Twitter enthusiast and Queens Park Rangers midfielder Joey Barton vented his anger online as a gang of unruly squatters allegedly broke into his family home and set up camp, before promptly changing the locks.

The London house is currently being renovated for partner Georgia McNeil, son Cassius and the Bartonator but it seems that there may have been some unwanted “heroin riddled” guests.

Big Issue writer Barton wished the alleged addicts well on their way to recovery though, hoping that they were “f*cking fast runners”, noting they were “#jammybastards” and momentarily wondering if he should treat them to some animal companionship.

See how the story unfolded below:

Just heard the news some squatters had broken into my house last night and changed the locks. The cheeky bastards…..

Didn’t think squatters could break in? Anyone know the law regarding these creatures?

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) March 14, 2012

Who ever they are, I hope their f*cking fast runners…… #squattersrightsmyarse

Surely if they break in, that means their burglars?

House was secured and locked, all correct hoarding up outside as well. They have left already I think. What a set of cheeky f*ckers though?

@robertowats7 its so obvious that it’s a house I’ve bought to live in, not my actual house right now.

For sheer audacity, I have to give them 10/10. Luckily for them, I’m trying to give up violence…..#jammybastards

I wish I was joking about squatters, I’m not. Hope they’re still there when the builders start knocking walls down tomo…..

Might go to nearest pet shop and purchase 20 tarantulas, 20 snakes and as many rat as I can get my hands on, pop them through letter box…

…then we’ll see who the clever one is. Be warned Squatters….ur time is up.

Re-thought my plan, usually these folk are animals lovers. Just a bar of soap and some deodorant, should be enough. #smellybuggers

Cause it’s a building site now, they have no squatters rights. Thankfully they have gone now, so I’ve heard. Heroin addicts aswell #rats

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) March 14, 2012

Squatter issue over and fully sorted. What a firm of cheeky, heroin riddled barstewards they were. Thankfully they sh*t it and left #muppets

@marxroadrunner not homeless ppl, drug addicts. Even if ur homeless, doesn’t mean ur allowed to break into someone else’s property does it?

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) March 14, 2012
