      Er, as Cockney points out I've really got no idea....

      But thanks, I do this assessment stuff for a living so I should be okay at it sometimes.

        This unquestioned assumption that criminalizing trespassing and squatting is bad certainly is interesting.

              AH, thank goodness, i was almost starting to think you were being serious

              DanS, it's all to do with english land law, i'm not sure i can explain it in simple terms (especially as i have to be up for work tomorrow!), so you're just going to have to take our word for it for now

                  Rather, I'll reserve judgment for now.

                    In every state of the United States, people have adverse possession rights, where if you squat on an abandoned property for long enough (and declare it to be your own property, etc, etc), the land becomes yours.

                    So you don't get criminally charged for the trespass or squatting after the land transfers to you.
                    “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
                    - John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

                        Sounds like Howard's trying to push through a 21st century adaptation of the enclosure acts

                        I think that if he is a true conservative he should be trying to "conserve" what commons England has left...

                        I only read British news rarely but from what I hear he's been aping about human rights legislation of late...

                        One note about Murdoch... he's not an uncompromising ideologue. He'll support anyone or thing that makes him money. Just look at how he broke into the Chinese market.

                        Murdoch's three represents: money, money, and money.

                          Howard has also suggested that the gun control laws 'go too far'.

                          ****.

                            ah yes he wanted to ease (or lift?) the ban on handguns... pure idiocy.

                                Well, actually I think they have gone a bit too far. When it gets to the stage where olympic shooters can't even practice...

                                But it's definitely not a vote winner except amongst a handful of voter.
