UPDATE 3RD JANUARY 2006
There was more media coverage of the community occupation in defence of Tony's cafe today: ITV London Tonight; The Evening Standard (again); RAI (Italian national TV news); and, forthcoming, The Hackney Gazette and The Guardian.

Re-eviction is imminent, however, so if you can make it down here to show your support anytime after 5am tomorrow morning, we'd appreciate it. It's not 100% it will happen tomorrow but the bailiffs have their orders now. If you can make it, please come down.

TV crews will be there from RAI and the BBC, as well as film makers and other journalists.

We will call the Health & Safety Executive as soon as there's any sign of demolition commencing – though perhaps this time Wratten will show his employees, passers by, and his tenants in the neighbouring flats the basic courtesy of following a few safety procedures. If not, the HSE will be informed immediately.
