Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is facing a nightmarish scenario where squatters are posted up in one of his multi-million dollar properties.
Ramsay has reportedly called the police, who have done nothing to help Ramsay—noting the squatter’s ‘rights’ in this ridiculous situation.
This type of incident is sadly becoming all too common across Western countries, and it is a sign of the times.
We live in an age where the thieves, the brigands, and the parasites are all protected under the letter of the law while decent, hardworking people are left without any legal recourse. Ian Miles Cheong remarked:
“The far-left collective, who call themselves Camden Art Cafe, say they have turned the property into an “autonomous” zone, akin to Seattle’s CHAZ and George Floyd Square in Minnesota, both of which were taken over by squatters who drove out the people living there.
Welcome to living in a liberal city, I guess, where communists can just move into your business and take it over and you aren’t allowed to evict them.”
A far-left squatters collective has taken up squatting in Gordon Ramsay’s London pub, and police are refusing to remove them as they claim it is a “civil matter.”

BBC News provided coverage from the scene:
BBC reporter Alison Earle, who is at the scene, said a notice asking for food and donations had been ripped down.
Two accounts on Instagram called the Camden Art Cafe and Autonomous Winter Shelter have posted about a “new squatted community space” at the York & Albany hotel.
One individual provided partial text from the notice the squatters left to Ramsay:
“Take notice that we occupy this property and at all times there is at least one person in occupation.
That if you attempt to enter by violence or by threatening violence we will prosecute you … You may receive a sentence of up to six months imprisonment and/or a fine of up to £5,000.”
JUST IN: Gordon Ramsay’s $16.1 million London pub has been invaded by squatters, barricading themselves with his own kitchenware.
The pub, poised for a multi-million dollar lease, is now the squatters' 'home sweet home.'

Squatters have taken over one of @GordonRamsay locations and let's just say he's not pleased. How can we turn this into a reality show where he just goes off on them?https://t.co/XGMN5MZVzp

Fox News had more on the troubling incident:
At least six freeloaders broke into Ramsay’s York and Albany hotel and gastropub, which is for sale for $16.1 million, boarded up the windows, locked the door with kitchen utensils and glued the locks.
