Unpaid residents beware.

Do economists really believe that squeezing peasants until their eyes turn red will make the wheels of their money machines turn faster? Or is it really about the power, or maybe inflicting misery?

Er, no. It's about getting buildings back to the correct owners so they can do what they want with them and not be hindered by idiotic, barrack room lawyers. Who have NO idea about the reality of life! I have yet to set foot in a squat that I thought,' oooo this lot are putting something back into the community!' or ' wow , theses guys are reaalllly looking after this place and keeping it tidy! And they all appear toilet trained !' it's more like ,' watch out for in capped hypodermics!' ' careful not to step in shit!' 'watch out for that booby trap!' '

When emptied and restored its the community that thanks! The community that says,' bout time, that lot are all crack heads! And making life a misery !'

By all means help those that need help. But the vast majority of squatters around good old Hackney are playing the system and couldn't give two hoots about neighbours or the community they are parasitic on !

And before you play the Troll card, I don't care if you react. You post a valid reason why squatting is ok and the vile lifestyle it attracts.

Surely, if a building is owned by someone, they can do with it what they want?
It isn't the squatters right to dictate to other people what they can do with their property and just take it.


I'm sure if tables were turned and someone worse off than the squatter just took a squatters bicycle and used it without permission and refused to give it back, the squatter would change their view on property/ownership

At the end of the day, what squatters say about ownership etc is horseshit. They can bleat all they like. Still doesn't make them right. So - tough titty said the kitty!

Always a good idea to get the peasants to fight each other.
