I am sure DNB will be along in a minute to call you an idiot or tell you not to believe it and belittle you for reading and believing anything but what is written in The Guardian Clare the old boy probably did it himself...

This whole situation stinks, OK it is in the DM however the pensioner left home, walked his dog and when he got back someone else had moved in and changed the locks and refused to leave (still there) - that is the basics.
I suspect that they would argue that they did not intend to damage or steal anything in the house.

That is why I would arrest on suspicion of abstracting electricity.

For the Section 9(1)(a) offence, proof beyond reasonable doubt is required that the defendant intended to commit the offence specified as part of the burglary

That could be the one i cannot be arsed to find it

Took his dog for a walk for 2 days?

Meh, in other news worthy of the Daily Fail website, the X Factor has said yes to a ***** getting through to the 2nd round.

Agreed, Jenny's father works for the local council refurbishing council stock and he has some tales to tell

I do not believe every word of the DM story or even stories and prefer to read between the lines.

I just cannot see how the council could not have sorted this with a couple of calls to the Police to establish tenancy and the police enforce this end of.

If looking into the scam is required then so be it but for this not to be a civil matter is just way beyond my comprehension.

Perhaps a lot more to this story...

I've been in to a place which had reported a burglary. I looked around. It was carnage, then without thinking, said words to the effect of "God, they've trashed the place".

"Oh no, they haven't been in this room".

"Mr Pope, who has lived in the house for four years, was able to move back into his home last night after the family fled."

"A Barking and Dagenham council spokesman said council officers visited the house yesterday and found it to be empty, allowing Mr Pope to move back in."

"By taking quick action we have been able to restore Mr Pope to his home without the need to apply to court for an eviction notice."

The council spokesman is a joker!! By the time they did anything the squatters had already gone!!

In the article Clare posted, it said he was feeling unwell and stayed at a friends.
It makes me sick to think these people can come into our Country and take the pi$$.
Poor old fella

Btw, Edd, that thing that got through on the X-Factor is utterly repulsive. No idea how she managed as I could sing better in the shower, and I am tone deaf

Can't believe the attitude of the police. That was a complete cop-out in my opinion. How they can allow squatters to break in and take over that poor bloke's house is the bitter end.

Is there no right and wrong any more?
