    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on proposals of Government of Great Britain to tackle unauthorized Traveller camps and to give the police new powers to arrest and seize the property and vehicles of trespassers who set up unauthorized encampments, which follows a long line of legislation aimed primarily at Travellers and Romanies. According to the article, Romanies have always performed a variety of services, from horse dealing and basket-making to tarmacking and recycling.
