St. Georges Hill in Surrey was the site of the Digggers land ocupation – ‘a common treasury for all’ led by Gerard Winstanley. Well now squatters have taken over a house on the posh gated estate that sits on St.Georges Hill with its own golf course and private security. Tops. Whether the squatters know it or not they are following in the tradition and place of Winstanley. DIGGERS ALL – SQUATTERS ALL
‘A private estate that is home to a host of celebrities – including former Chelsea star Claude Makelele and Big Brother contestant Shilpa Shetty – is being taken over by a gang of squatters.
And well-heeled residents of the gated St George’s Hill community in Weybridge, Surrey, are being asked to be ‘vigilant’ following the arrival of their new neighbours.
Six squatters moved into the abandoned £3million, six-bedroom Woodlawn Cottage on the exclusive estate last month, and claim they are not acting illegally.’
