His Most Excellent Majesty resolved that the only solution was to provide public property for the purpose of travellers - land that could be used as parkland when not occupied, bringing more greenery to cities as well.

Your Majesty's humble subject begs to disagree. Green fields are like that because we *don't* let people live on them. Traditional way of life or not, it's still residing and has to be on land set up for the purpose, with clean water and sanitation. A green field that's been camped on by travellers for six months is not going to be green or safe for use as parkland afterwards. Too often these people are taking over beauty spots and nature reserves, and those exist for the benefit of all, not a few people claiming a 'tradition'.

Sorry, Kingie.
