However, the squatters had a very serious message to deliver as Joseph Blake from SQUASH (Squatters Action for Secure Homes) said:
"Today's protests against the criminalisation of squatting hopefully marks the first of many days of action across the country. Ken Clarke was targeted because by attempting to criminalise squatting he is essentially criminalising the homeless in the middle of a housing crisis and people are rightfully angry. This proposed bill will only serve the interests of property speculators and unscrupulous landlords whilst at the same time criminalising the last remaining option for many to put a roof over their heads."1c
