Madeley meets the Squatters -
An intresting documentary ,although heavily bias it does show a variety of the diversity of squat life.
However through very bad research it perpetuates many of the lies propaganda and myths that have been spread about the homeless,dispossesed and squatting community.
Namely the lie about squatting homes while people on holiday or shopping.
Only empty buildings can be squatted.
Did no one tell them that the Protected Intending occupier law that already exists.(Which meant the learning difficulties woman would have been a Protected Intending Occupier and the squatter would have been moved out nearly immediately under the existing law.Thus another case of the new law not needed.
Or the Displaced Residential Occupier law that means u cannot squat someones Home and displace them as the Residential occupier.
There was No need for the Law ...that was hyped up through media fear by a multi billion pound press monopoly industry.
Many things raised issues,but it was also good to see folk from the squat world creating the other perspective so many times.
This government has stated it is prepared to arrest up to 4,200 people per year for the crime of seeking shelter,an ancient right that this unjust law cannot defeat.
We have a right to have shelter in this world.
The shocking figure that 24,000 people froze to death last winter.
Those elderly and those unable to pay heating bills.Homeless and Street.
How many more will end up on the streets and homless,nomadic,dispossesed,freezing in the doorsteps of those army of salvation.
Even the Salvation Army evicted us ....they said homelessness was there biggest business.
Fuck this law .Repeal Section 144 of the LASPO Act.
Restore our Ancient right to shelter.
Big up all those Brave enough to try and put something of the squat perspective across,especially Grow Heathrow n Squash crew,Cat Brogan ,Pete the Temp and the skip diving BHAM squatter...... Whatever they say squatting will stay ..Viva the Resistance.
