Fascist pub Gloucester Arms Camden - any news? Is nazi John Coyne still there?

The Gloucester Arms was targeted by anarchists and anti racists for hosting the neo nazi Jobbik Party meetings in the pub and some sort of spat between the IRA and the UDA, rows with local council tenants, residents campaigns, mothers etc.
Does anyone have any latest news as to whether he has in fact been evicted or just warned by the police and council over noise, nonces and nazis in the pub?

He had a number of illegal tenants who have been evicted.

The pub is quiet for now but residents are wondering if the landlord Coyne is actually still there and we want to know who is taking over the pub? We don't want any fights where kiddies might be walking past and we want this scumbag out of Camden and Kentish Town.

Does anyone have any info?

The Gloucester Arms is still owned by John Coyne, "under new management"

The pub has been closed for a week, following vandalism and the destruction of windows. In the past couple of days plant pots have been smashed and soil strewn across the front of the pub.

The pub has submitted a new license application and is "under new management" but is still owned by Coyne who caused all the problems in the first place.

Camden Council have not revoked their license despite pleas from desperate residents and anti racist groups.

i used to go there

I used to go there regularly with my mates (underage) and i never knew this was happening! I was shocked whilst reading this, and if i had known there would have been no way I would have gone! Good to see the old ANTIFA still taking some action, the pub is still probably up and running, shame I didnt get to see you guys in action - but watch out there can be some rough kids in the pub sometimes, so do try and avoid fights with them. Best of luck, a friend.

Some are saying the landlord is being removed by the brewery and others [from the license dept] are saying they have not heard a thing.
Until; we have definate confirmation we are still campaigning against the pub.

Coyne has been evicted, innocent tenants occupying pub and waiting for homes

Coyne has been chucked out of the pub by the police and the brewery.

Tenants who were living upstairs are waiting for emergency housing from Camden council.
