MPs’ home squatted.
Perhaps the most novel and hard hitting protest against the MPs expenses scandal I’ve seen so far appears the on the BBC website today. While thousands and thousands wait for a council home, homelessness rises, the recession plunges more and more people into negative equity and houses are repossessed in increasing numbers two Labour MPs have utterly taken the tax payer for a ride – they’ve lied about their expenses in order to make money. Now these protesters have shown them up for the greedy and corrupt liars they are:
“Squatters occupy MPs’ ‘main home’
Married Labour MPs Ann and Alan Keen have come under fire for claiming thousands of pounds on a second home near Parliament, while their designated main home is only 10 miles away.
Now a group of men have taken direct action by squatting in the main home they say has been left unoccupied…”
An interesting story both for the point being made and the way is has been made.
