The council should help as they are homeless.


I trust they get at lest the minimum wages:

The National Minimum Wage (NMW) is a minimum amount per hour that most workers

in the UK are entitled to be paid. If you are being paid below the NMW you can

contact the Pay and Work Rights Helpline for confidential help.


Pay and Work Rights Helpline

For confidential help and advice on the NMW call 0800 917 2368


?5.80 - the main rate for workers aged 22 and over


http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/employment/employees/thenationalminimumwage/dg_10027201

Many East Europeans are exploited horribly by gang masters and many have resorted to squatting due to extremely low income.Non violently and politely I must add. Another option I have seen a lot is three to a rented room sleeping in rotation.



Not many homeless services for them at the moment. Some repatriation services for those for whom the move to the uk did not work out. Many have not got too much recourse to services.


Minimum wage is hardly going to apply sadly.

I myself am an immigrant.


When I asked your government to please let me live in your country, they sent me a tome of an application which essentially made me agree (and prove) that I could fend for myself and had no right to "the public purse". I then had to have just about everyone I've ever known sign and witness that I understood this. My entry visa states "no recourse to public purse".


I agreed, and was welcomed. The recession hit, we lost our jobs, and the savings are gone. So we are going home, as that was my end of the agreement as I read it.


We rolled the dice, lost everything, but we made that choice. Britain gave us as much as we were promised.


Simples.


edited to add: way off topic now sorry!

Dear Squatters, get out. Its not your house.


99% of civilised folk pay their way in life, I fail to see what terrible hardship prevents you doing the same. When I was young, keen to study but poor, I did what most people do, went out, got a job, and worked bloody hard. I suggest you do the same and spend less time on here defending your morally questionable rights and more time earning your keep so you are not a drain on society any longer than you need to be.

I see the main hole being its not your property. Someone spent ?715,000 on that property only 9 weeks ago and Im pretty sure they dont have a bottomless pit of money remaining to fight a glorified bunch of scroungers. I have no doubt at all that you are all civilised and intelligent as you mentioned in a previous post, that is by the by. It is not your property and you have been asked to move on, you should do so, otherwise you run the risk of losing the very little sympathy you have.

Milo

You are right, I am not sure.

I seem to have my own hole.

Yes, they have, as they admitted somewhere above on the previous pages Im sure. It terms of "it really hasnt got anything to do with ...", it shouldnt have anything to do with the squatters, they shouldnt be there, none of us should have anything to do with it, this situation should not exist.

Prices were a lot lower in 1999. House could have been bought way before then and possibly not have a mortgage or a very small one. Maybe owner was living in it. So ?715k is a alot of money to pay for a house that is in a state and I would expect that the work will start as soon as planning permission is granted in order for the purchaser to convert into flats which they will then sell on or rent. And why is that a bad thing? Perhaps the purchaser is also planning on living in one of the flats. Those houses are HUGE and not many people would need or be able to afford to live in one that size. Are there any that have not been split into flats?

My understanding is that planning permission is only valid for a certain period of time and nothing like 9/10 years.I presume once it lapses you have to reapply. Thus I'm pretty sure Milo is incorrect on this point.

GooseGreenTeam,


I have no desire to be hostile to you but let's not kid ourselves, you have not happened upon a derelict housing falling into disrepair with owners who have shown 'no interest.'

You have forced your way into someone else's house while they're briefly absent - 4 months since the owner bought it is no time at all.

Interested to know if you think there is a minimum time period before you can count a home as having 'no interest' from the owner (apart from the interest rather implied by them having recently shelled out over 700k on it)


a 4 week summer holiday?

a fortnight?


If I bought myself a home but couldn't move into it for 2 months because I was working abroad, or in hospital recovering from an operation or staying with an unwell parent, or hell, just exercised the choice not to move into it for a couple of months because it's mine and I can do that, would you feel justified in breaking in through an 'open window' and taking it from me?


I'd really like to know what your thoughts are? (can we save time by cutting out any 'we know the owner isn't working abroad or in hospital' to-ing and fro-ing as you had no idea of what the owner's situation was when you broke in.)

Incorrect on what point?! I don't want to get into a debate about Metaphysics, but the point I made did actually happen. Planning permission for the development near my house was put in for during 1999, building work didn't start until late 2007, these things actually occurred, no grey areas, no opinion.


You're not "pretty sure" Narnia, and similarly Reggie it's not that you are "not sure", you're both just making things up, like many of the posters on this forum. That's what people do when they're hiding their real motivations.

Or......


planning permission could have expired, then applied for again.


Seems to me that by using terms such as "pretty sure" and "not sure" Reggie and Narnia have been honest about the extent of their understanding.


Curious to know who is "making things up" and what you suspect their motivations could be?

Yes, planning permission could have expired, then applied for again, and the same is true of this property being squatted. Funny how those 'pretty sure' and 'not sure' turn into facts a few posts later. Just like the squatter's being aggressive and the building work which is imminent. A very useful way of putting down someone whose lifestyle you disagree with - the real motivation.

You didn't miss it PK, they didn't say that, it's just another made up story, despite TheAllSeeingEye being "sure".

Like the one about not having forced entry (as detailed in squatters handbook chapter x: always maintain you didn't force entry)

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
