Positive BBC Radio on squatting http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/worldupmc

Interviews with Mike ASS on 30,000 squatters in London
Friends from the garden centre 
And a lovely poem about squatters from Pete the Temp
Good to hear some positive media on squatting.
Also we need to counter the media myth that squatters could take your home while you are at the shops.This was already illegal under the 1977 (?)  displaced residential occupier (DRO) law.

There was a pre planned media monster machine assault on our rights to shelter, with collusion by the corporate cronies in Westminster who ignored their own public consultation in which 96% of the replies said do not criminalise squatting.These included replies from Judges and Lawyers associations, Police, housing and homeless groups and charities.
Still that's what democracy looks like in 21 st century Britain.
Corporate controlled cronies....Mike Weatherly MP who sponsored the anti squatting law ,was paid £108,000 to his campaign fund by Landlords associations,who would directly benefit from criminalising squatting.Forcing more people into an over inflated rental market while keeping 900,000 residential buildings empty (Empty Homes Agency figures)
In any other country we would call this blatant corruption, but here Mr. weatherley declared it in the House of Commons register of Campaign contributions.

Whatever they say squatting will stay, there are over 1 Billion squatters,landless and homeless people across the world. Viva the Resistance
