Or is it rethink your tax?
Locals of Brentford, South West London, have decided enough is enough and call the bluff on Mp's Ann & Alan Keen, whose first home remains an empty builders shell whilst they live comfortably in their second home in nearby Kensington.
The reclaimation of what some say could be deemed common property after this years extensive expense scams, took place early in the morning of Saturday 27th June.
Squatters posted a section6 on the building, moved in and banners were made and unfurled from the windows to allow people the opportunity to see for themselves exactly what was taking place in their neighbourhood.
It's genuinely fascinating to see how, amidst such climate of dishonour and stealth from political and business realms, the country over sees working people unite in the urge to reclaim democracy.
If one message is to emerge from these times it may well be this - consider where your tax dollar goes and just how close we are to the thousands of people displaced by corrupt regiemes - democracy is earned, use it or lose it.
