If I was the women I would chase the burly men out of the flat at gun point if they didnt move I would shoot them ,Im not joking . It can take a lot of effort to buy property ,days of your life that you spend working when you could be having fun . So in effect their taking part of your life by stealing your property and I wouldnt put up with it , Id try to get away with killing them if I had too but if needs be Id be happy to go to jail but no way would I let someone act like that towards me and get away with it
Id try reasoning with them first, likely I would say like my grandfather said before he shot that man for not taking his hat off to my grandmother ....." I think your making a terrible mistake " Then the gloves would be off and well they would have made a terrible mistake by getting me riled
But the house had been sitting idle and was going to be demolished. Better that someone use empty land surely?
ha ha ha I used to squat a millionaires mansion in Bournemouth on top of Alum Chine big sea view and everything. there was no furniture there - place completely empty - 1/2 an acre of ground - heating and lighting still on - lived there a year and then handed it over to someonelse - big 6 bedroomed house with a pool etc etc and a go-cart that did about 40mph in the garage which we used to take over to a track near Brighton sometimes it was brilliant ! at first for 6 months it was just me but then 2 friends came to live there Of course the place was empty and the way in was that a door had been left open - course a few days later I changed the locks but no-one ever visited there even though it was in perfect condition
I think if someone is genuinly homeless then ''squatting'' is ''ok''. If it is just a lifestyle choice and people just do it for ''shits and jollies'' - then fuck off out of there. If the owners return and ask you to leave then you should piss off and find somewhere else to squat [regardless]. It is a weird loophole in the law that prevents squatters from being removed - but i guess in some cases it is preferable than getting you head kicked in in some night shelter or freezing your ass off in some doorway.. I think i've even read if you are unaccosted for 12 years and do not any pay rent - the property is yours. Very very weird.
