This is Occupy London at the 'repossessed' empty UBS building, as filmed by The Guardian. It shows how positive squatting can be (and often is). Note how they aim to provide value to the community, intend to be friendly to neighbors, and intend to clean up the building... and all by bringing a commercial property that's been empty for years back into public and positive use.

  • @LawfulRebellionUK

    Nice one, look forward to it.

  • @MacabreHeritage Its been looked into and all will be revealed on my channel as soon as the dots are placed fully!!

  • And this action generates filing fees, service fees etc. for local courts and serving agents, paid by the bankers not the squatters if they have no significant assets.

    With this in mind, the enforcement system should welcome repeat bissness.

    This stimulates economic growth ...

  • A squat with business speed internet? LOL. Who's paying for that then? Why were Bank of Ideas registered as a company in November? Where's the money going. Why is much of it going to climate camp action? Why is the Delphi technique extensively used at GA meetings? Who is Daisy Goldman? Why all the secrecy? Why all the neuro linguistic programming?

  • good stuff

  • two guys are walking down the street when a mugger approaches them and demands their money .

    they both grudgingly pull out their wallets and begin taking out their cash .

    just then one guy turns to the other and hands him a bill and says "here is that $20 i owe you :)

  • i used to protest in wall street but i took an arrow to the knee.

  • Keep on keep on and at last those who need to hear will understand x

  • @Nutplucker Don't even start with the freeman nonsense.

  • @Atomblaster5 We didn't invent iphones, cars, the internet, starbucks or youtube by sitting around smoking weed and talking about how much we love each other.

    I'd rather we were run by the wall street investors than some crusty hippy detatched from reality.
