An Englishman's home is his castle, so the saying goes.
After squatters moved into John Hamilton-Brown's new £1million five bedroom home he has been forced to beg them to get out through his letterbox.
The group of foreigners were granted legal aid to fight to stay - while he was forced to represent himself.
The father-of-two was having the property renovated for his wife and two young daughters before they moved in when a dozen people from France, Spain, Poland and England sneaked in during the night.
The occupants are part of a growing army of squatters banding together and seeking out empty homes.
It emerged today that squatters, often young people, are swapping information online as they move from property to property before they get evicted.

Yep, this is a taste of the future. Or back to the future, as in Dr. Zhivago.
This is a case of homegrown English “law”. It has NOTHING AT ALL to do with the EU.
I read this last week in the Liverpool throw-way paper...
Only an air gun, but at least the judge did praise him -

All the UK needs now is more fire power...:^)
Heh. I think I read an earlier report of this..Daily Mail? Well, at least that judge had some common sense. And the citizens need to be allowed some real firepower.
Believe it or not, this is happening right here in backwoods WV. Small town. Man owns a small apt. house. Tenants moved out and before he could get the apts. cleaned squatters moved in and he can’t seem to get them out. I haven’t heard what the law is that is seemingly keeping him from his own property. I would be figuring out a way to get them out. They are druggies and are trashing his place. time for tear gas at midnight.
