I know some of these squatters very well. They are quite dishonest. They are not homeless individuals as they all live at home with their parents and take turns to stay in the house. One of them lives in my house and every time I go to work I come back wandering what else has been stolen. BE WARY.


They are not homeless individuals in need of a home.

I thought you were going to stop making things up? What's your point?

They are local. A couple live close to East Dulwich and others in Central London. They do not actually live there and go back to their parents home on a very, very regular basis. It's more of a teenage boys den than it is a squat for homeless young people desparate for somewhere to live.


Hot water, electricity - they do not need it! Their parents feed them at home, their parents do their laundry, they bath at their parents home where they live for 5-6 days a week, their parents give them pocket money and they stay at the squat when their parents let them out to play. Most of them still go to school!


Typically mum and dad will cook them their dinner at home and then they will come out to play in their den. They will go back to their parents house when they are hungry, will have a cup of cocoa, stay in a warm bed and watch TV (Satellite or cable)at their parent's expense. Most of them come from affluent backgrounds, are not homeless, live in nice houses and have caring and doting parents. It's a bit of a game!

While you may be getting water and electricity supply accounts by the book, are you able to say that members of your team are able to get finance for the water/gas and electricity by the book? Most of you are still at school aren't you? I suggest you ask members of your team to confirm they are funding the finance of your squat by legal means only, but just remember, one of your squatters lives in my house and I may already know what the answer is!


I suggest you make sure your team live above the law in all aspects of their life and do not abuse their parents' hospitality.


None of you are actually homeless are you? You have one or two people staying during the week so the squat is occupied. The rest of you are at home, watching TV with your parents.


Squats are for people who are homeless and they are not supposed to be a weekend retreat for teenagers who want to live on the edge. The hypocrisy is that the squat is your second home and you are using legislation and squatters rights to give youselves that second home. No doubt when you're all qulaified and working in the City you'll all buy a second home in the country as an alternative and look back at the radical good old days with fondness.

Good grief - you sound like a stalker...

How the f*ck did I miss this thread?


Squatting is not 'legal' - it's just that it's not a crime per se. There is a big difference. It is trespass, and the person with the right to possession is entitled to possession subject to going through the right procedural hoops.


Did someone really post "all property is theft"?


I've seen it all now.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
