    I'm a right of centre guy... And I really do hate squatters rights... But ffs, what the fuck is going on when down-and-out, homeless people are being turfed out onto the street on the coldest and snowiest night of the year?

    I'm sure it was only closed to traffic.

    you have a point here with the cold and all, yet to me breaking into a place and then setting fire to it is simply not acceptable under any circumstances and those squatters should go to jail. nice and warm there too.

    walked past the scene this morning on my way to work, looks pretty bad…
