Perhaps IKEA should have installed physical barriers preventing actual caravans from entering the car park, instead of relying on a security guard (who may be prone to PR gaffes)?
It's definitely worthwhile trying to keep travellers out, as once they're in they're very familiar with the law and can be relatively litigious.

It sounds as if the security guard wasnt quite as PC about it as prehaps he should have been, although I think most people here would agree that gypsies are massive pain and should not be allowed to set up camp wherever they feel like.
Seems like a bit of a pointless debate really, It had nothing to do with race they just dont want people coming and camping in the car park. Maybe a height barrier would be a better choice?

I'm a bleeding heart lefty, but if I was in charge of Ikea
Firstly I'd change the lay-out of the showrooms so people can actualy walk in, choose what they want and walk out without being made to feel like a rat in a trap.
But secondly if I was faced with the issue of travellers setting up camp in my carparks, I'd refuse them entry in the first place. It's not a race issue, it's a lifestyle choice. If I decided paying rent / mortgage / tax / wasn't really my bag and pitched a tent up in the carpark of Tesco I'd expect to be moved on, if I returned, I'd expect someone to stop my entry.
