Devlish | 08.03.2004 10:51 | Free Spaces | Repression | Social Struggles | London

10.32 AM, As I write Hackney Council workers have arrived at Whiston Road on the Kingsland Estate to illegally evict dwellers living in ten flats, without applying to the local magistrates court. The police are expected to arrive at any minute to enforce this unlawful proceedure. The dwellers need support to resist this illegal eviction!

There are four or five council vans and cars outside the flats.

Barracade Right Now

08.03.2004 12:09

What you waiting for Hackney Council Workers are there ready to start evicting you, so why don't you contact Tony Martin from Moss & Co (He's the business on Housing Law)Start Barracading yourselves in for the moment until people arrive to form a block. Those properties are due for demolition so fucking developers can buy it all up on the cheap from corrupt Hackney Council then build so called luxury homes for the yuppie scum from the city, none of what will be built there will be for any working class resident of Hackney. START BARRACADING NOW!!! These workers from Hackney Council may not actully be council workers but private contract workers employed under contract to Hackney Council..

Who's Breaking The Law Now Then You Police Scum & Council Tossers

08.03.2004 12:54

The Cops and Hackney Council are doing this without any court order, it's illegal, they the council and the cops are using the excuse that they are closing down crack houses so they can evict squatters from the Kingsland Estate, those occupying those properties are not crack heads or dealers and none of those properties are crack houses, there all fucking wankers especially the cops there never there when you really need them, they just go about harrassing those who are in need of a place to live. Hackney Council and all their housing bosses are the most fucking stupid cunts inm Hackney especially Steven Tucker (Director of Housing) If he had any brains he'd start getting these people to pay rent then this council would'nt be in such a fucking mess in the first place, why dont they go after the bastards who sub-let there homes as these wankers obviously dont need a place to live, they abuse the housing system yet Hackney Council instead of checking they inform those doing it by sending out letters "Fucking Stupid Cunts" There are loads of one bedroomed properties around the borough yet the council claim they need these for families "Yeh Right Nothing Wrong With A Bit Of Overcrowding" If we have a bunch of misfits running our services we pay for then we want proper services and not empty homes.

RED ACTION


Confront Steven Tucker/Councillor Jamie Carswell on March 10th

08.03.2004 13:08

A message to all squatters and activists, the Director of Housing (Hackney Council) and his cronies will be at the Summit Estate Community Hall on Wednesday March 10th from 6.00pm onwards should anyone wish to come along and have their say on how these Council officials operate outside the law. Directions to Summit Estate are 253 or 254 from Mare Street to the Swan Pub Upper Clapton/Clapton Common. Summit Estate is next door to the Swan Pub. Any bus to Stamford Hill 149, 67, 76, 476, 73, 243 walk down past Netto's towards the common Summit Estate is on the right hand side by Portland Avenue. I'll be there to, upset the couple of Trot wankers on the Tenants and Residents Association who do fuck all for the tenants on this estate, hope to see you all there....

Have It Out With Steven Tucker/ Jamie Carswell On March 10th

08.03.2004 13:33

On Wednesday 10th March the Director of Hackney Housing will be at Summit Estate Community Hall, Summit Estate, Portland Avenue, N16. From 6.00pm Housing Officials will be at the community hall including Jamie Carswell the Labour councillor and Mayor Jules Pipes sidekick who sits on the housing committee and is responsible for the action being taken today on the Kingsland Estate, Haggeston and other estates nearby are to follow with mass evictions in due course and the excuse being made for these evictions is that they are closing down crack houses. What these police and council officials want people to believe is that all squatters are drug dealers, lets hope the I.W.C.A. will get together and act on behalf of the squatters as well as other organisations to stop the illegal evictions....
