Gypsy Evictions

Very happy about this one. A gypsy/traveller/whatever family has lost their case with the Law Lords. They had argued that their human rights were broken after being evicted from a 'recreational field' (ie, some form of park or similar public space) owned by Leeds City Council.
 
I'm not suggesting that these people shouldn't have somewhere to live, but this kind of thing really is shocking. What makes them think that they have right to move onto a public space, ruining it for local taxpayers? It's trespass, pure and simple.
