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.

    • Hi all, I’m considering purchasing a leasehold flat on the Dog Kennel Hill Estate and am feeling a bit spooked by things I’ve seen about the spiralling debilitating costs of major and cyclical works levied at leaseholders by Southwark council (and councils in general). Especially as there is a ton of new regulation coming down the line for social housing, I am a bit concerned about my ability to pick up the leaseholder share of the cost of some of those mandated works for social tenants. I wondered if anyone knows if there have been major works done on the estate in recent years before I get too far down the line with the purchase process. Or if anyone is aware of any that might be coming. Or has any experience of recent costs from Southwark council with properties on similar estates. The estate agents have obviously told me that everything’s been brought up to code so there’s no plans in the works but we all know what estate agents are like…grateful for any experiences or feedback anyone is willing to share!

    • Re dogs: Goose Green is fully fenced - plenty of dogs.  While Peckham Rye isn't fully fenced, it is very large - so if your dogs like to run, but will come back when called they can get a lot of runaround there (again plenty of dogs),  and as a Melbournite - you can barrack for the SE London Giants aussie rules team there too. As an aussie now in ED a few years, love the area.
