Monday 22nd Sept - 7.30pm The BNP are standing 2 candidates in local by-elections (Camden - 25 Sept, and Haringey - 9 Oct) in the near future. This escalation in their activities in central London shows a disturbing trend both in their growing political confidence but also in the fact that can go about their business unhindered. The question is should there be a co-ordinated London response to this situation, and if so what form does that response take? | ||

Today Spirit lost his court case and will be evicted by a Bhamanian-based property speculator that Hackney Council sold the lease of his shop to for less than he was willing to pay for it himself. After years of working like a dog to pay off the extortionate rent they have been demanding, Spirit is (as I write) emptying the shop of his produce, for the sake of £7,000 legal costs that the magistrate refused to let him repay in instalments; while around him the gentrified pubs and art galleries spill onto the street carousing as if tomorrow belongs to them (and only them) ...

Jules Pipe (Mayor of Hackney) said that if you opposed developments like the Dalston Square then you were part of a 'keep Hackney crap mentality'. But Hackney isn't crap. Not even close. It doesn't need property speculators to make it a nice place. Don't take our word for it - come and see for yourself. On Sunday 28 September we will host a walking tour of Gentrification in Dalston and Hackney central, culminating in a picnic in London Fields. | ||
