Unfortunately we've been evicted after this weekend following an agreement t with the owners (and a huge party 
) but after the down fall, burning out and eventual redevelopment into posh ass flats from the original Bristol Free Shop it's wicked to be reviving the scene and getting shit done, yeahhhh muthafuckas!
The article got my friends names all totally wrong (lol) but still some posi feedback finally is what we need. Big up Bristol crew!!

A couple of Bristol squatters say they are working hard to change people's prejudices on their lifestyle - by giving away free goods from their current home.
Felix, Rob and Ben, all 22, moved into a building on Stokes Croft this month.
After coming to an agreement with the owners, they can now stay there for just over one month.
But since Saturday, they have set up a "free shop" – where people can come and donate unwanted goods and pick up anything that catches their eye for free too.
Felix, 22, originally from Oxford, said: "We want to change the way people look at squatters. Not all squatters are bad. Some of us are keen on doing something good for the community.
"Someone takes something and they may feel guilty so they donate something back.
"People have been donating left, right and centre, it has been fantastic.
"It has put smiles on many people's faces."
The "free shop" runs completely on donations from the public.
So far, over 100 people have come in and out the door since it opened.
Items ranging from turntables, speakers, books, clothes, DVDs and general bric-a-brac are available for people to pick up for free.
The shop will close at the end of May.
