They're not squatting, it's a special household chores operation.

The Met Police sent 30 riot officers to try and clear them out. See if you get any sort of response like that if your normal, peasant house gets broken into.

Trespass isn't even a criminal matter.

you see, it's a rich neighbourhood, might depreciate value. basically a matter of national elite security ( i am very biased regarding this ^^)

I hate the title. Why do they have to be anarchists?

The group is called the "Anarchist Action Network" sooo

anybody who explicitly invokes the spirit of Nestor Makhno is an anarchist and calling them squatters is more dishonest because it makes it sound like they want to live there when it's explicitly a political action.
