Police and Baillifs evict the Square

Despite the fact that several people had started discussions with SOAS and UCL to negotiate possible multiple use of the Square, to incorporate the teacher training centre they want, with a Peace Centre run by activists, (using the smaller rooms), the police and baillifs broke in this morning to evict everyone.
There are reports that personal possessions not taken immediately, will be kept for a month? by the police, but this and more details need to be confirmed later on today.
It was not 'expected', and there was no organised resistance.
according to reports so far received, there were no arrests.

Squatters and autonomous social centres manage to supply very convincing arguments on the inability of anarchists to get along or organise effectively.

ok?

In the long term, you are all going to die anyway...
