Big up to all those defending the rights of a small group of people who think they should not pay the same bills the rest of us do. I plan to stop paying for my food in the future, I hope you will all support me then.

Bastards forced us out.....some minor injuries but nothing too serious.... aggressive police dog given a good spraying with a fire extinguisher that shut it up.....builders there now covering windows and doors... police outside together with G4S security people.

"Big up to all those defending the rights of a small group of people who think they should not pay the same bills the rest of us do. I plan to stop paying for my food in the future, I hope you will all support me then."

Firstly, squatters occupy properties that would otherwise be unused and empty. Secondly, by doing so they actually make rents cheaper for "the rest of us" because there's less competition for rented houses.

And yeah, I would support you refusing to pay for food - if it were big supermarkets you were taking it from, not some corner shop or ordinary person.

What a tool - how are shops going to survive if their stuff gets stolen ?

To dog lover

Dog lover - you carefully snipped the first word of the text you were quoting. The full text was "aggressive police dog given a good spraying with a fire extinguisher that shut it up".

I have no objection to people defending themselves against aggressive dogs with a fire extinguisher. Perhaps we could be told what sort of extinguisher it was.

I second dog lover's comment, you sound like a macho arse. Why didn't you spray the dog's handler instead? Probably would have been a lot more effective & appropriate.

Makes no difference

It makes no difference what "sort of extinguisher" it was. This is cruelty pure and simple. The poor helpless animal which is living a form of slavery had no options but to attack.

You had a choice
