SYNOPSIS:

'Dirty Squatters' is the screenplay adaptation of my ebook of the same name Synopsis: This is a true story; a factual and historical account of the lives of the countless thousands of people who came to London in the early 1980’s to begin new lives in Britain’s capital city. ‘Dirty Squatters’ is a dark, often desperate, comical, true story of underground life in Thatcher’s Britain. A tale of hope against the odds, and a journey into the lives being lived unseen by those who were too busy making ‘loadsamoney’ and dreaming only of ‘me, me, me’ during that era. These are the stories of those who survived the Thatcher years, and as a result are probably seen as ‘The last political generation’ in Britain. This story is a real-life account of squatter fortunes and misfortunes, a gritty and graphical tale spanning 17 exciting ‘homeless years’. This tale includes many factual references relating to the news of the day, the politics, the subculture, the drug culture, the music, the clubbing scene, the fashion, the attitudes and the television shows of those days. This is ‘the other’ untold story of Thatcher’s Britain, written in a narrative style, a unique story and a slice of the lives of those ‘Dirty, filthy, Squatters’. People who often by no choice of their own chose to occupy the multitude of unoccupied council properties spread liberally throughout inner London during the nineteen eighties and nineties.
