Squatters Rights

[gunner440]

Should squatters rights extend to people who are technically not UK residents?

No!

Oh, hello, @gunner440 How is Spain treating you?

Very good over here. Why wouldn't my own country treat me well?¿

As for the whole equal rights thing, I'm not sure how to answer it because it's rather obvious, are you trying to bait me into something?

Not trying to bait you into anything dude. People go "buh, it's obvious" - but that's because they've taken something on faith.

Asking someone to actually fully articulate a concept they say they hold dear is a way of saying, but do you know why it's important to you? If they can't articulate it, it probably means they've been taught to think that's correct, and that it's the prevailing cultural norm, rather than it being a consciously understood choice.

So I asked why. No more "sinister" than that

Ok, so what difference does their nationality make then?

Because I don't believe squatters rights should extend beyond British citizens, regardless of their ethnicity.

For clarity btw, the squatters were white, so take the "OH ITS A BROWN PERSON ISSUE" off the table, its a tiresome argument made by people who simply don't want to talk about the issue at hand.

If giving a shite about an old women who pops out to see a sick friend, only to return to find her home overrun by people and the useless twat police squad going "its a civil matter we can't do nowt" (even though that's clearly bollocks according to the gov) makes me a "Racist" which is whats implied here, then fine, i'm a racist and I hate foreigners despite being married to one since 2008.

But they don't have more rights.

It sounds like the usual bilge on social media, designed to get people angry at stuff that didn't happen.

Is there even a verifiable source?

Fuck's sake. There are no "squatters rights" in residential property. For anyone.

This was my point - the police had an obligation to remove them immediately but decided not to and said it was a civil matter. Evidentially they didn't get enough training.
