"One of the squatters, who said he was 20, told the Sunday Telegraph: 'There are many empty homes and we should be able to live wherever we want.'



Apparently socialism doesn't creep anymore in Britain. It just breaks in and sets up house. When I read this article, my mind flashed to the grubby, greedy "Tax the Rich" protests in Wisconsin. A major segment of the American left would agree with this jaw-dropping insanity from across the pond. You can bet there are liberal judges just salivating to make rulings sanctioning this type of crime.

Sounds like it's 1776 in Jolly Old England.

That is a pretty jaw dropping story. Eventually, they’ll be able to just withdraw $$ from your bank account to. After all, you HAVE the $$ and they NEED it.

OMG... I would end up in prison, because I would most certainly lose my mind and murder the lot of them by any means possible. I would be so furious, I would say goodbye to life and freedom and truly, truly murder them, premeditated, knowing full well what would happen to me.

The UK is leading the way for the death of the West. If America was smart we’d cut all ties with them and then nuke them off the face of the Earth.

Has anybody heard of “adverse possession”?

Originally, it was to protect the current property holder from some ancient ancestral claim to land that had not been recognized for years/centuries. Now it seems that time frame may be down to a few days/weeks in the UK.

The world is upside down.

After squatters moved into John Hamilton-Brown's new £1million five bedroom home he has been forced to beg them to get out through his letterbox.

Well, just how does this guy think these poor squatters can fit through his letterbox?

This reminds me of the well off family in “Dr. Zhivago”.

Squatters would be shot in Texas, and no charges would be filed. Too bad about the stupid people in England who have no property rights.

For the love of all things decent...they are NO LONGER A COUNTRY OF FREEDOM. I would come in, with my side arm, I would tell them they had better pick up their things that instant or I would deem them a threat to me and start taking care of my safety.

Situations like this are the reason God invented the Street Sweeper.

So now you understand what the EU truly is. And England willingly agreed to be part of it. So now the question is, when will this absolute disdain for property rights come to the United States, because, in short, that is all this argument is about. Property rights and who has them. Clearly, the EU will use Europe’s tax money to fight to eliminate private property rights.

Here it is called Burglary of a Habitation and can get you 2 to 20 years in prison.

Government no longer works the way it was intended. Logic is now out the window.

We will soon be having to fight in the streets to reclaim what is ours and we will have to fight our own government along with the riff raff that they now represent.

If you are not willing to fight then you might as well join them as that will be the only way to get something for nothing. The rest of us will have to fight and possibly die to maintain our rights but I’ll go that route instead of degrading my morals and standards.

What men found out a long time ago that death was much preferred to servitude.

FReeper Matthew Bracken predicted squatters would be supported and defended by the government (in the US) in his second novel, Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista. (If you read it for nothing else, read lovely heroine Ranya's awesome takedown of the villain!)

This is coming to America, folks. Private property rights are being attacked right and left.
