I think on average, the eviction of squatters from a random house in London of average value is 10k to the tax payer. When I was living in London, squatters being removed from million pound plus properties was up to 100k in costs for the council. This probably costs more now. Money that can be used for, say the health service, education, is being wasted because of these leeches who say it's for art... when it's just selfish, conceited nonsense to glorify their own egos.

When £10,000,000 was claimed by MPs in the LAST 6 months of 2009 as 'expenses' I find it hard to get excited by a community art movement costing us £100,000.

Lets not even talk about the bankers that recieved billions for *****g us so badly that we had this last bloodbath budget that will destroy public spending will and cost us a projected 1,300,000 jobs.


Pretending the £100,000 would go to 'health service, education' is at best naive, and at worst emotive horse sh1t.

You seem to be the kind of guy that says jack all about our 'leaders' ripping off repeatedly for billions but for some reason hates on a normal guy for claiming unemployment benefit. A pathetic case of misdirected outrage.

At least if your gonna crusade pick a cause thats worth it.
