Responding to the threatened eviction of the Hackney Social Centre people turned up prepared to resist. Those inside the centre climbed on the roof and raised the black flag as well as dropping a number of banners.

Roof Occupiers
Peek-a-boo
Outside
Spirits were high, tea was drunk, and someone made beans on toast. Reactions from passsers by were mixed, one person blamed the tube not working on weekends on 'people like you', others shook hands, and many read the leaflets that were being handed out. After sitting around for probably 3 hours news filtered through that some bailiffs had been and said they would be back at some point before Friday. Soon after this there was word that the police were outside the Wominspace so we all bailed down there to check it out. The cops had left when we got there so there was more tea and some bike fixing.
The Hackney Social Centre is still under threat, it now looks like the bailiffs could turn up at any time so be ready I guess
