Best thing for them? Send them off to the Great Pacific garbage patch and they live in various crap
The definition of terrorism in the UK is pretty clear.

The question in this case should be rephrased asking why they aren't being treated as such.

Are travellers a race?

Just have diesel vehicles reverse up to them and keep the throttle wide open. They'll move...

They have been for quite some time...
Or are they an ethnicity?
Although almost 81% of Russian citizens identify themselves as ethnic Russians, there are also other large ethnic groups. 3.9% of Russians are Tartars, 1.4% Ukrainians, 1.2% Bashkirs, 1.1% Chuvashs and 1.0% Chechens. 3.9% of the population did not declare any ethnic origin.

Russians are Slavs.

No, they're a race. A race is defined as a group with a shared physical or social identity. In this instance the social identity would be nationality.

Apparently they’re planning to do it all through the winter. I would be amazed if they all got through to the spring without any of them getting a bloody good hiding.
I can see their point of view and it's admirable to want to change peoples recycling\renewables culture etc but they seem to mostly be annoying people, they need a good pr\admin person. It has made me insulate my loft though, been putting it of for a couple of months

They’re not just annoying people, they’re wilfully endangering lives. There’s simply no excuse.I can see their point of view and it's admirable to want to change peoples recycling\renewables culture etc but they seem to mostly be annoying people, they need a good pr\admin person.

That would depend on how obedient said relative was to the ideology. Authoritarians are supposed to put the ideology above all else, including family, and most of them do.
The courts say that Irish Travellers are protected ‘against race discrimination’ because they’re an ethnic group under the Equality Act, that doesn’t sit right with me, but maybe I’ll petition the courts to recognise Cockneys as an ethnic group, and then the Keystone Kops can look the other way if I break the law.
Hahaha you think they have jobs?
Shame people didn't have a bunch of cable ties to attach them to the lampposts to stop them walkingback

Look at it this way.
If someone threatens my home or my life, I can take reasonable action/force to prevent it.
The earth is my home. Endless governments have simply paid lip service to climate change. Put simply they are more interested in the next election than making hard choices. Climate change is somebody else's problem.
They are threatening people's homes and lives. People have a right to take action.

Where else can they do it? If it isn't disruptive nobody listens..

Indeed, the government has forced this action by largely ignoring implementing any climate change strategies that will be effective in achieving their rhetoric.
That's the entire point though, disrupt the public until they too start pressuring the government to do something to stop the disruption. Unless you make yourself a pain in the **** nobody listens and nobody cares.
This then leaves the government a choice of 'do what the protesters want' or 'forcefully remove the protesters'.
The balance, which i'm not sure they've got right really, is to irritate the public enough that they apply pressure through discontent but not so much they'd support seeing the protesters banned or prosecuted rather than improvements to climate strategy/spending.
