Seeing as a move to the lounge seems imminent:


Narnia, I think these specific squatters deserve to be ripped off by bad colin but the owner deserves a straight, well fitted cat flap and good Colin would probably want more work so I vote for good Colin.

I know these boys and they are very honest.

Oh my God, I can't believe I missed this thread, it is fecking genius!


Bit late, but just to quickly throw in my 2p...


Well I think I've heard enough now. The house was only bought a few months ago - by a private landlord, with planning permission pending. If the acceptable end of squatting (and I think there is one) is occupying a derelict building, owned by a faceless public body who leaves it to rot in perpetuity - then this particular occupation is nearer the other end.


If the landlord went round there in the middle of the night and encouraged them to leave - with the aid of a big stick - good luck to him.



Pretty much agree with *bob*. There is a place for squatting IMO, stories like Asset's (waaaay back) are examples of where squatting is acceptable, and even useful. This however, just stinks of a bunch of little tw@ts who wanted to have a nice play house in a nice safe area, because they'd be too scared to take over a flat in Brixton. I, like others on here, have been friendly with "propa" squatters in the past, and I suspect that they'd look at these children, and want to see them out on their ears.


I am glad it is a property developer who has bought it, rather than a family who wanted to live there, but that doesn't make me any more sympathetic to you, I hope you get dragged out of there, and given a bit of a kicking for good measure.


Sorry for bringing this thread back, just gutted I missed it, and felt the need to comment.


Oh, and JAMESF,


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.


Made me laugh! >:D<

Squatters or no squatters I can?t think of situation where it is ever preferable for a property to be sold to a private property developer/landlord profiteering off families need for housing while denying them access to their own homes.

I do not understand Brendan's post at 3.32 pm. How many families would be able to take on a huge house like the ones fronting Goose Green? I think they are all flats anyway. By a property investor buying it and turning it into flats he is providing more housing for people in need. Buying or renting, homes will be available. Surely that is better than having an empty house sitting there or occupied by jumped up punk squatters who don't even appear to need a home.

    • 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
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
