Eviction Resisted at Lewisham Bridge School

Up to 100 people gathered at the occupied Lewisham Bridge School this morning to stop today’s eviction scheduled for 10:30am.




A youthful and lively contingent joined local parents on the roof whilst local supporters gathered outside the front of the school. The mood remained positive, despite a strong police presence including a helicopter earlier in the day.

Bailiffs entered the school but made no attempt to gain access to the roof where the tents stayed up and the occupation continued.

Police left at around 12:30 with most of the bailiffs leaving shortly after. Although a couple of bailiffs did remain, it seems that for now the occupation continues.

Can't activists find better communications channels than fucking Facebook? I don't have an account & most of the people I know don't have accounts for what should be obvious reasons. Think about it.

the people occupying the school aren't 'activists', they are ordinary folk who've been pushed into action by being fucked over by lewisham council

you might want to get your head out of your arse and engage with real issues that affect folk outside of the activist ghetto rather than sniping about how they choose to publicise their campaigns
