This would make the job of evicting the sub-humans from their so-called &#8216;homes&#8217; a lot easier; it would have the added advantage of warehousing the poors in forms of accommodation befitting their social status &#8212; slums &#8212; while at the same time allow hardworking businessman to better enjoy the fruits of their back-breaking labour &#8212; say, by buying <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theage.com.au\/national\/slumlords-bought-100000-powerboat-20090620-cryw.html\">a luxury powerboat<\/a>, or something. This expenditure would, in turn, greatly assist The Economy, which from all accounts has been feeling a little down recently. Even better, a serious crackdown on squatting in Great Britain would not require the genocidal conquest of an entire continent &#8212; a task which, despite over two centuries of hard yakka, is still not complete.
