Greedy Residents in Stoke Newington

Good to see a colourful response to greed of Carysfort Road residents.

Continuing from my article on Monday I would like to say thanks for responses...It is nice to know that other people are willing to input on this situation. It is also refreshing to see that artists are willing to put time and effort into speaking out at this greed. Walking to school this morning I noticed some very colourful statements at the start of Carysfort road and hope that the residents who helped themselves to the nature reserve at Betty Layward school had a chance to notice it on the way to work this morning. It would be great to see more of this stuff up as if anything it makes everyone aware of the fact that they have gotten away with theft, only because or their class status. I, however, will be making up some leaflets and flyers, as sugested in comment to last article, and will be sugesting a renovation regime once the land is cut up...This will most certainly have to involve a substantial amount of fresh manure spread on the area of partition. The best time to lay it would probably be at the beginning of a weekend, bank holidays are good too. Hopefully the smell won't disturb any weekend engagements lined up by our wealthy land owners!! I would also be most obliged to receive any other suggestions and if anybody knows how I stand legally if I perhaps decide to go and camp up in there and take the strip of land back...It would be nice to be a pain in the arse for a while. Watch this Space!

Your report doesn't contain any:
what?
where?
when?
nor context or background, etc.
Therefore, it's almost useless
to people in places farther away.

Yeah, but it makes sense to the locals

Indymedia is both for local and international news.

The report here may not be of use to international surfers, but the context of this posting is well known in North London.

The anger of the correspondent and her willl to act against this enclosure resonates with many.

well its typical stoke newington/ new hackney isnt it... most of the people who benefitted probably think of themselves as "Green" and liberal lefty types and would hate to be seen as the snug greedy snobs that they really are, the really sad thing apart from this is that the council gave the land to them and paid their legal fees.. i dont think they had even asked this much of the council
