Squatters rights drew attention to the amount of empty properties available when people were short of accommodation. This was in the days of freedom of speech and the individual. We no longer have freedom as such in this country. We are a police state and very restricted in so many ways. We have no unions to protect us, and our laws are fast becoming corrupted in favour of the police and not freedom of the individual.

There is still houses full of squatters.
A lot of the houses that are filled with squatters now a days are houses which have been boarded up for quite a few months, normally council houses.
They keep less quiet about squatting as it puts homeowners off buying houses in the area if they know that squatters are in the neighbourhood.

The squatters are now the tenant who is being evicted but still won't get out....they stay there without paying and then the court gives them more time to stay....

Because their seven years is up (the time the law allows to lay claim to land you squat on inside the UK) and they've laid claim to all the properties... and are landlords instead... and now worth millions;-)

It is still happening, but it is no longer a newsworthy item. It is called mass uncontrolled immigration.
