I squat a listed building and i'm taking on the responsibility of the owner who has left it to rot. I'm maintaining and securing a structure thats part of my city's history. If it wasn't for our efforts you would be round a derelict building complaining about an eyesore etc.... mate theres alot to look at before having a go! for example the current housing crisis etc. and the fact that squatters are not necessarily "scum of the earth"! I look after my community and I'm proud of my efforts!
I'm happy to say in America, if I call the police for some one trespassing on my property who refuses to leave, they will be right over to arrest them. The idea of evicting a trespasser with a legal warning is laughable and handcuffs would be the expected means.
I squatted houses a lot when I was young and have helped others with it. If I could, I also would "steal" a job that currently is not being done. You are talking about primary needs now and many people are just not allowed to work or to live somewhere. Where I live (in Holland), houses are demolished by the thousands, just to serve the market for the higher priced. A neighbor who was truck driver and worked very hard to go back to Yugoslavia was not even allowed to another one. Thanks. Alfred
@AlfredMoi Wow... all this stealing... im guessing that all of these people are tramps and have been living of the government getting all this moany for nothing and they don't even pay anything for it... im glad that the amout of money you tramps are getting is dropping but i think this will just lead to you lot stealing more of our stuff we have worked HARD for...get a propper job you tramp
@RABicle I don't feel I need to justify myself to anyone, but since you asked.
I went from being in lots of debt to paying cash for my 6 bedroom mansion. I have the nicest house out of anyone I know.
But this the difference we're talking about. I worked hard to go from zero to hero. I didn't feel I needed to steal.
AND the people that squatted this house weren't on the street. One guy admitted he had a 40k a year job. I AGREE it's disgusting about the homeless, but *this* isn't the answer.
@svengalie i agree with Sven. if you want something nice, you should have to work with it, not get it handed to you or steal it. and even if u are homeless, GET A JOB. you dont have to steal a mansion like that, its rediculous.

Enjoy paying your rent "like normal people", I had a great job at the time and I'll see you in hell.
The place wasn't even owned by an individual, it was owned by a bank and they left the front window unlocked.. Jealous are you? Go and squat an empty building if you fancy..
Oh, Sven- we remember you when you were outside checking your Argus and shaking your head and we laughed at you then as we do now.
Trespass is not a criminal offence FYI
I've already taken the audio off this video to sample in a techno track, I wish you said "Scum of the earth" where you were too pussy and resort to calling us 'gypsies' and having your other words flash up on the bottom of the screen.. It could of been 'the drop'. You could have been famous, Sven, you evidently wish you were.
there are actually very strict categories you must fall in to get council housing nd a huge amount of people do not fall into these categories...i know a lot of squatters and they have been in their buildings for years and years because they treat the building well and the owner can see that it is a good thing that the house is being lived in rather than rotting from damp and mould
how can you get so passionately antzy about this topic when there's so manny other unjust things going on in our world.
while your argument of clothes on a line and empty cars may seem a strong argument at face value. these things are little more than material possession when it comes to staying alive but when it comes to an empty property i can only assume the owner allready has far to much money on there hands to leave a perfectly good living space unoccupied.
My argument stands, if they're that bad off there are proper channels to go through. They don't need to steal - that's what it is. By definition, depriving someone else of their property = theft.
No, but in a society where we all must live among each other there are certain unwritten rules. Theft has been a nono for centuries for a good reason.
If everyone went around taking whatever they desired the world would sink into anarchy.
I have had minor experience with the local homeless situation. 90% of people are homeless for a reason, them squatting wont solve these reasons. It's not a solution.
Wow, the people commenting seem to be rather ignorant, im totaly with you Sven, im just your average american "yank" as you would say, working and earning a living like most people. Why would someone purposely disturb some one elses liveng space. Its just rude, I back you an your argument 100%, ps i love the vids keep them coming
Ye i spose squatters are "freeloaders" as you call them, but if there's no one using the building and the squatters take care of the property then surely it's better then having the same people living on the street. Especially in the winter. The law makes no sense though, don't understand how it's legally possible to nick stuff and not be arrested or booted out.
I couldn't be bothered debating your video. We clearly have different views and you presented your point in an equally or more arrogant matter. If you wish to make a point or inform people by making a video do so in a reasonable manner.
Now about the name calling. Have you seen your own video? "Freeloaders", isn't a name? That's an adult way to present a point? Come on.
Discussing squatters rights is a contreversial subject which you clearly...
Oh it's semantics now is it? I digress, "Can't engage in adult debate? Result in insults!" happy?
Which part wasn't reasonable? Which parts were arrogant? Freeloaders? That's like me saying you've got long hair, it's not an insult it's a statement of fact.
And this is my point, there is a lot wrong with squatting, but regardless a lot of folkes DON'T respect the building. Would you like me to provide examples?.....
....so by your argument I could come along and use your car. As long as no-one is harmed what's the damage? No? Ok where does the difference lie?
Wait a second, I see a whole bunch of clothes on your clothes rail you're not using. I'll put them back just as I found them honest!
The reasoning behind squatting is flawed on so many levels. If they don't want to live like the rest of society fine. But they have to conform to the rules of normality. If you wouldn't like it done to you....
... know little about. There's nothing wrong with squatting as long as the squatters are respectful to the building.
You ask why can't they live a normal life? That's exactly one of the reasons many people squat, it's because they don't want to live like every other person in their country. Sure it's a radical way of doing it but it's what they want to do and as long as no one is harmed whats wrong with it? If you don't want to squat you don't have to but why can't others squat if they want.
aaaaannnnnndddd when they are done and made a mess guess what the taxes pay to clean up their drugs YAAY!! as im 16 i dont pay taxes but still im incensed beacuse its bludy rediculus! also the fucking laws are too lax in this country i mean ffs look at what some dickheads my age are getting away with; knifes, dogs, illegal dirt bikes. someone needs to sort it out. and as i have the mental age of a 40 year old im the one who gets the stick beacuse they dont like being told off.
I kinda see your point because you are right they are prolly having some parties in there and not taking good care of the place. But, just think . . . humans were nomadic throughout the majority of human history. Staying in one place and paying rent to a "property owner" is a relatively recent development. Perhaps these young people are feeling drawn to live a different way. You use the word "normal" a few times. Normal is a rather arbitrary concept. Don't you think? :D
Well, the Paleolithic period of existence supposedly dates as far back as 2.5 million and the agricultural revolution started about 8000 yrs ago, give or take a few thousand. And the agricultural era marks the end of nomadism and is when people began building permanent housing along river banks. So I was saying that non-nomadic living is relatively recent, only taking up 00.32% of the last 2.5 million years of human history. :D
Well, I don't understand why someone needs to crash out in a E1.75m property, but I also don't consider the property to be anyone else's home. Squatters don't take over occupied homes. I try to only be wrong once a week. Sometimes twice.
your cuntry is so stoopid that it popularizes riding around on poser ass motorcycles complaining about peoples living situations (and like a little bitch)- yeah yer cuntry IS stupid
I was living behind a carpet shop for a while - because I could take discarded carpets from the skips and wrap myself up in them. Then I got permission from the council to busk, raised some money, got myself a tent and lived behind a factory - and carried on up from there. Sure it's not easy, but there's no fucking reason that they should squat in a £1.75mil house
I swear that the majority of the people bitching about this have never actually spent any time homeless, and if these people really "had" to squat (which they don't.) Why couldn't they find themselves an empty run down house? They'd get a lot less attention, and the odds are nobody would care. This seems more like a publicity stunt to me than anything else
removal of squatters when a "section 6" is displayed must be done through the courts or it is illegal causing the offending parties to be liable to breaking and entering, wich could in turn lead to arrest fines and imprisonment. this is the law. but its not as silly as theft by finding and way more usefull to the majority of peaple who in the comming credit crunch may well be finding themselves having to squat with the verry people they have counted as imoral rejects. i find this hillarious. dbs
what about the diggers and how many of them died for 15%!!! of the population of the uk (who are homless or nfa) to live quite rightfully in the warm and dry Squatting is perfectly legal BECAUSE there is no damage caused to the building AND because the buildings have to be empty for the squatters to move in. The people who own this property obviously dont care about it or they would have sorted out security, i would if my house was worth 1.7 mill, wouldent you? yours a dirty brighton squatter
There are unofficial companies that specialise in removal of squatters for a reasonable fee, and it's a lot cheaper and quicker than going through the courts.
you are just as much a troll when you post up opinionated rubbish that slates independant minded people (squatters) who are prepared to have a go at their own way in the face of an overwhelming opposition- ie a freemarket hijacked by capitalism.
You have failed to recognise my argument or validate your own complaints (other than revealing your own jealousy of these 'freeloading' squatters.
Your argument is more than recognised in the fact I haven't deleted your comments. Something I don't do - I relish any /real/ debate. Something which I've obviously missed amongst your hateful (and arguably racist) comments.
You apologists can dress it up any which way you choose. It's still theft, if they're genuinely homeless they need to adress it via the correct channels to get the correct help. This short lived "solution" doesn't help, infact it makes the hard working public despise them
the "correct" channels are verry often not "open" to these people, and until you find yourself in the same position i severly doubt if you will ever understand how hard it can be to be homeless, as much as i hate having to repeat myself to peaple with no real idea of how the world works i will untill the message is across
the only stupid thing about the UK are the short sighted ignorant knockers like you.
I am just back from 2 years in your country- the pessimism exuded by creeps like you is a cancer killing Britain...
move to SouthAfrica and lick up the sensibilities there!...of course not- you will find fault with everywhere..You are part of why Aussies call brits 'Whingeing-poms'
What's the matter with this guy? Why is he so obsessed with what other people have got and how? Why does he give a fuck? Get on with your own life pal, you're not exactly struggling yourself now are you? Get over your daft insincure ego you middle-class twat.
number94... you seem to be anti-capitalism with your "it's wrong to own houses you aren't living in" ideal, and pro-socialism/-facism/-communism, alternate systems of rule with no personal ownership. Yet in such systems, not everyone magically gets a free house, and governments tend towards eliciting far more control... so how would you stick it to the man then? Or maybe you're a fan of slavery? Of course, I was forgetting; such regimes never have any problems at all!
Do priniples change with monetary value? If this was an average 2 or 3 bed house and a family came home to find it occupied by squatters I wonder which comments would be different ?? Just thinking !
You mention this 'poor' houseowner, but he is hardly that poor if he owns a £1.75 million house that isn't his only property, and if squatters gained legal entry that implies that the place was being left in disrepair enough for people to enter; hardly looking after the listed building either. On the other hand, many squatters turn disused and empty buildings into positive spaces, showing films and hosting events.
This house (from my understanding) is immaculate. Brand new furnishings and in very good order, I don't clearly show the furnishing picture on the actual article.
How would you feel if you (like this gentleman) worked very hard all your life to amass a small fortune, only for it to be stolen?
Ignorance? How would you feel if they stole your car? Or your possessions? Or indeed your house?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Quite why you would advertise you total ignorance on YouTube is rather curious I think. Your attitude to squatters and gypsies is in common with the fascist school of thought and is completely wrong. Perhaps you should consider that not everyone wants to be a 'normal' sheep working jobs that arn't worth doing and paying extortionate rent to greedy middle-class houseowners.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Unfortunately this video was made with the same intellectual vigor as the one on climate change. He ought to do some studying and thinking or stick to making videos on expensive toys - his one area of expertise it seems. I initially checked out these videos as he is a friend of Mordeth13, who's terrific. Sven, on the other hand is clearly a posh, boring, wanker. ('wanker' here defined by a dictionary as 'A detestable person' - I am using the word as correctly as Sven uses the word 'Gypsy'.)
Intellectual vigor or not, Sven has done a great job in exposing peoples' thoughts(within this forum),some clearly bigotted ,some based on personal ideology some good some bad ( only in my opinion)
I do like Sven's very expensive motorbike and I am not at all jealous,much ..fizz.!!
For the public record I'm only a posh wanker because I got here through my own graft. I'm not just some daddy's rich boy.
Three years ago I was in xx,xxx debt, living worse than hand to mouth and largely fucked. Did I just decide to sit there with a bitter attitude? Did I just decide "I deserve this nice house" and take it? No.
Seems to me you're one of 3 people commenting on this video siding with the thieves. Why?
Sven,you're a top o.k. guy (stands to reason if M13 thinks so),you don't have to justify yourself ! I gave up a long time ago bothering with people saying/thinking the likes of 'it's all right for you/your sort '(purely coz I spoke in a certian way)Be aware of such feelings ,they are sometimes malevolent. But be proud of what you've achieved and remember sometimes you have to be discerning as to whom you share things with.
They are Thieves in the same sense that they are Gypsies ie they are neither. Unless the house has disappeared. I recommend that people read what the squatters say for themselves and the comments of decent people who live in the area who feel sympathetic toward them. Google the Brighton Argos. You have no more evidence that they want any more somewhere to stay than you have that the owner is honest and hardworking. Possibly a banker! That makes you a wanker who kicks people when they are down.
I live in my flat. This from comment to The Argus: 'censored, Brighton says... 1:19pm Wed 10 Dec 08 So long as they don't do any damage, fair play to them. It's scandal that there are fewer homeless people than there are empty properties' Not everyone is quite as vicious or foolish as you would like to believe. The Law does not regard it as thief because it is not theft. I think a clue to your attitude is the shrug you responded with to the question how long has the house had been empty.
The definition of theft is depriving someone of something. So you think it's ok for them to do this? Why? Would you not then be upset if you went out for a pint of milk and came back to find 12 strangers in your flat?
Oh, so it's ok if it happens to some rich mug, but not on your doorstep?
zypp33's comment sums it up. If everyone did this we'd very quickly fall into social disarray. The only thing I can think is this is an "us and them" thing. Bitter people who expect everything for nothing.
Thanks Judge, that clears that one up! Of course there are squatters in places in London, including my area. You ought to make up your mind whether I am a nimby or an embittered freeloader, by the way. Are you seriously suggesting that homeless people should freeze to death rather than move into an empty house? What I would not do is leave a property vacant just waiting for the market to recover. I have made my mind up about you - you are beyond redemption and a boring half-wit!
Then we'll all be thankful that you wont be back to post more drivel :)
As I've said there are proper channels for the homeless. All I'm suggesting is they don't steal. I know plenty of folkes without a car, and plenty of cars that aren't used. Are YOU suggesting that they simply take them?
Seems to me you're on your own with your opinion (well as good as, besides the one troll and the other feller).
I'll let you even have your opinion without insulting you!
I don't care if the house is empty. I don't care if it's worth 1.75 million. I don't care if it's a tent in a field or a small flat. IT'S NOT THEIRS TO OCCUPY OR USE. All these details are irrelevant if they want a bed to sleep in there are three* homeless shelters in Brighton. I work near a converted church that is used for just that purpose. If they're in that much trouble that they don't have a house then they need to find the proper help not resort to trespass/theft.
Have you ever stayed in a shelter? If I were a billionaire I could buy as many houses as my money would take me, leave them empty and that would be just dandy? When there is a housing shortage?
So as far as you are concerned I could, in principle, own dozens of houses and leave them empty for the market to improve while people froze on the streets or where assaulted in horrible shelters and that would be ok. You are wrong on the law and your ethics stink.
I had given up, last shot - maybe common sense will prevail.
In an ideal world wouldn't that be lovely. But it's not an ideal world is it. Let's say we did that. Where is the incentive for anyone to work towards anything?
Sure have the rich/government/whoever dish out freebies to everyone, suddenly it becomes easier for the whole world to suddenly be destitute. I'd love to have a free house, especially in this economic climate. But it doesn't work like that for a reason.
Sorry if you were looking for life long commitment but it seems to me that with your position reduced to absurdity it is time that I moved on. There is really nothing more to be said without repetition: You are wrong on the facts of the law and your moral stance is repugnant.
No, my moral stance is realistic. When faced with reasoned sensible argument you bugger off - funny that. Have you looked what 98% of the other comments think? Do you agree they're depriving the owner of something? Then it's theft by a commonly agreed definition.
You think is is preferable people freeze to death on the streets than move into empty housing - an act which, for reasons unknown, you take to be a terrible evil - and that the concept of theft is defined by a majority of people who trouble to post here rather than doing the sensible thing and turn away in disgust. To cap that it seems you believe, like a child, that he who speaks last wins. Really, you are not worth bothering with. Spend a few quid on educating yourself.
Sorry where did I say I'd prefer people to die rather than move into an empty house? I NEVER said that. I'd sooner they get professional help - there will be reasons behind them being homeless, and whatever these things are they need looking at. Stealing a house isn't a solution, not even a short-term one.
He who speaks last wins? No, we're having some great entertainment here watching you (like a child) make things up and insult people when faced with sensible reasoned argument.
Also funny how I don't see you insulting your 'terrific' M13 - yet he has made this video a favourite and even hosted it as a channel video for a week or so. Someone who holds the same opinion as me it seems.
I fear the underlying reason behind these attacks is, in my mind, compounded by your bitterness and jealousy - only based on the way you word a lot of your attacks. Good luck with that.
Wait so you actually agree with the fact that vagabonds can take up residence in a house just for the hell of it? That makes them noble because they don't want to be "normal"? By normal you must mean contributing members of society.
That's terrible...get a job fools...that doesn't happen in America, but we do give money to people that don't work, and are illegal immigrants (well, they will thanks to Obama)...I think the world needs a tune up!
If people live in a house that they don't own or pay money to (and the government doesn't give them money like I said before), to pay for that house they are kicked out. I've seen it happen.
I was just saying that british people in gerneral say it a bit wierd, and very difrent from other accents (no kidding, right). it sounds to 'formal' i you know what i mean, don't take it to serious anyways, lol.
don't know much about the laws behind squatting but knew it was doable.
once saw on heartbeat (tv show...my mother) way back a bunch of squatters took over some guys house. interesting thing was the police would not let the owner kick down the door/break a window or anything like that because it was considered breaking and entering and they would arrest him. sounded like madness but wonder if the laws are true with regards to that.
maybe they're doing it to point out how ridiculous the laws and regulations are? I'd still kick em in the nuts if it was my house.. don't prove a point in my house.
even though I've been through alot of shit in my time I still managed to pay my taxes by selling my possetions, moving into a friend's house, going without basic human needs, etc and then idiots like these practically live in the lap of luxoury... it certainly shows what type of country we live in. Makes my blood boil.
Some of UK's laws are the stupids in the world even above America. One of my friends(going kinda off topic here) blew he own hand off, never play with fire works when drunk, and the police tried getting him done for terrorism. Yet these freeloaders invade property and the law protects em silly just silly.
So if you break in somewhere and is discovered, all you have to do is NOT leave, and claim you live there. The police will protect you instead of arrest you.
...until it happens in the house of the chief of police probably.

My argument stands, if they're that bad off there are proper channels to go through. They don't need to steal - that's what it is. By definition, depriving someone else of their property = theft.
svengalie 2 years ago
i guess this gets to me that bit more because i've had experience in this...
i've squatted and lived on travelers sites for a large portion of my life because in practice these 'channels' do not offer much efficient aid at all
within are scene it is a popular belief that property itself is in fact theft anyway
no one has any real right over anything in nature, it's just an illusion created by society
i can't hepl but stand amused when i see people reactions when this 'right' is questioned
MrCrabpants 2 years ago
No, but in a society where we all must live among each other there are certain unwritten rules. Theft has been a nono for centuries for a good reason.
If everyone went around taking whatever they desired the world would sink into anarchy.
I have had minor experience with the local homeless situation. 90% of people are homeless for a reason, them squatting wont solve these reasons. It's not a solution.

Ye i spose squatters are "freeloaders" as you call them, but if there's no one using the building and the squatters take care of the property then surely it's better then having the same people living on the street. Especially in the winter. The law makes no sense though, don't understand how it's legally possible to nick stuff and not be arrested or booted out.

First of all Fuck isn't a name, either is you.
I couldn't be bothered debating your video. We clearly have different views and you presented your point in an equally or more arrogant matter. If you wish to make a point or inform people by making a video do so in a reasonable manner.
Now about the name calling. Have you seen your own video? "Freeloaders", isn't a name? That's an adult way to present a point? Come on.
Discussing squatters rights is a contreversial subject which you clearly...
coolio436 2 years ago
Oh it's semantics now is it? I digress, "Can't engage in adult debate? Result in insults!" happy?
Which part wasn't reasonable? Which parts were arrogant? Freeloaders? That's like me saying you've got long hair, it's not an insult it's a statement of fact.
And this is my point, there is a lot wrong with squatting, but regardless a lot of folkes DON'T respect the building. Would you like me to provide examples?.....
svengalie 2 years ago
....so by your argument I could come along and use your car. As long as no-one is harmed what's the damage? No? Ok where does the difference lie?
Wait a second, I see a whole bunch of clothes on your clothes rail you're not using. I'll put them back just as I found them honest!
The reasoning behind squatting is flawed on so many levels. If they don't want to live like the rest of society fine. But they have to conform to the rules of normality. If you wouldn't like it done to you....
svengalie 2 years ago
... know little about. There's nothing wrong with squatting as long as the squatters are respectful to the building.
You ask why can't they live a normal life? That's exactly one of the reasons many people squat, it's because they don't want to live like every other person in their country. Sure it's a radical way of doing it but it's what they want to do and as long as no one is harmed whats wrong with it? If you don't want to squat you don't have to but why can't others squat if they want.

I kinda see your point because you are right they are prolly having some parties in there and not taking good care of the place. But, just think . . . humans were nomadic throughout the majority of human history. Staying in one place and paying rent to a "property owner" is a relatively recent development. Perhaps these young people are feeling drawn to live a different way. You use the word "normal" a few times. Normal is a rather arbitrary concept. Don't you think? :D

svengalie 2 years ago
Well, the Paleolithic period of existence supposedly dates as far back as 2.5 million and the agricultural revolution started about 8000 yrs ago, give or take a few thousand. And the agricultural era marks the end of nomadism and is when people began building permanent housing along river banks. So I was saying that non-nomadic living is relatively recent, only taking up 00.32% of the last 2.5 million years of human history. :D

Taking a small step back into reality here.....
How long do you personally think persons of a human nature have been dwelling in their own abode?
How many of those persons, in history, took exception to other persons/races/dwellers taking over their homes?
Do you make a point of being wholly pathetically and obviously wrong all your life? Or is today an exception?
svengalie 2 years ago
Well, I don't understand why someone needs to crash out in a E1.75m property, but I also don't consider the property to be anyone else's home. Squatters don't take over occupied homes. I try to only be wrong once a week. Sometimes twice.

I swear that the majority of the people bitching about this have never actually spent any time homeless, and if these people really "had" to squat (which they don't.)

You apologists can dress it up any which way you choose. It's still theft, if they're genuinely homeless they need to adress it via the correct channels to get the correct help. This short lived "solution" doesn't help, infact it makes the hard working public despise them

You mention this 'poor' houseowner, but he is hardly that poor if he owns a £1.75 million house that isn't his only property, and if squatters gained legal entry that implies that the place was being left in disrepair enough for people to enter; hardly looking after the listed building either. On the other hand, many squatters turn disused and empty buildings into positive spaces, showing films and hosting events.

They are Thieves in the same sense that they are Gypsies ie they are neither. Unless the house has disappeared. I recommend that people read what the squatters say for themselves and the comments of decent people who live in the area who feel sympathetic toward them. Google the Brighton Argos. You have no more evidence that they want any more somewhere to stay than you have that the owner is honest and hardworking. Possibly a banker! That makes you a wanker who kicks people when they are down.

I live in my flat. This from comment to The Argus: 'censored, Brighton says... 1:19pm Wed 10 Dec 08 So long as they don't do any damage, fair play to them. It's scandal that there are fewer homeless people than there are empty properties' Not everyone is quite as vicious or foolish as you would like to believe. The Law does not regard it as thief because it is not theft. I think a clue to your attitude is the shrug you responded with to the question how long has the house had been empty.
number94 3 years ago
The definition of theft is depriving someone of something. So you think it's ok for them to do this? Why? Would you not then be upset if you went out for a pint of milk and came back to find 12 strangers in your flat?
Oh, so it's ok if it happens to some rich mug, but not on your doorstep?
zypp33's comment sums it up. If everyone did this we'd very quickly fall into social disarray. The only thing I can think is this is an "us and them" thing. Bitter people who expect everything for nothing.
svengalie 3 years ago
Thanks Judge, that clears that one up! Of course there are squatters in places in London, including my area. You ought to make up your mind whether I am a nimby or an embittered freeloader, by the way. Are you seriously suggesting that homeless people should freeze to death rather than move into an empty house? What I would not do is leave a property vacant just waiting for the market to recover. I have made my mind up about you - you are beyond redemption and a boring half-wit!
number94 3 years ago
Then we'll all be thankful that you wont be back to post more drivel :)
As I've said there are proper channels for the homeless. All I'm suggesting is they don't steal. I know plenty of folkes without a car, and plenty of cars that aren't used. Are YOU suggesting that they simply take them?
Seems to me you're on your own with your opinion (well as good as, besides the one troll and the other feller).
I'll let you even have your opinion without insulting you!
svengalie 3 years ago
My attitude?
I don't care if the house is empty. I don't care if it's worth 1.75 million. I don't care if it's a tent in a field or a small flat. IT'S NOT THEIRS TO OCCUPY OR USE. All these details are irrelevant if they want a bed to sleep in there are three* homeless shelters in Brighton. I work near a converted church that is used for just that purpose. If they're in that much trouble that they don't have a house then they need to find the proper help not resort to trespass/theft.
(*AFAIK)
svengalie 3 years ago
Have you ever stayed in a shelter? If I were a billionaire I could buy as many houses as my money would take me, leave them empty and that would be just dandy? When there is a housing shortage?
number94 3 years ago
So you assume it's just empty? Do you know something I don't?
Do you know the owner wasn't on holiday?
Do you know he wasn't renovating it?
Do you know if a family member hasn't just died and he's selling it?
There could be a plethora of reasons, but like I say, it's irrelevant anyway. They're still stealing.
svengalie 3 years ago
So as far as you are concerned I could, in principle, own dozens of houses and leave them empty for the market to improve while people froze on the streets or where assaulted in horrible shelters and that would be ok. You are wrong on the law and your ethics stink.
number94 3 years ago
I had given up, last shot - maybe common sense will prevail.
In an ideal world wouldn't that be lovely. But it's not an ideal world is it. Let's say we did that. Where is the incentive for anyone to work towards anything?
Sure have the rich/government/whoever dish out freebies to everyone, suddenly it becomes easier for the whole world to suddenly be destitute. I'd love to have a free house, especially in this economic climate. But it doesn't work like that for a reason.

You think is is preferable people freeze to death on the streets than move into empty housing - an act which, for reasons unknown, you take to be a terrible evil - and that the concept of theft is defined by a majority of people who trouble to post here rather than doing the sensible thing and turn away in disgust.

don't know much about the laws behind squatting but knew it was doable.
once saw on heartbeat (tv show...my mother) way back a bunch of squatters took over some guys house. interesting thing was the police would not let the owner kick down the door/break a window or anything like that because it was considered breaking and entering and they would arrest him. sounded like madness but wonder if the laws are true with regards to that.

Squatters are rule benders, they are allowed to keep the house as long as 1 of them stays in the house at a time..

maybe they're doing it to point out how ridiculous the laws and regulations are? I'd still kick em in the nuts if it was my house.. don't prove a point in my house.

That is just sickening... damn squatters.
even though I've been through alot of shit in my time I still managed to pay my taxes by selling my possetions, moving into a friend's house, going without basic human needs, etc and then idiots like these practically live in the lap of luxoury... it certainly shows what type of country we live in. Makes my blood boil.
Anyway, 5* as usual. Keep up the videos.

Some of UK's laws are the stupids in the world even above America. One of my friends(going kinda off topic here) blew he own hand off, never play with fire works when drunk, and the police tried getting him done for terrorism. Yet these freeloaders invade property and the law protects em silly just silly.

So if you break in somewhere and is discovered, all you have to do is NOT leave, and claim you live there. The police will protect you instead of arrest you.
...until it happens in the house of the chief of police probably.
