Neighbours form human chain around a mum’s house in Bristol to stop eviction

[editor]

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

A woman facing ‘revenge eviction’ has been given a lifeline after her neighbours gathered to form a human chain around her home.

Nimo Abdullahi, 39, claimed her landlord tried to kick her and her five children out of their home after she complained about the rising damp.

But neighbours and campaigners turned out in force to stop bailiffs from forcing the family out of their home in Easton, Bristol.

A newlywed couple living opposite even cut up their wedding cake for all the protesters.

When the bailiffs arrived on Tuesday morning, they were unable to get past the 30 protesters who stood strong.

Nevermind evicting the tenant the landlord should be strung up by the balls for failing to maintain the property.

I'm quite moved by this. Gone a long way to restoring my faith in humanity. Well done all involved.

good on them, that's "people power" - how about the landlord does one and/or repairs the property ?

Excellent. Reminds me of Mrs Barbour's Army.
