Squatters get comfy in Guy Ritchie’s £6m Fitzroy Square mansion.

Ok we are getting mixed up with semantics. The property is being squatted legally. Which means that people can come in and use it without having ownership of the property. If that extends to the current squatters why wouldnt it extend to others?

Basically if you are a squatter what right do you have to tell me not to squat the same place?

You can only squat an unoccupied building.

Since the squatters now occupy their squat. No-one else is allowed to squat it.

Possession is 9/10th of the law!

Would have liked to have been a fly on the wall yesterday when the bailiffs finally decided to fuck off. I'm guessing there were quite a few free schoolers around, plus they were able to make a Twitter call-out for backup.

A couple of years ago we saw off an illegal eviction when we squatted an old language school on Oxford Street. There were just 3 of us in the building when the bailiffs broke in at 6am and tried to kick us out. But one of the guys I was with was a real tough bastard, unphased by anything, and we saw them off with the help of the police. Here's the story: http://gutshot.com/bforum/blog.php?b=573

Property owners sometimes try the heavy approach, then if it doesn't work they'll go through the courts.

One of the few positive and accurate pieces of reporting. Never mind that it is an opinion piece it is more accurate than any of the mainstream media articles spewed out. And of course it has quotes from Fitzrovia News.

Check out the right wing responses to the squatting action from this clubbers website. I don't suppose they've ever been to a squat rave in their lives, then.
