James. Posted 4 September 2012 Posted 4 September 2012 Bit of a shame this, I've been to some cracking squat parties.
Finnegan Posted 4 September 2012 Posted 4 September 2012 How anyone can defend squatting is laughable. Tell them that.
1964FOX Posted 4 September 2012 Posted 4 September 2012 Interestingly it appears that this applies retrospectively so anyone squatting prior to 1st Sept automatically committed a criminal offence at midnight on th day of enactment of the law. We've had a few instances of reports so far but not as many as I thought.
Daggers Posted 4 September 2012 Posted 4 September 2012 How anyone can defend squatting is laughable. Why?
acooling08 Posted 4 September 2012 Posted 4 September 2012 In an odd logic sort of way, squatting is like rape. Entering somebody elses personal space by force and without permission!
Guest MattP Posted 4 September 2012 Posted 4 September 2012 Have to feel for them really. Imagine what a total mess your life would have to be at to even have to consider doing something like it.
21st Century Fox Posted 5 September 2012 Posted 5 September 2012 Stokes Croft in Bristol is going to be a bit less colourful now, awesome place.
Jaspa Posted 5 September 2012 Posted 5 September 2012 I thought squatting was legal because it was a part of human rights in some way Obviously not. Failing to see why anyone normal would vote for any of the three main political parties, seems to be something come out of the Cons everyday now, the Lib Dems have done themselves right in and that Miliband just doesn't look like a PM, add to that Ed 'Talk to everyone like a toddler' Balls
MPH Posted 5 September 2012 Posted 5 September 2012 so they want to live in someone elses home free of charge against the will of the owner of that property.... and thats apparently ok with some people... Yet when they get 'offered' a free room, colour tv and 3 square meals a day- better than a dusty warehouse with no electricity! ( jail) FREE of charge ( to them) its suddenly wrong. This isnt about money this is about people wanting to do what the heck they like without giving a crap for anyone else. And yet amazingly so called 'rich' people get the blame for it I found this 'advice' for people considering squatting" 2 Form a group. You can squat by yourself but it is preferable to squat with at least two people, especially in a rural area. That said, it is usually best to build a small community or at least have a couple friends with you to help defend the property against thieves and other threats and to share the work and expenses of maintaining the place. The bloody cheek!
Zingari Posted 5 September 2012 Posted 5 September 2012 Will AVB get away with it? no!!! sitting on a stewards head is bang out of order !!!
MPH Posted 5 September 2012 Posted 5 September 2012 Will AVB get away with it? Looks like that poor policeman has his head stuck up AVB's arse. Cant be pleasant.

davieG Posted 28 September 2012 Author Posted 28 September 2012 London squatter first to be jailed under new law That's one way to get 12 weeks free accomodation
Nick Posted 28 September 2012 Posted 28 September 2012 I think you should be sent to jail the moment you become homeless.
MooseBreath Posted 28 September 2012 Posted 28 September 2012 I think you should be allowed to assume ownership of anything you want regardless of who it belongs to
Nick Posted 28 September 2012 Posted 28 September 2012 I think you should be allowed to assume ownership of anything you want regardless of who it belongs to Does that not already happen in terms of large corporations and governments?
MooseBreath Posted 28 September 2012 Posted 28 September 2012 Does that not already happen in terms of large corporations and governments? It hasn't happened to me, but it might have happened to other people I suppose. I'm just looking forward to taking ownership of my neighbours 911 later. I can't afford one, so there's nothing wrong with me taking his. I'll probably crash it too just for shits and giggles.

If you were taller and funnier, you could do 'stand up.'
MooseBreath Posted 28 September 2012 Posted 28 September 2012 If you were taller and funnier, you could do 'stand up.' With your ability to offer such deep penetration and killer blows, you could easily be a gay porn star.
Nick Posted 28 September 2012 Posted 28 September 2012 With your ability to offer such deep penetration and killer blows, you could easily be a gay porn star. And a virtual middleclass reacharound from Webbo. Quel surprise. Oh and I love the fact that you thought 'gay' porn star would be somehow a greater insult.
Nick Posted 28 September 2012 Posted 28 September 2012 We live in a capitalist society that protects property - protects property over human life. I'm not suggesting squatting is great for one moment and in very few cases it can be justified or tolerated, however sending those with the least life opportunities to prison who's alternatives for shelter are bleak and limited surely can't be the right answer?
Webbo Posted 28 September 2012 Posted 28 September 2012 And a virtual middleclass reacharound from Webbo. Quel surprise. Middleclass, moi?
MooseBreath Posted 28 September 2012 Posted 28 September 2012 Homeless people should be helped but not by giving them a free pass to commit crime.
