Squatter blocked in empty farm with rotting animal food as angry locals take action over 'land pirate'

A squatter who has described himself as a "land pirate" has been blocked in an empty farm due to rotting animal food. Former nurse Neil Parker moved on to a farm which he insists was "abandoned" a year ago.

Since then, he has been locked in a battle with locals in Ceredigion, Wales, who claim he shouldn't be there. One family insists they have staked a claim on his new home with some extreme measures take against the 60-year-old, reports the Mirror.

One aggrieved resident was said to have moved Neil's car, his caravan and blocked access to the supposedly derelict property with 20 bales of raw silage - pickled pasture grass used as food for farm animals. And the tension between Neil and the residents appears to be escalating further.
