There is nothing like a tent to seriously get up the noses of the property developers who think that they have a God-given right to cream off the biggest chunk of the welfare budget in charging massive private rents.

Living for free on common land must surely be seen as stealing from the rich property owners, a bit like the poor in the middle ages being hung for poaching rabbits - as an aside I wonder if that is where the expression better to be hung for a sheep rather than a lamb come from?

Maybe the less wealthy should be content to sleeping ten in a room - think of all the HB the property owners would get for that, and of course the right would point their fingers at those living in overcrowded conditions as being benefit scroungers.
