I would also give them powers to confiscate their Porsches and Mercs to pay for clearing up the ton of rubbish they invariably leave behind. Better start a count down 5.....

Certainly. In the area where I live about 100 of these lawless thugs arrived in many motor homes and caravans and occupied a local authority car park in the centre of the town. They then ran amok in local pubs stealing alcohol and causing mayhem and damage. The various licensed premises were forced to close so lost a considerable amount of business as a result. Police require powers and the necessary motivation to move them immediately. And yes, confiscation of their property to pay for the restoration of the ground they occupied should be done. There will be doubtless a few big show-downs and will require a large force of officers to start this new approach but eventually the "travellers" will do just that and move to approved areas for them.

"In Ireland all the pubs close if travellers come into town."
I shouldn't think that happens too frequently. Most of the Irish "travellers" seemed to have travelled to England.
"How do they tax and insure their vehicles (if of course they actually do) if they have no permanent address?"
They don't. Visit your local Magistrates' Court and you will find the occasional "traveller" who has turned up to face motoring charges. This is usually because they have been caught on suspicion of driving whilst disqualified (their faces being known to local plod and their vehicles sometimes "marked") and brought to court in custody. Their defence will be that they have not been disqualified. Each will have a dozen aliases and two dozen alternative dates of birth (as well, of course, being of "No Fixed Abode"). The authorities have absolutely no chance of successfully enforcing the law against them.
