Squatters should have no legal standing and should be able to be killed.
The solution should be that if a property is not occupied by the owner, by a business paying rent, or by a tenant paying rent for a specified amount of time, then the property can be condemned and auctioned off.
Governments are too chicken (or bought and paid for) to do this, so they allow squatters to do the dirty work for them.
And yes I know, libertarians would be perfectly okay with a person buying a property, holding it for decades, or even centuries via it being handed down to his children and grandchildren and doing absolutely nothing with it. But then, libertarians are naive utopians who don't realize that individuals' inaction can have very negative effects on the overall community that have to be addressed.
Alas, London mobsters seem to have declined in their willingness to violently enforce property rights.
Exactly.
*Squatting* is theft.
That said, now that it has happened to someone rich and famous, watch something be done about it.
And what arrogance on the part of the squatters. But it’s hardly unexpected when you coddle criminals.
The Marxists just out of view who pushed for laws making this possible and who back these groups fervently believe anyone in favor of property rights should be killed.
Ramsay could have these squatters do another Ramsay cooking show....
