squatters on goose green (Lounged)

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.

    • I appreciate you wanting to help Angelina, but at the moment, unfortunately, the nature of the help we need is slightly different. But you are so right. There is always two sides to one story, and at the moment me and my family's side is not really getting heard.  And for your information- mental health problems are very common among the general public and in my view nothing to be ashamed of, looked down on, or to be used to label someone. Having a mental health problem is simply the same thing as having a physical problem with your knee or chest. But it could explain certain behaviors and ways of experiencing your surroundings, which is why I needed to mention it in my post.  As I said, thank you for getting involved Angelina. Anyone else who have experienced something similar as me?  Any constructive suggestions? 
    • I used to go to Brockwell all the time, but with lockdown it changed from being able to stay all day sunbathing and swimming to a limited lane swim time slot for the same price. This totally changed the relaxed vibe. It's also incredibly difficult to book online. If this has changed back I'd love to know. I really miss how it was. I guess it was an easy way to make a lot more money! 
    • Yes.  It happens to a neighbour who has a van parked off Sydenham Hill quite a lot. It's because the fuel lines are easier to get to than cars.
    • I like the idea of a lido, provided it's accessible to all. I haven't been for a while now.   Do you have to book Brockwell lido in advance and or have they gone back to just queuing  to enter?  Are you able to stay for as long as you wish or are there time slots.  Do teenagers  have access to these spaces? I can't see them booking in advance and time restrains would  not work for them...particularly if its costly. The last time I went to the lido it seemed to lack the diversity that it once had.
