To think this woman claiming to have not paid utilities for 9 years is off her rocker?

[coldestfeetever]

I follow a pretty avid anti-vax and anti-masker on Instagram for shits and giggles. But her latest post is more obscure than most. She claims she hasn't paid utilities in nine years! She claims she'll upload a video explaining it but I've not seen it yet. I assume since she rents her landlord pays?

Sounds like it's going to be Freeman on the Land twaddle.

Oh god I have an extended member of family who’s into ‘the government doesn’t own me and if you have a name they own you’.

I honestly have no idea. But I reckon if my FM spent half as much time researching how to be ‘free’ he could have paid off a mortgage, bills and give his kids a half decent childhood.

Yup, I thought the same thing.

I know who you're referring to. She's deluded and dangerous.

My guess is she either has an all inclusive rent or parents help out. There's no way in gods green earth she'd be in any property, rented or otherwise, and use utilities freely without paying for them.

It. Just. Doesn't. Happen.

I saw this and her video explaining how. She's said some stuff to leave me speechless but somehow this video absolutely shocked me. She has her own form of flawed logic for most things. But the logic in this one was insane. As if she would be able to keep her hone warm in any other way as though she could harvest her own gas and electric in any way. Unreal

That's definitely Freeman on the Land bullshit.

I also have an extended family member who is into this. They've never met a conspiracy theory they didn't buy into. Sadly, it's mostly because they've fucked their brain up with drugs.

If no one paid for their utilities the companies which provide them would go out of business, and we could all be free to cook over open fires and go to be when the sun sets. Awesome! Count me in

Yep 100% Freeman on the Land bollocks. The waffle about contracts and names gives it away.

Freeman on the Land nonsense. She’s probably legally classed as a squatter, if she has no contracts for anything.Great way to live your life.

Geez what a nutter. I agree, if nobody paid then we'd have no utilities.

Unfortunately, she's a good speaker and very pretty - so she's gained a big insta following. Including me, so I assume some others watch for the entertainment too.

I googled "Freeman on the Land" and I'm . Absolute butters.

I don't know who she is and you've tickled my curiosity please can someone pm me? I promise I won't believe her nonsense I've just googled the Freeman things and I'm fascinated

So basically, don't tell anyone if there's anyone living there and if they do come across you, don't tell them your name or deny you live at the address.

Right.

Theft, then.

I had a similar issue, but I believe my landlord paid.
He was a rubbish landlord, and didnt follow "the rules"
When we signed up for our lease, we were told there 2 categories for utility Bills.

1. You as a tenant select your own supplier and pay your own bill.

This is what most people do. They can select a good deal or favoured supplier.

1. The landlord refuses to let you change supplier/tells you who you have to use. Then the landlord is responsible for the bill.

We were supposed to be in the first group. But dozy ll refused to let us choose. S9 he had to stump up for the bill.

My bf father doesn’t pay utilities... he’s supplied with a independence flat in a housing association building- he’s registered disabled.
They Bill him, he doesn’t pay it. They don’t cut off because it would be in humane to leave him without the means to survive.
He has a cash card that he puts money onto towards the debt- £5 a month- this keeps them off his back enough seeing as the debt is being ‘paid’

My sister moved in to her house a couple of years ago and had a nightmare getting set up with a gas provider. They said she wasn't hooked up for gas. She was cooking on her gas stove at the time 😂 has gas powered central heating etc. In her block of 70 houses, only about 7 are registered with gas suppliers. The houses are about 20 years old. So they're all getting free gas! My sister isn't, she chose to be honest and pays for hers.

My in laws are on a water meter but their barn water supply is not.

Maybe it's something like that? Or maybe something a bit weirder given what you've already said...

It could well be something like that, but she'd twist it in a way so that she's 'socking it to the man'.

What?! I need to know who this person is, for no other reason than I am a nosey bugger

Ooo I love a Freeman on the land thread. The mind blowing arrogance and ignorance. Remember the long running thread, it was just ...bloody hell.

@GrapefruitGin you are not nosey - you are a researcher

@mumwon yes you’re right, I’m a researcher

This is more or less unrelated to the freeman conspiracy stuff etc but quite a few shops on my high street were getting their electricity for free from lead coated wires.
They just hadn't been updated in ages.

Electricians mentioned it to me because they realised part of my house's electricity was supplied with the same kind of wire until they removed it.

I too need to research this person can someone point me to her user name on Instagram please

I'd love to know who this is too! I think this sounds like a similar thing that someone I have the misfortune to know was harping on about. I'm on the mobile app so I can't make your picture big enough to read.

I know this completely misses the point of the thread and will probably get me a flaming but one of my pet hates is the use of ‘electric’ as a noun. It’s electricity!

If I find out who this is, I solemnly swear to pass information to my fellow researchers
