Sure is...
However, I stand by the point that if a building is genuinely disused then logically it should be used for some purpose, I am not making a case for people to use buildings that are being renovated or have a planned usage. There is a difference,

No it isn't.
I have some empty boxes, would you like keep your stinking vegan shit in one? Maybe use another to store the miscarried fetus your drug addled skank whore of a girlfriend shat out?

And who gets to decide whether a building is disused or not?
If it's owned by somebody, then the owner. Not a bunch of fucking junkies who want somewhere to not get eaten by foxes for a few nights.

but why?
why should the owner be forced to put it to use? if he wants to leave it empty, isn't that his choice? how would you feel if someone said that you had to let people live in your garden?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 20 Nov 2013, 15:41, Reply)

slightly disingenuous argument there as the garden is in use.
I appreciate that and as I have tried to state a number of times the damage is key issue, I am sure you will be able to correct me but prior to the November law last year wasn't there something regarding the violence of occupation, so as long as there was no damage and you leave when asked (as many squatters did) then I don't see the issue with utilising the property. The problems all arise when violence is used and rights are violated and this goes both ways.

It's not the key issue.
Some bunch of cunts living in my building and stopping me from being able to do what I want with my own property is the key bloody issue.

Or simply, you're there when I don't want you to be. Trespass, in other words.

I disagree
I am of the opinion that as long as a building is not in use then it should be utilised.

i've been evicting squatters for 12 years and i've only ever known one lot go voluntarily
they all require a court order, because they know it buys them at least a few days, weeks in a busy court district, and during that time they mostly trash the place. look at the comments the LABOUR mp's have made in response to chris grayling's requests for stories as to whether commercial squatting should also be criminalised. even the hand wringers are in favour of it.
