    yep.

    let me see, stamp duty, personal tax. Withdrawal of benefits.

    £6M would be cheap, impound their Irish homes.

    I would have agreed, then had it overturned on appeal / taxed them into extinction.

    Sauce for the goose?
    Apparently the land is worth £120K. According to C4, it's costing the council £8M on the eviction, and £10M for the policing effort

    Perhaps build them a shower block and force them in to be cleaned?

    Or maybe we should all be pikeys. Just a small caravan each, much smaller footprint than some dirty great Dim Prawn mansion.

    Oh no hang on, we would need all the space we saved for new roads.

    It's suprising that in a capitalist country where property rights are meant to be sacred this sort of tulip can go on for longer than it takes to get a few police cars to arrive - especially squatters.
