In pictures: Life in a squat

Jan does not claim benefits and describes himself as a micro-entrepreneur.

"Some anarchists are really radical and don’t want money, but they are on the dole. I say, 'How can you do that when you are supposed to be an anarchist?' But those people are in the minority.

"I do this work here, in the squat, because that’s the way it is. I could go for funding but there is so much bureaucracy. I don’t want to get too tied up with liabilities and the state."
