Joey Barton hurls abuses at squatters for breaking into his house

London, Mar 15 (ANI): Joey Barton, who reportedly had squatters break into his house and change the locks while he was away with his partner, has launched a foul-mouthed rant at them.

The Queens Park Rangers midfielder took to Twitter to slam the people he claims took over the home he shares with Georgia McNeil.

"Just heard the news some squatters had broken into my house last night and changed the locks. The cheeky b*******....." , the Daily Mail quoted Barton as writing.

"Didn't think squatters could break in? Anyone know the law regarding these creatures? Who ever they are, I hope their f****** fast runners.....

"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****** though?" he said.

Barton, 29, even praised their ingenuity and confidence to break into houses.

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

"What's with this London place, no one squats up north. U'd just get t****** for even trying that s***. #southernsofties.

"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," he wrote.

But then he retweeted that he will use other methods to get rid of them.

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

"Cause it's a building site now, they have no squatters rights. Thankfully they have gone now, so I've heard. Heroin addicts as well.

"Squatter issue over and fully sorted. What a firm of cheeky, heroin riddled barstewards they were. Thankfully they s**t it and left #muppets.'

Barton's girlfriend McNeil, with whom he has a young child called Cassius - also vented her anger on Twitter.

"Just learnt squatters had moved into our new house last night and changed locks....outrageous! I'm absolutely fuming . How dare they! #scum.

"What makes these ppl think they can move into someone else's property and change the locks?!" she wrote. (ANI)
