People get angry when they trespass on peoples private land, or doss and trample-over and heavily litter places.
Leaflets were put through British peoples doors by UKIP warning Brits about Romanian and Bulgarian gypsies moving to the UK and urging people to vote for Brexit.
The British were so concerned about gypsies arriving to the UK for a better quality of life once Bulgaria and Romania joined the EU, that the UK government had to put restrictions on EU immigrants from Bulgaria and Romania to the UK, but the EU later forced the UK to drop the restrictions.... so then the Brits voted to leave the EU.
One farmer hired DJ's to blast loud music in his fields at night until gypsies left the surrounding fields.
I saw gypsy kids who were dressed in rags and were sent to beg for money on the London Underground once and British people just completely ignored the kids begging people for money (a shocking sight in the UK) and carried on reading their large financial newspapers.
They'd get out the carriage inbetween tube stops and go in the next carriage to beg people. It went on for a few weeks. I saw a gypsy woman dressed in rags breastfeeding on the ground on a busy tube platform.
Warnings were given over the tannoys and tube station speakers to the public about some gypsy beggers urging people to not give them any money and to report them to the police. The police removed them and I've not seen them sending their kids to beg since then.
I've seen police arrest gypsies who were standing on a street once and trying to sell duty-free items outside department stores.
Roma gypsies got into huge fights with Irish people in a news report and were moved elsewhere, and I read that they were being rounded-up in France too.
They were arrested in London for trashing the ground with bags of litter and food thrown around on the ground and encouraging rats, costing taxpayers for the mess to be cleaned-up. People were angry and the police got rid of them.
