My brother lived in squats for ten years starting when he was at college
He is the only person I've ever met who graduated in credit without a penny of debt.

it was equal parts awesome, and the most hellish place to live.

My brother would say the same.
He woke up freezing after a party one morning to find that some comedians had removed his front door and thrown it off the balcony.

Oh man, those crazy squatters and the lives they lead.
I'm glad it's all illegal now.

I'm surprised you feel that way.
Going a bit right wing in your old age, eh?

He's been persuaded by the humour and wit of Boris Johnson.

I agree it should be illegal.
we were never asked to leave though.

My brother lived in condemned council blocks (nice)
so were he not there, the flats would have been empty. Unbelievably, when they finally tore the blocks down, he'd squatted there so long the council offered him a flat in the new build. Had he not had to fuck off sharpish he'd have been housed for life as a reward for stealing gas and electric and a flat off Manchester City Council. Nice one, 'the state'.

the street we were on was going to be torn down,
but there was a couple of old people refused to sell as "theyd been there since the war." as far as I know it all got knocked down on the end.

I hope they left the old people inside when they did it.
It would have eradicated the smell of wee.

Yes, it was them.

sounds about right,
I came home one weekend to find my room trashed because "we took a bit too much acid"

Nice one, 'friends'.

I was going to put some hilarious comment that references popular 90s sit-com 'Friends' here
But then I realised that I don't actually know enough about it to do so.
Er... LOL?
