The Mail does actually deserve a little praise for this one, it is a genuinely compelling human interest story. The hypocrisy, however, becomes very apparent when you hit the comments section:
Ex-concert pianist who has lived under a hedge in a car park in affluent London borough for ten years is furious after shelter is removed by 'wanton and wicked' councilhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... elter.html- Anne Naysmith, 75, has survived at side of station for the last decade
- Once tipped as star pianist but life collapsed after heartbreak in 1970s
- Lived in her car for 20 years like Miss Shepherd in Alan Bennett play

I'm glad to see the Mail readers so eager to support people who roam the land, erecting structures on land they don't own without planning permission. Comments are unmoderated, too.
