drove past a gypsy camp or travellers camp and they have brand new caravans, a couple of real nice pick up trucks and buses, how do they afford them and how do they tax them when they have no address???

Sorry - what was that you said about TAXING them ???????????
Are you on the same planet..... but seriously, when people mention the dreaded word "travellers" it nearly always means a load of out of work scroungers and robbers who will do anything and everything to get all they can, legally or otherwise, and when they've milked that bit dry, they move on to some other scam or move to another site, always leaving the vacated one in such a disgusting state that it is rendered useless until such time as a great deal of cash has been expended on clearing their rubbish.
As you say, they always seem to have new vans and lorries, always keep animals - usually fierce dogs of course - and loads of scruffy children who lack education, and it does make most people wonder just where all these riches come from except by illegal means.
Wherever they are or go they are hated, and usually are the cause of all local problems. We just have one small consolation in the fact that the lot over in East London who had the cheek to take the Olympics people to court because their illegal site is needed for proper use by tax-paying people have come unstuck for once and have got to go, although they'll no doubt keep on getting extensions or refuse to leave right up until the 'dozers move in. Just for once I can't see them walking rough-shod over everybody this time!

A very common way for travellers to obtain luxury vehicles goes like this -
Walk into dealership.
Show driving licence, with false details.
Show utility bill with false details, matching licence (yup, it can be done...).
Ask to buy luxury car on H.P.
Put down deposit on luxury car.
Drive off with car.
Fit false number plates
Move on to the next town...
I've seen this actually happen. A group of travellers had been camped on waste ground next to an industrial estate where I worked. After about 8 or 9 days, one of them turned up in a brand new BMW 7 Series. They moved on a few days later.
About 6 weeks after that, the police were trying to trace someone who had 'bought' a BMW from a local dealer (it seems that the sales assistant had, belatedly, become suspicious). They never got the car back...

London is a great place to spend the holyday in family, especially with children because in London are lots of kid-friendly areas to see and this Hotelbye is the place to begin knowing. In London you can get in close proximity and particular with underwater creatures at SEALIFE London Aquarium or investigate the Science Museum, London's involved hub of technology and technology and equally are perfect for fun household holyday within London. London also offers for visiting the Tate Contemporary, Britain's national memorial of modern and modern art. And, maybe not your investment SEALIFE London Aquarium; your home of 500 species of aquatic living, from sharks and piranhas to Nemo-style clownfish. London is certainly an original city.

They're all on the Social getting hand outs and Tarmac Drives & Install PVC Soffits & Fascia's on the side for CASH. Then when they move on leave all their FILTH behind for the Local Authoraties to clean up at OUR expense.

Caravan theft isn't uncommon as it's difficult to prove the ownership of one. Paying no tax and having council's bend over backwards to accommodate your needs helps as well. And not paying for disposal of "business" waste either.

You are making a lot of assumptions. How do you know whether the gypsies or travellers are working or not.

The reality is that some claim benefits - do odd jobs for cash - Steal (I had 1000 mtrs of armour cable stole from my garden centre by travellers) - syphon petrol etc etc.

They live on hand outs from the British Government.
Milk everything they can from the system.
The decent law abiding tax payer keeps them in luxury.
What a world!
