Squat a disgrace!!! Ravens Ait turned into a dump

Squatters turn a private island into a dump!

It’s fair to say that we all have a certain amount of sympathy for the homeless at the moment. After all, through no fault of their own, thousands of decent, hardworking families are losing their homes each month, victims of the recession and redundancy. They have paid their taxes, they deserve help, not to be housed in lavish mansions but to be provided with ’suitable’ accommodation until they get back on their feet again.

Squatters, however are a different thing altogether. These are not people who have necessarily fallen on hard times, they are, it seems groups of people who feel it is their right to take and abuse what doesn’t belong to them, in an almost arrogant like gesture of defiance to the rest of us. A group of squatters have ‘taken over’ a £4.5m private ‘island’ in Surrey and turned it into a dump. The former hotel and wedding venue went bust and squatters ‘moved in’ in February. Not content with taking over someone else’s property, they then proceeded to wreck the property, urinate in the corridors and turn a marquee area into a rave venue.

Now the council is ‘trying’ to evict them, no doubt at the taxpayers expense.
