several areas where they have turned up and chaos ensued. Vandalism, robbery, stealing cars. Refusal to pay taxes but wanting the benefits of our system. I have seen where they have built houses but they stood empty as they couldn't prove where the income was from. At the very least the government could create a central registration point where official documentation could be processed, so they could have insurance etc. | |||

"Is the Irish option to make deliberate trespass a crime the solution to the issue of traveller site? Would giving the police the power to arrest people for deliberate trespass and impound the caravans be the answer? And if so should that law be passed should we make better provisions for traveller to have safe sites with good sanitary conditions? If so how will we pay for this? Impose rents and/or better systems to collect tax? Or would the Irish option just be seen as a way to force travellers out of their traditional life and conform to living life the rest of us? And what are the greater implications to us all making deliberate trespass a crime?" Seems like a great idea to me. | |||

The niave belief that all wealth was just stolen from someone during the feudal age and isn't deserved. I'd happily fight any MP, hardly a well trained group of athletes. | |||
