Squatters taking over people's homes and the horrible Democrat policies that make them impossible to evict have been all over the news lately.
But this high profile story out of London really takes the proverbial cake. Squatters have taken over famed chef Gordon Ramsay's high end York & Albany Pub in Camden.
The pub was temporarily closed as Ramsay was in the process of changing the lease over to new tenants. Apparently, the pub wasn't doing so hot, having lost £15.3 million since opening in 2008.
However, before the deal could be finalized, professional squatters broke in.
Ramsay has been trying to evict them, but a source told The Sun,
It's proving an absolute nightmare. They've glued tight all the locks and are cooking up a storm in the kitchen, which is especially galling for Gordon.
The cooking is because the squatters have apparently started up a soup kitchen out of their house to feed the homeless.
One of them talked to the media. She said that her house had burned down, and she couldn't afford a new one.
Most Londoners are priced out, they cannot afford to rent or buy in London and that's why many people are homeless.
I was born in this country, so are my family, and we're being treated like refugees basically. It's really disgusting.
We're looking to get whatever food we can and provide meals, we give people a lot more than just potatoes - freshly cooked and prepared meals and it's all free of charge.
That sounds really nice, if it weren't for the breaking and entering to squat in a famous fancy pub part.
Ramsay tried calling the police, but the squatters taped a notice to the door that reads:
'Take notice that we occupy this property and at all times there is at least one person in occupation,' the notice reads. 'That any entry or attempt to enter into these premises without our permission is therefore a criminal offence as any one of us who is in physical possession is opposed to such entry without our permission.'
The legal warning said the group will to take legal action against those who 'enter by violence' or 'threaten to enter by violence.'
The notice read, 'LASPO does NOT apply,' referring to the 2012 Legal Aid, Sentencing, and Punishment Offenders Act.
Under LASPO, occupying a non-residential building is not a crime.
Hence, the police told Ramsay it's a civil matter and will have to get worked out in the courts.
Knowing Gordon Ramsay's reputation, the police were met with more than a few choice words.
