The Rat Star Social Centre in Camberwell Green and the Offmarket in Clapton have been raided by the police since early morning. There are reports of several arrests at the Rat Star. The Community Project in Sipson ( Grow Heathrow ) has been raided, too.

Early this morning police raided all squatted houses at the ratstar social centre in Camberwell Green ( three or four houses ), there are reports that up to 20 people might have been arrested in Camberwell. It is unclear what the police is looking for inside the buildings, but have been seen bringinh out small items in plastic bags. Now, in the late afternoon, only police is left in the buildings, with about 15 police vans parking outside.

At the same time offmarket social centre in Hackney got raided with one person arrested, but has already re-opened. The police also raided a community garden project at Sipson, Heathrow, but left without taking any stuff.

It seems obvious that the raids are related to the royal wedding tomorrow and the media scare stories of the last weeks, despite the police claiming that it is unrelated.
