Make entering and occupying land without consent a criminal offence.
 If you own or rent land, or even just want to support your local farmers, parish councils etc please sign this. Its not just about the people and animals, but also the rubbish they leave behind that the landowner has to clear up, and pay for its disposal.
 At the moment its classed as a civil matter and the landowner has to do the removing  :poo:

There are already laws to cover this but the police won't act.
Simple trespass is a civil offence. But aggravated trespass is a criminal offence. So if someone enters someone else's land and causes any damage whatsoever, even for example scratching a gatepost, or prevents the owner of the land doing something on his land that he is entitled to do,  then the police can act. But they won't because they don't want to get involved, haven't got the manpower, couldn't give a stuff or some other excuse.


So making any more laws in connection with this will have exactly the same result, ie the police conveniently looking the other way. The only circumstances under which you would be likely to get any meaningful action is if some undesireables actually camped on some land belonging to the chief constable. Then you would see just how effective our existing laws actually are.
