Well, in all fairness, I can't really say it would be a problem for me unless I encounter it myself, which I haven't. My experiences with gypsys/travellers has never been that so it's difficult for me to say. I imagine though, that no, I wouldn't especially enjoy having someone living at the bottom of my garden. MY point though, is that it isn't just gyspys who behave in those ways and they shouldn't carry all the blame for those types of behaviour.

It is also fair to say that a number of them end up living on other people's land/gardens because they have nowhere else to go, there is no space anywhere for them and that isn't right either. I don't know a great deal about gypsy/traveller culture but it should be treated with the same respect as any other race or religions is. Which isn't to say you should agree with it but respecting their right to live their own way, as long as they aren't hurting anyone, is not something I would say it is beyond people's ability.
