Gordon
Ramsey’s
PR
department
does
a
great
job
with
his
public
image:
his
aggressive
interactions
with
would-be
chefs
is
perfectly
offset
by
his
kind
and
encouraging
demeanor
toward
children
getting
their
start
in
fine
dining.
The
department
he
seems
to
be
lacking
in
is
legal
—
he
might
not
have
a
$16M
squatters
dispute
if
he
had
some
real
estate
attorneys
on
the
situation.
From
Business
Insider:
Squatters
have
taken
over
one
of
Gordon
Ramsay’s
restaurants
in
London,
saying
they
aim
to
create
a
“community
space”
for
everyone
in
one
of
the
city’s
wealthiest
areas.At
least
six
people
have
taken
up
residence
in
York
&
Albany,
an
eatery
and
hotel
in
Camden
Town,
The
Sun
and
BBC
reported.York
&
Albany
was
temporarily
closed
while
the
celebrity
chef
finalized
a
new
lease,
The
Sun
reported…The
news
outlets
reported
that
the
group
had
locked
themselves
inside,
boarded
up
the
windows,
and
threatened
legal
action
against
anyone
who
attempted
to
remove
them.
Ramsay
has
threatened
legal
action
in
response
to
the
squatters,
which
is
far
less
aggressive
than
how
he
treats
undercooked
salmon:
A
strong
legal
team
arriving
late
is
better
than
never
arriving
at
all,
after
serving
the
squatters
papers
their
plans
to
hi-jack
the
pub
into
a
soup
kitchen
seem
to
be
thwarted.
From
Daily
Mail:
[I]n
a
post
on
their
profile,
the
masked
activists
–
who
ran
away
from
reporters
at
the
weekend
–
say
they
have
been
served
with
papers
and
have
had
to
cancel
their
opening
today.The
statement
reads:
‘Apologies
to
everyone
who
was
going
to
come
along
today.
Papers
served,
cafe
cancelled!’
Nice
while
it
lasted.
Some
advice
to
Ramsey:
may
be
worth
it
to
invest
in
some
security
guards.
