The rooftop occupation has now been going for 81 hours. Morale is high, support has been constant and much appreciated. Thank you. There are health and safety questions about Places for People barricading them up there. Any support, noise or provisions is very welcome! Come and say hello to the 87 crew, still going!
Residents and squatters together against corrupt landlords!
If you believe in what the banner says, wouldn't it be more useful to occupy the land in the middle of Eastville Park to prevent more destruction in the name of development, and force prosecution of those responsible for illegal tree felling.
Yes, the bitter end. There's only one point worth making and thats that we can take on the corrupt slum landlords, vampire suckers of our tax money and poverty parasites like PfP, and win.
How can we help? Is there any way we can get supplies, hot drinks, etc to you? Turned up today and saw you, but got shy, not sure if it was you or a bailiff. After a moment I yelled at you "nice one!" and buggered off as there didn't seem to be much I could do. It would be nice if you could tell us if there's anything simple and basic we can do to help. Don't give up - the f*ckers will crack yet!

Or am I being naive?

Everything else is gesture politics.
