SPOIL THE DALSTON CLASS CLEANSING PARTY!
PUNISH INSTITUTIONAL ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR!
Gillett Street, Dalston, November 10, 3pm sharp!

Next Friday (November 10) at 3pm Ken Livingstone and Hackney Mayor Jules Pipe are planning 'fanfare and speeches' in celebration of the purge of traders and
locals from Dalston's Gillett Street Market to make way for 'a European-style piazza', i.e. yuppie bars with outdoor tables.
(You know Gillett Street, it's that caged area off Kingsland High Street with the sign saying 'one of the mayor of London's 1,000 open spaces').
The purge meant instant loss of livelihood for the street traders, and loss of free social space for everyone else: just another stage of the evacuation of the poor
from the area to make room for bigger spenders. What Pipe and Livingstone are celebrating is more than just their ugly 'Piazza', it's
THE CLASS CLEANSING OF HACKNEY, in all its forms:
mass sell-off of council housing and building of yuppie lofts; neglect of council flats in order to blackmail tenants to accept stock transfer to private sector;
imminent rent explosion with the Olympics and Hackney tube; Dalston Lane evictions and demolition; corrupt cut-price sale of local shops to offshore developers
while organic gastro-pubs proliferate, etc etc etc.

Their efforts to expel us are doomed to failure and yet more bankruptcy, but right now
THIS INSITUTIONAL ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR MUST BE PUNISHED!!!

JULES PIPE'S PARTY WILL BE SPOILED ON FRIDAY, BECAUSE LOW-INCOME LIFE WILL NOT BE CLEANSED FROM HACKNEY'S HOUSING AND STREETS!
