The squatters – Autonomous Nation of Anarchist Libertarians, known as Anal – said they had entered through an open window on 23 January. Tom Fox, 23, one of the squatters, said: “It is criminal that there are so many homeless people and at the same time so many empty buildings. Our occupation is highlighting this injustice.”
A spokesman from Advisory Service for Squatters, which produces a handbook for squatters, said: “ASS supports the requisitioning of empty property to house homeless people and for other social uses. Squatting in non-residential property is not a criminal offence. Squatting in residential property was made a criminal offence in 2012. Street homelessness is rising rapidly. Squatting is still a temporary but necessary solution for people.”
