at 6 this morning police turned out in force evict the squatted flats on kentish town high street

at six this morning cops turned out in force to evict the resistance eviction squat in kentish town. there was a variety of riots cops with short and long shields and there was some weirdo absailing down the building type cops. there was also the FIT (forward intelligence team) in full effect who were busy taking peoples photos and asking people if they were involved in any protest groups.

This action by the pigs in defence of some bullshit housing association who want to build yuppie flats has left up to 30 people homeless. The operation also cost at least £20,000.

The squat was opened for over 7 months and has existed with the barricades up for just over 3 months.

The squatters have been forcibly moved but will just resquat another building, the struggle against the rent system continues.

we are still hating cops, baliiffs and other agents of the babylon

direct action against capitalism

resist every eviction squat or rot
