so..your for squatting eh!!..sounds like you squatted a few times yourself there..and as for saving thousands in housing benefits..lol..what about the cost of damage done to propertys.
Most squatters do not cause any damage to the premises they squat. Long term squatter often try to keep their buildings in good repair.

A few thousand pounds doesn't go very far these days. By the way if property prices were not so very high and if property to rent and buy was not in such short supply there would be far less need for people to squat.
I hate to say this, but you do have a point here - I was in London Last week and the property paper it was free - you might like that SC), suggested rents of £300 or more a week for a flat in London, I guess a room would be £150 a week, which sounds very expensive and that someone is being ripped off.

However, a few of thousands in the bank could get a deposit (say £500), and maybe 13 weeks rent for a room (£1950), £2500 and you could have a room for a quarter of a year and Im sure that in that time anyone could arrange to get an income to support themselves.

You have to have a full time job before any landlord will give you a tenancy! Landlords want to know this.

Not all landlords! I'm on benefits. Initially I did have problems, but then decided I wasn't going to be beaten. So I put on my best 'office' type clothes, made my self look good, stood tall, and told them I was 'between' jobs after having recently split up from my husband..... none of that was a lie by the way.... I just didn't add that I'd been 'between' jobs for the last 3 years

About ten years ago when I was making about a hundred pounds a week from the Big Issue I did think about renting a bedsit as some could be got then from around 45 pounds a week in some parts of London. Then the Big Issue sales slumped. And then I was told about a squat in Southwark by an old mate. In the late 90s I did have a mate at Archway in north London that I used to sometimes stay with.

Why don't you move to Scotland or somewhere cheaper? Or just some rural area in England or Wales?

Do you know you can live like a king in Thailand for 5 dollars per day? Or in India for 100/month ?

Or you could buy a tent and live in a forest.

You could buy this house:


3500 pounds (5000 Euros) in Eastern Germany.....

Just look for houses in Eastern Germany, e.g. postcode 39387 and surrounding areas......then you do not need to squat other people's property and damage the house price/area by the bad image it will get by being squatted.

Who wants to buy a house in London that is squatted or live in an area haunted by squatters?

I explained that before because it would be harder to get a woman in a smaller city than London via the internet, as because London is the biggest city in Britain it has more dating site members than anywhere else.

Yes I had thought of that but in most forests it would be found as they are too open. There are a few small hawthorn woodlands around London where you can hide a tent though. Hawthorn trees are small and dense thus making it easy to hide tents in them. I have got a mate who lives in a three man tent at Ham Riverside Lands near Richmond.

Yeah rooms to rent in London are expensive npowadays they range in price from about 70 pounds a week to 120 a week depending on the area. I think even in other parts of the country though private rented accomadation is still quite expensive. As someone said there are some landlords who will take people on benefits though they are fewand far between. The best thing to do is to get a part time job first then move in somewhere and claim housing benefit. I can stand the hassle you get from the DHSS when you are on unemployment benefits which is why I sell the Big Issue.
