        <description><![CDATA[How would you like to go on holiday and come back to find out that your home has been invaded by squatters?  This has happened, and it's about time the British government did something about it.  This is what you get when you have a welfare state that penalizes the hard-working, productive class for the sake of a bunch of n'er do-wells who don't want to work and who live off the labor of others.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[(Wait, I thought the US was the only modern western country with a homeless problem and that other modern progressive states didn't; was I lied to again?)It's not just an economic failure.  It's a spiritual failure.  It's now possible to live what we'd call a middle-class lifestyle in the UK entirely on the dole.  But these &quot;artists, performers and poets&quot; aren't even interested in that; they'd rather squat in cities than live a more &quot;boring&quot; existence somewhere else where perhaps they could get actual employment.And property owners must go to court to evict squatters?  Another fine example of the police state existing mainly to protect the criminal.It's also an example of how a state that cannot protect even basic property rights is worse than useless.]]></description>
