Reclaim Brixton: Foxtons estate agents in Brixton gets windows smashed
 
Just back home. What a great day! I hope we see more of the same over summer - brilliant work by those who organised it. The kids and I took part in the human chain around the arches and whilst we did this, organisers were wheeling bottled water around to those involved. I was really blown away at this level of detail and organisation. I hope they read this because it I want to say how impressive it was. I'd really like to see other areas do the same in the upcoming months and ultimately for there to be a gathering of all those areas in a Reclaim London demo. Good to see load of urbanites - too many to mention here. Everything I saw was peaceful and fun but powerful - I felt inspired.

Yeah Foxtons got their window put through but I'm assuming they have an annual budget for this.

I did but it was delayed, I think babylon were interfering with social media. Then Foxton's happened and i went down there and then came back and i felt like calling out "who is Frogwoman?, I am Dexter" but decided not to.

More likely to be high density of phone use in the area "maxing out" the networks than Babylon using their phone necromancy skillz. Apparently happened last new years' eve during the final countdown too for lots of the spectators there.

^^^ this with bells on! Too many community spaces disappearing, the threat to social housing, the constant increases to private renters. To build on this, I'd like to see something happening every other week in different areas.

happens at millwall too at half time. then goes back to normal once the game starts. density of calls.
 
Cop shop quiet now but they are stacking up.
Had a laugh with the legendary landlord who tried to hush me (for my own sake) in front of a van of paramilitary police but i told him i was on the public pavement and he was looking down at me from the front of his premises as a landlord.
"What is it that you want Dexter?"
"Well, I used to be a Marxist but let's have anarchy."
Then we both exchanged Platonic quotes, I know he taught English and is a very clever man. He didn't test me and I got away with it. Also took his advice and went home.

Barnados I assume - this I don't really get. :( It's not representative of the event as a whole from my perspective.

The justification used in 2013 (by the "Informal Anarchist Federation" twats) when the same thing happened, was that as Barnardos are involved in the detention of juvenile refugees in the UK, they're a fair target. Wouldn't have bothered with them myself, but I know that some immigration activists get quite het up about Barnardos involvement, as it tends to lend an air of respectability to the (mostly illegal) detention of children.

And the constant increase in private rents that's pushing ever more people to food banks.
