[matilda] Re: Comrade Temp - Accomodation !

[R&A]

James himself will be reading this, wont' he?
There is a difference, i meant, between living (only the LLT has a right 
to live at the place) and staying as a guest (the LLT probably has the 
legal right to invite his friends, family, etc. to stay with him, at his 
home 111 matilda street). Then, this James is registered as living 
somewhere else, i mean registered as when you need to open a bank 
account, the bank needs some letters showing your current address to do 
that... There are many factors involved, including how long is a "crash 
in" meant to be. Yet, the LLT has not given his opinion (does not read 
emails). Perhaps James could ask the LLT personally and privately. Then 
that decision perhaps would not collide with the group's, and we will be 
helping someone in need (which was one of Matilda's purposes).
It's very difficult to make any decision without the persons involved.

I never meant that matilda could be used as a squatting place, but if 
Mark invited his mother, say, for a fortnight, would you say that she 
was squatting at matilda?
