  • Oh yes, I can see the MP for the town with the 6th highest concentration of rented properties in the country (20%) getting right behind Ms Butler.

    I'm wondering if she's the single mother she's making out to be. On her page it says:

    [FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Having been on her own for the 1st 8 months of her sons life she knows how isolating and hard being a Mum can be [/FONT]
    That page hasn't been updated since 21 May 2007. The kid's four years old now.

    Maybe he has a newborn and fancies getting a bit of baby massage for nothing in exchange for changing well rooted legal specifics.

    When he realises she is off back to spain/peru/wherever and won't be paying any council tax for the forseeable future and is never around to vote in the elections I'm sure he'll find somewhere better to be :rotfl:

    And an updated blog posting:
    Response to tonight's Comments
    I posted a blog a while ago about Squatter Rights, see here. Today for whatever reason it got another 30 views – and two more comments from ‘a tennent’ (no relation of David, he is spelt Tennant) and ‘David’. I’ve sent you both the link so, I hope you enjoy.


    Listen here KittyKats, you’re taking my blog far too seriously and giving it way more credit than it actually deserves. I don’t research the facts unless I’m really serious about it and generally I’m not that serious about something – so calm down, your making a show of yourselves icon_wink.gif

    These are generally my initial reaction to things I read / see, if you wish to correct me everytime that’s fine do it – the comments section will always welcome you both. Now cheer up, its a Friday night and you’re reading up about Squatters on my blog – shameful.

    And David, I kind of gathered she was an amateur landlord, I wouldn’t be blogging about an experience landlord – the woman would have been out before ITV News could have got there! And also the fact she’s a charity worker who had to let out her property indicates to me she isn’t wealthy enough to be a pro.

    One a final, enjoy your weekends!

    He's also claiming to know who made the first comment on that article

    At best I'll give him credit for knowing the service provider and the area code of the phone number
  • Suzy's latest is priceless:

    Suzy Carlita Butler Hi Andy!
    Hope you're having a good weekend. My time is limited and my child comes first..I don't have time to waste in trying to answer q's, which, if you have followed the story properly, have been answered already. It is Sunday. I will be ...spending it with family and not on the web. We will have a brief video update tom eve being put up and if anyone wants to ask sensible q's in a proper manner, I will answer them, but as I say, most of them are answered already. What exactly are your q's btw? As the above is full of accusations not q's!
    I don't see people on this page as my followers, but supporters of a worthy cause and I am proud and thankful of everyone who has taken the time to join and show their support, and of course, for backing me and helping me get home. To them and for that, I am eternally grateful and feel extremely lucky and blessed, thank you! Now, however, it is about helping and protecting others in a similar situation. It is sad that certain people find it so difficult to believe that there are simply good people in the world who are honest and don't have ulterior motives but actually, genuinely, care for others and want to create a fairer world! Keeping a little bit of your naivity alive and trusting people is not something I will ever give up, and it may mean I was and will be open to people taking advantage but at least it also means, I have many wonderful people surrounding me. I was not ignorant, I was simply trusting. As many of us normal folk are! It's a sad world if we can't be.
    Have a happy Sunday, hope you spend it with those you love.See More
