If any group of people pitched camp on Stroud Green ( dutch tourists - scouts - bedouins ) they'd be asked to move on. I can't see what all the fuss is about.

Agree.

But the 'shock and horror' of it all for some middle Englanders seems to be that they are Travellers. Wonder if these these are the same type of people who were outraged by the influx of 'colonials' after the war?

So Adrian,

You see no problem with "travellers" whatsoever?

There are good and bad with all walks of society, after all it wasn't long ago that bankers were respected and not seen as crooks.

Perhaps out efforts should be to accept that from time to time they will arrive and be supportive by offering facilities - something that is common on the canal network where people generally move around a lot and have no geographically fixed abode.

Am sure there are some good ones, but few and far between.
