Drakes Group Illegal Eviction Of Squatters Resisted In Brighton

persons unknown | 11.12.2004 16:49 | Free Spaces | South Coast

Drakes Group, a UK private bailiff and enforcement agency  http://www.drakesgroup.com employed by many county courts in the UK
(see: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200304/cmhansrd/vo040426/text/40426w22.htm)
failed to carry out an illegal eviction of squatters in a residential area of Brighton
last Tuesday thanks to support and solidarity of neighbours and concerned Brightonians.

The eviction of a four bedroomed house owned by a Mr J.D. Hutchinson of Epsom, Surrey was foiled when the five scumbag bailiffs and the owner were met by over 30 supporters of the squatted house pointing out the need for them to be granted a county court order to legally get the squatters out of the house.

Mr Hutchinson replied that he did not care if the eviction was legal or illegal, and the Drakes Group head bailiff D. Moss (07709456379) Local Office- Boundary Road, Hove, said that he had been evicting squatters in this way since before some of us were born.

Unfortunately he did not count on being outnumbered six to one by local supporters of the squatters including the next door neighbours of the house, as residents prepared for assualt inside with barricades and composting food items as well as unpleasant liquids.

Then after three hours of sitting in their cars trying to decide what to do the owner and bailiffs drove away tails firmly lodged between fat arse clefts.

Hutchinson is now seeking an Interim Possession Order (IPO) from Brighton County Court and this application will be heard there on Thursday 16th December at 10am.

The squatters are enjoying their week of free accomodation and deciding on their next course of action. They send thanks to all who came to their aid last Tuesday and who have continued to help since. Special thanks to The Cowley Club  http://www.cowleyclub.org and Advisory servive For Squatters  http://www.squat.freeserve.co.uk/ for a great day.
