In many countries, squatting in private or commercial properties is a grey legal area, with no laws directly prohibiting it – although in 2012, the Tory-LibDem Coalition of the UK ‘criminalised’ squatting in private residences. If entrance can be gained without ‘breaking and entering’, the act of squatting cannot usually be treated as ‘burglary’, particularly as ‘shelter’ and not ‘theft’ is the motivation of the occupiers (that often include family groups with children).
This barbarous act has had a tremendously negative effect upon the psychology of the Chinese community in London (and beyond), and is tantamount in experience to a racial attack, or a hate-crime, but as usual, the mainstream UK remains indifferent to a prominent section of its population.
