If they existed without spiking local crime rates I woudln't have a problem with them at all.
Despite what you clearly seem to believe, I'm pretty liberal about how people choose to live their lives. My problem is that people shouldn't be able to trample on other peoples' rights in the doing of it.

But by your argument you are demonstrating that you aren't in fact being that liberal

I guess I'm not being terribly liberal about people committing crimes, no.

Stop falling back on that
nobody is arguing that criminals shouldn't be prosecuted, but you are actually arguing that this cultural group are inherently criminal and you apparently can't see how racist a viewpoint that is.

Ownership of land, mostly.
Or of property.

Then, I agree, Boyce's rights are being infringed

Hyde Park Owner's Corporation.
I'll have a dig through and find their rules on camping, should I?

please do.
I'm sure they're undergoing a huge number of sleepless nights over this and are grateful for your deep concern about their "rights"

Well if they're not bothered about it, then there's no problem, is there?

( Kroney, Wed 7 Aug 2013, 13:09, Reply)

I suspect they are a million times less bothered about it than the Metro or the Mail
or apparently a fair number of people here.

The right of "really quite liberal" people
to get on their soapboxes about the dirty forrin criminals whilst still retaining their liberal badge.
