Idiocy...

The time has come to vent one of my annoyances publicly. 


For weeks now, protestors have occupied not only St Pauls Cathedral but Finsbury Square in central London, making a complete mess of what is public space. This in itself is completely inexcusable in my mind, but today they have taken it one step further. They have decided to take over and occupy a dis-used building, owned by major Swiss investment bank, UBS.


What on earth are these people thinking?! Some of the claims are along the lines of "due to Government cuts people in society are losing out on their nurseries, community halls and youth centres, so we're going to take over this space which is not in use". BIG problem in my mind - that space is not owned by them! They have no rights to it whatsoever. Sure, if they want to pay UBS for the privilege, and UBS agrees, they have a contract and no problem. But in today's society, you cannot simply walk into some place that does not belong to you and take it over. Just because you think Government cuts are "unfair". 


What a load of utter rubbish. Taking away public spaces by setting up hideous protestor camps akin to ghettos in war-torn countries is one thing, but simply thinking you have the right to march onto someone else's property and claim it is simply sheer hubris. Imagine if you go on an extended holiday and come back to find someone camping in your living room, just because they decided to take it over. The police would be called and the intruder forcibly removed. 


I am beyond this - bring in the police, and get rid of the lot of the lazy, jobless hooligans who think they can hold this city to ransom.


Rant over. Adios.
