This is a thread about stealing property, not toilet ettiquette.

You have probably read about a gang of hippy artists that are breaking into mansions in Belgravia, Chelsea and Knightsbridge that are privatly owned and squatting there until they get evicted.

Scum or Heros?

or





think I'd rather the party

True Johnny Boy. I reckon DSI should purchase it.

Or a place for those scummy hippies. Perhaps they can do some painting and make the place look better? I hear they have good party's.

I dont think I have sen any press coverage that hasn't been neutral or in favour of the hippies.

Its making me giggle that you lived in Woolwich and thought the Ferrier was bad Ashley. that just shows how bad it was! :)

Says it all I think. ;O) Although I didn't live in the estates. Saying that my missus did, and they're not much better than the Ferrier. Their next for bulldozing I hear.

I am very happy to report that the massive estate you can see from the elephant and castle train station platform (sorry I don't know the name) is largely boarded up now. I can't believe they ever house human in that place. :S

I am familiar with the Ferrier estate and this is all true - its a shit hole...
Greenwich council were offered the same solution when it came to the Tavy Bridge Estate in Thamesmead - fix up or pull down... They have decided to fix the accomodation for those living in council owned properties.

The only issue i have with this is that those in council housing on the Ferrier Estate are being moved to Thamesmead - the strong gang culture on the estates are bound to clash - but thats for another thread i guess

Reminds me of some funny partys.

What gets me is the stuff that happened in Bristol where the squatters demonstrated about there squats being knocked down to be made into new council housing, shooting themselves in the foot surely.

I went to Uni there for 4 years. Depressing!


Haven't been that way in a few years. But did my driving lessons around there about 8 years back was a proper shit pit.

OMG IT LOOKS A BIT LIKE THE OLD BAGLEYS <3

how do i find it? robin call scum.....

DIRTY SQUATTING TECHNO ELECTRO BEATS!

ill call az1 and storm - its on ;-)

i used to live in North Thamesmead for a bit and got the train to work via Abbey Wood so travelled through there many a time...
Its not a nice place at all... Its where they filmed Clockwork Orange and more recently E4's Misfits

Pfft, leave the bumpkins to the fields, I'll get onto Kronik sounds and the Scummy lot.

Who mentioned communism? In a nation as rich as ours, decent affordable housing shouldn't be a luxury to a point where people bust their balls in order to afford a two bed semi with an indoor lavy. It should be a fucking right. It's repackaged slavery.

"In his book, 'Who Owns Britain' (2001), Kevin Cahill takes a long, hard look at UK land ownership. His findings surprised many: the Royal Family for instance owns UK land equivalent to an average-sized county. Just six thousand people own two-thirds of the entire supply of UK land - forty million of the sixty million acres of UK land are owned by a clique comprised of the Crown, aristocrats and a few institutions.

Or, put another way, 70% of UK land is owned by 1% of the population. Some might say the extent of the concentration of UK land ownership is feudal-like, or at least unhealthy in a progressive, modern, liberal democracy with a dense and rapidly expanding population.

Cahill then goes on to put in context these figures on the degree to which owning UK land is a privilege. The British population - circa 60 million - is housed in 24 million dwellings, which sit on just 4.4 million acres (which is equal to 7.7% of the UK land supply). Justunder 4/5ths of these 60 million residents live on 3.5 million acres, or 5.8% of the total supply of UK land. It is also surprising many that only 8% of UK land has been developed. That of course is not to say that the UK has 92% capacity for new homes: a large proportion of UK land is undevelopable due to the prevailing local environment."

Land investment is a minority sport, from which a few reap spectacular rewards.

On a side note did anyone see the homeless guy outside goodge street with a massive sign reading 'Ninja's abducted my sister, need money for karate lesson's?' Fucking legend.

Sorry, thought you meant this:
in a different context.

True, thats very interesting,

thing is the ones who own the gold make the rules, its very difficult to change these things
