1945 - 1946

Over 40,000 families occupy former army camps and empty homes from Yorkshire to the South Coast in a wave of squatting. Squatters groups form federations, calling for more affordable housing. A major council house building programme is launched.

1975 - 1976

Estimates of 10,000 to 50,000 organised squatters living in abandoned private and public housing. Housing is a major issue for the "underground press". Housing co-operatives formed. Homeless Persons Act (1977) passed after long campaigns about homelessness.

Maybe it's time for another "squatting" campaign - local empowerment in its most direct form .....

No omah, the point I was trying to raise is the exploitative private landlords.....Don't give them any reason to target regular working households unable to afford a morgage by suggesting they squat...Which is now an illegal act BTW....

If it is Illegal it must be dealt with.

But going back in time
its not so easy to say its the same.
They never had a Dead Greece
hanging onto the money and banks
of the Whole World.
