Make entering & occupying land without consent a criminal offence

I am sure many on here have had problems with this. There is a push to get the law changed on this sparked by more high profile cases such as travellers breaking into Thwaites brewery. Here £100,000 of damage caused while police look on claiming its a civil matter.
Had it ourselves with fields broken into and land occupied and have to take law into our own hands as police will do nothing.
If you feel its ok for someone to enter your property, occupy for weeks and leave you with a bill of thousands of pounds to clear up then ignore this. If not please please sign this and share to friends etc.
Other countries have changed the law on this, notably Ireland back in 2002. Well over due for a change here to.

Don't see what difference it will make, gypsies don't abide by any laws, none of their vehicles are taxed, insured often with a cloned number plate. They cheat and steal, they are never caught and the police seem powerless with to do anything.

We have plenty of current laws to deal with this problem they just need enforcing.

Enforcing costs money. Laws sound good and suggest action for very little cost.

Poor state of affairs.

Nobody thinks long term and sees the cost to the country.

Written an email to Daily Mail about this. They are quite good at running campaigns over this sort of thing. They did quite widespread coverage over the Thwaites incident so they may be willing to do a follow on article. Any one else wants to have a rant about this topic feel free.
This is the email I found on their website for story tip offs.
