Squatters under siege

Property is owned by an individual/or company. Squatters have no legal rights to exist inside and if damage has been caused, arres for damage is entirely acceptible. you people can not just carry on and do what you do wuth no regard for other people. contribute positively to the economy/social fabric/culture of this nation or get out...

Actually:

squatting is legal - you have a complete right in law to occupy unoccupied property. Morally, certainly, if someone has left a property to rot especially when there's people needing homes, it's almost a duty to occupy empty property. That is thinking about society and having regard for other people, and contributing positively to all the things you were rabbitting on about. Paying rent does not equal playing your part in society or giving anything to anyone apart from your landlord! So ?, think or get out...

...is that the squat got broken into by the police, and all the squatters inside were attacked by the police with CS gas, leaving one squatter in a serious condition in hospital. In addition to this one squatter has been arrested under section 18 for assualting a police officer.

Yup the same squat.

Hiya Squatters, really sorry to hear about being beaten up. Was that the West Yorkshire Police Force that did it, that same police that tell us that they are protecting and defending our rights and laws.

I am sure that squatting unused land has been a legal right for a long time something to do with history or something. Would any one know the history of occupying unoccupied land and turning it into something productive again. For those who comment on moral values then it seems that indeed making some land productive again is a very good thing. To let something just go to waste or indeed to promote thing going to waste, especially when there are needs to be met, could be seen as morally reprehensible.

So good work you squatters you seem to be doing your best to not let these building deteriorate and to keep them kept in good conditions, whilst also having somewhere to be productive!

To the police, well what can I say, you certainly not promoting my rights when you beat up my friends? And when you behave in that way in an extrajudicial way then your nothing better than a mercenary army!

Peace and Love, Toby
