Squatter Misery
Discussion
Ageee it is a joke...
But what's been said above is true, you really think her mates force her to live in a tent in their garden rather than stay on the living room floor.
Should have just got someone to watch the flat, wait till she goes out then bash the door down and change the locks. That's what you get for being a lily livered liberal (notice her slip into borderline racist 'this is a civillised country' mode).
She needs to be friends with more people who look like Raoul Moat.

If you know the full story you'd know they are not squatters but tenants under an AST. Crap reporting.
Basically this Brighton woman rented out her house on an AST while she was living abroad. When she came back she tried to evict the tenant and her young daughter, then came to the gradual realization that she could not just turf them onto the streets at whim, or enter the property whenever she felt like it. Now she's gone to the papers, with lots of playing up on the fact that she is an honest-to-goodness British charity worker and the 'squatter' is a nasty forrun asylum seeker.

The 'full' story would indeed be useful - woman rents her house with an AST. Tenant loses money on 'stock exchange' and hasn't paid any rent for over three months. Owner wants house back as no rent paid. Tenant squats in house until evicted because as soon as she is evicted, the council are obliged to spend tax-payers money rehousing her ahead of the council house queue. Sounds a bit different with a few more facts thrown in.Basically this Brighton woman rented out her house on an AST while she was living abroad.

The fact is they are not squatters. They are behind in their rent and an amateur LL thought she could just turf them out.
Sadly she will need to go through the eviction process etc.. to get rid of them and get her house back. Jasandjules said:

No chance in hell you will ever see a Greek landlord etc go through a court !!
There are even little teams in London that take care of Squatters for a set fee.
All these contracts are a mess and cause so much aggro. No money ? goodbye

I thought you could evict someone for non-payment of rent (with 2 months notice) even under AST .. or maybe this is what the homeowner has done already in which case ITV News is short of news 
She should be grateful that the tenant doesn't look like the sort to trash the house ..
