The Daily Torygraph has excelled itself once again.OK nothing new about overpaid middle class scumbag thickos attacking the homeless and the poor. They can when they are overpaid, rinse public money, invest in property and of course the robof the global south ( where their wealth - and that of the UK - comes from anyway ). They are fucking useless curtain twitchers.
Tell em what you think at...

Anyway. Quake in your boots - it must be revolution...the peasants are revoltin' etc. etc. Here's wot they said. ( BTW while your at it you may google the community support officers blog and see their attacks on the homeless - wankers )
Squatters taught to pick locks by council leaflet

Squatters are being given advice on how to break into empty properties and set up home without paying rent, in a council-recommended handbook.
The £2 booklet, issued by the Advisory Service for Squatters, gives tips on removing locks, and suggests that those caught breaking in to a property should claim they are “clearing drains”.
In a section on legal advice, squatters are told to put a notice on the door warning it is a criminal offence to evict the new residents, and to threaten any homeowner who objects with the words: “You may receive a sentence of up to six months’ imprisonment.”
A number of councils across the country are steering local people who do not have a home to the Advisory Service through links on their websites. They include Hackney, Islington, Brent and Camden in London, as well as Durham and Doncaster.
The Home Office also consults the group on its equality policies.
The guide positively encourages people to become squatters, with advice such as: “Only a small minority of squatters ever get nicked – squatting is not a crime.
“If anyone says it is, they are wrong.
“With a few exceptions, if you can get into an empty building without doing any damage, and can secure it, you can make it your home.
“Private houses may provide years of housing to lucky squatters.”
Eric Pickles, the Conservative local government spokesman, said he was appalled that councils were helping potential squatters get advice on breaking into empty properties.
He added: “Homeowners will be horrified that town halls are giving squatters the green light to break into law-abiding citizens’ homes.”

But I would just like to ask, if you post anything from this particular, ahem, "newspaper" again, please would you put a suitable health warning with it? The hatred for other people expressed by some of their commentators is enough to bring on an attack of vomiting.
