    Bugman ... serious question

    Why are you a member of this site and why have you got no information about yourself on your profile?

    I suspect an alias set up for flaming purposes

    Actually, it is, provided no criminal damage is done when entering a property.

    When those of us who weren't arrested were let go after seeking medical help etc (i think a couple of hundred people), we walked to Glastonbury. On the way local country folk came out with food, clothes and blankets.

    Just proves it had nothing to do with the ordinary people and everything to do with the rich land owning/conservative scum.

    Yes and no. UK trespass laws are complicated.

    I am positive their is some aspect of squatting that deems it illegal. In EVERY situation, as well. Even in the UK.

    Well obviously not, or people wouldn't be able to do it without getting arrested, would they? Quite aside from which, I couldn''t give two fucks about the law anyway.

    It should be illegal for rich fucks to leave property/land empty for years at a time while there is a shortage of housing.

    BTW Squatting is a legal term meaning "to take possession through encroachment". The term "squatting" in and of itself implies illegal activity. Just thought you'd like to know.

    An alias wouldn't have 1875 posts, would they. Next question.

    But it's still fun:)

    and if it harms no one I really dont see the problem.

    We have so many laws, i understand the need for them in some cases... but they take all the fun out of living sometimes!

    You're not from the UK, are you? Like I said, if it was illegal, you'd be arested, savvy? And also like I said, I couldn't give two fucks about the law anyway, so dunno why you're so hung up on it.

    Well, that wasn't the question that was an accusation. The question was "why are you a member here?"

    You seem to have absolutely no idea what's going on in the world so you could hardly call yourself 'hip' now could you?

    "why are you a member here?"



    Because I love you.

    If you don't like hearing the other side of things then YOU shouldn't be here.
