It couldn't have been their main home otherwise they would have been there... Oh wait... Really... Oh, okay.

Oh my how did this happen etc?

You will probably find their is a very intelligent mind behind that little plot.

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. The BBC's Lisa Hampele paid them a visit.

There are missing floors, pipes poking through half-built walls and sacks of cement dotted about. The couple have not lived here for many months, some say almost a year, but Mrs Keen describes it as her main home.

LINKY.

Good for them.

However I'm sure that the Keens will find another home/scheme with which to fleece us all again.

It seem that the locals think the squatters are better neighbours than the MP pigs

This was on Have I Got News and they quoted loads of their neighbours who said 'no, definitely never seen them live there' and they matched each quote like that up with one of Mr/Mrs Keen saying 'oh yeah we are often there. We live there.'

Was v funny.

Unfortunately all the troughing pi.... sorry MPs... who want to keep their expenses secret will start screaming that its all the newspapers faults and try to use this as a reason to legislate for more secrecy (completely ignoring the obvious about why the house was empty and the legality of their claims)

Couldn't have happened to more deserving people. One bit of good news that brigtens up my day. :D

Normally I disapprove of squatters and think they should be fed feet first into a mincing machine and fed to pigs.

But in this case laughed my pods off!

Though I do think it very Stalinist that a local council can appropriate a home to house some dole scum because it is left vacant for 7 months.

Isn't the stalinist mayor Boris Johnson suggesting just that? It was the first thing of his with which I agree.

Actually....

The remnants of last night's barbecue with the neighbours are in the front garden - some cold sausages and decorations on the pot plant.

Could it be that the squatters are vegetarian types, who want to claim that their meat is "ethically grown on trees" ? :o

*Munch munch, nibble nibble*
"Oi you're a vegitarian!"
"Yes, that's why I'm eating these sausages off these sausage trees! :P
