UK Judge Encourages Squatters, Wants List of Empty Homes

I try to pay attention to what is going on in the United Kingdom, as much of our political inheritance (Magna Carta, common law, etc.) comes from the home country.  So this story from the UK's Daily Mail comes as a mild shock,

"Squatters should be encouraged because they bring empty homes back into use, a judge said yesterday....She ordered a list of empty homes in North London to be made public to the Advisory Service for Squatters, an East London-based organisation known as the ‘estate agency for squatters’."

So much for property rights.
