All London Squatters meeting at Made Possible by Squatting

 

Calling All London Squatters

WHEN HOUSING IS A LUXURY

SQUATTING IS A NECESSITY.

Made Possible by Squatting will be holding an All London Squatters meeting on Sunday 15th September from 2pm-6pm, to talk about strengthening our networks 1 year since the residential squat-ban and what we can do together in the event of a possible further criminalisation in the future. T.B.C: Guest speakers from the Netherlands, France and Spain about the squat-scenes there, and how people still squat in different legal landscapes. What are our options, what are we going to do? Let's talk about it, and take action!

 

WHATEVER THEY SAY,

SQUATTING WILL STAY!

Roof occupation at Brighton squat over new law + 3 arrests

The first known arrests over new squatting law happened about an hour ago by squatters occupying a comercial property, who were using the upstairs residential area as an un-lived in social centre.

The police turned up this morning at around 11am to raid the property on London Road in Brighton, despite no crime being committed - as the new law restricts people living in unoccupied buildings, but not visiting them. Regardless, Sussex police have now arrested three people who attached themselves with glue, spending three hours to enter through barricades to remove them.

One of the visitors now on the roof of the squat said "On the roof init! Clowns got in but its gonna take them ages!" at 2pm, hours before three people were arrested inside the residential part of the building, despite not squatting the residential property.

The two roof top occupiers say they are up there to stay, as cops miserably fail to negotiate a deal with them. Support is currently gathering, but if you are free to pop down and say hello it'd be appreciated!
