Absolutely.

Odd thing to say. I can understand you being in complete disagreement with some of the downward spiralling of our country, given what our forebearers did for us (or more specifically, disagreeing with some views that some of us may hold) - completely understand that, I don't understand why you struggle to take people with that opinion seriously - because it's not an opinion shared.

It's because, like he said, people have been saying it for years and we're still here. People who go 'Oh England's going down hill, we're all screwed' over the littlest things are a bit ridiculous to me. If England ever ceases to exist then it won't be down to a few opportunistic squaters.

I think in fairness: it was coming more from the fact that our forefathers built much of what they did on hard graft, toil and sweat....for people like squatters to think that life owes them a living - that's the way I interpreted what he meant. Difference in perception.

My longtime school mate actually choses to squat. Its not like she was forced into it by neing homeless, oh no. She CHOSE to move to london and find other squatters to freeload with. I dont understand the mentality behind that at ALL. I know some people its a choice between living on the streets or squatting, but to leave a perfectly good home to chose to do it?

well rent is expensive in London, so why bother paying to move there?

Because they pay no rent

She was paying no rent here either like. But that was because she was living with her mam.

Started talking to some squatters on the internet, decided 'free' life was for her, and left

They also get their food from supermarket bins and that, I believe its called being a freegan or something.

(And her 'sick' money, is spent on alcohol and gigs too. Since no food has to be bought or rent payed for)

Freegan?? oh my god, I've heard it all now!

Oddly enough, part of being a freegan...includes squatting


'Working less is another component of freeganism. Freegans oppose the notion of working for the sole purpose of accumulating material items.'

This part makes me laugh, when it comes to my mate. I dont know if all of these freegans claim benefits..but surely if its actually all about abolishing materialism...since she has a 'free' life', nothing to actually pay for or anything, she would not be claiming dole would she


IMO its just a nicer way of saying scrounger.

And of course.... these types - end up needing dental care, medical care etc - and have contributed not a bloody penny towards it.

The idea that these squatters are just poor little homeless people who have no other options is utter crap. Most are just freeloaders, crackheads and criminals wanting the usual freeride in life. And arrogantly thinking they have a right to it.

And then judges like her come along and champion them on. Nevermind the fact that somebody has worked hard and paid taxes to acquire that property. No, just let a bunch of random people come and steal it from them when theyre not home. Nice.

Does she Freeload the Food
thats clever
as stores chuck out good food due to legal dates on it.



But to leave a Perfect Home to Squat
that tells you she did not get along with (or like) others there.




Could you sit down in a cafe and chat to her now?

Not necessarily, you don't know that to be the case. It could have been nothing more than the girl in question wanting to spread her wings & flee the nest for nothing more than being independent - not all offspring want to live with their parents when they reach adulthood and beyond.

London would have been a reasonable choice of destination given that squatters and freegans are in far higher numbers there - than probably any other main city in the UK.

She gets on fine with her mum, she comes on visits quite regularly. She just wanted a different lifestyle.

And yeah, if I fancied going to london I could go and sit in a cafe and chat now, but I dont need to because she comes up here, probably every 3 months or so

[Zippy]

If you actually read all of what this judge says she doesn't even make sense. She's all over the place with her illogical thinking. She admits that it could encourage crime but then claims it's good for area's and is in public interest!!

Sounds like one of those twisted liberal thinkers who are so obsessed with being seen as some champion of the underclasses that they totally lose sight of the rights of decent, hardworking people who actually live within the rules of the law. She obviously doesn't care much about some poor family coming home and being faced with a bunch of strangers telling them they can't enter their own home anymore. Often in a very aggressive manner. Or the neighbours that have to live next to a scrapheap full of junkies.

Just bizarre, twisted and immoral thinking as far as Im concerned. People are sick of it.

[Zippy]

The goverment and councils should do more about derelict buildings for sure. But to use that as an excuse to just give people free reign to break into properties and take legal residence is just insane. And as we all well know squatters are not selective about which properties they choose to occupy. They basically invade any house they find empty for a short time. Their blatant immorality proven when they then refuse to leave at the owners request.

And all the better if the houses they squat in are carpetted, have nice furnishing etc......

Much as there is a humorous element, ... I think it's well beyond the realms of acceptability!!!

but it's nice to know that I actually learned something along the way... seems you can teach an old dog new tricks.

I'm not saying he is stalking you but I find the idea of it hilarious!

Clearly he is.... you dont' come across a random post from another site by accident or by googling my username - even throwing the prefix digital spy along with it..... it's not exactly the first thing that crops up on google.

So tibb is happy for their moderators to go about stalking members on their site.

I think its fair to say most regulars on here know I am Pyramid* from DS - but don't you seriously think it's out of order for a mod to be stalking another member in this way?

Perhaps more of you should try... there are some real nuggets on DS from me!!

This is absolutely nothing to do with me, and I wont be dragged into it.

I was simply trying out what you said, and was quite amused to see a tibb thread as the first search result, and the DS one as the 4th. Thats all.
