Cottage Social centre eviction (in pictures)

Well our intrepid urban warriors were evicted from what will become yet another shameful fall of our only remaining local social centres. Shame on you Birmingham City Council!

Save the Cottage Social Centre!

Ahh! Removing those ghastly squatters! For a safer, more friendly environment :D

Not that anyone really wants to see post evictions but this is important- especially just to get a glimpse of the irony of what is printed on the side of Orbis' (those lovely kiddy-friendly anti-squatter contractors ;-) ) vans hahaha!

Nice one Birmingham!

I suppose we will have to swallow that vile aromatherapy from SureStart after all? Bummer :(

Heartfelt Comiserations

My heartfelt comiserations go out to the collective and to the communities of Sparkbrook and Highgate. Also, my apologies for having not visited you since leaving for the climate camp, I'm afraid I haven't returned to Birmingham since. Were the computers, books and other equipment successfully retrieved?

I am confident that this will not be the last attempt to reclaim space on behalf of the collective.

Best Wishes to all, except Birmingham Shitty Council.

Aye, fortunately most of that stuff was shipped out the previous night, and we retrieved the rest of it while they were kicking us out.

Ah well, here's to next time!

Hope to see ya soon Matt.
