Squatters occupy MPs' 'main home'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8124763.stm

These people still don't get it, do they?
Quote:
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.
Quote:
In a statement on Monday they said: "It is our home and has been very special to us for a long time. We find it extremely upsetting to know that our house is occupied by squatters who appear to believe that they are entitled to do what they wish in our property."
Aaww, diddums... It's our tax money and has been very special to us for a long time. I find it extremely upsetting to know that our money is being used by gravy-boating spongers who appear to believe they are entitled to do what they wish with our money.

I'm actually surprised that none of your politicians was lynched so far.
