... uninvited visitors to victual at rampART?
28th october 2008, london, whitechapel, lunchtime:
the police unexpectedly intruded the rampART social centre in their lunchtime. they must have been starving, because they felt like breaking the doors. we wonder if it was appetite, that made them force their way in, or curiosity, to see the progress of our efforts to barricade the rampART. still, we art not amused of officers on the scrounge...
... although we are generally open for people to come by to wine and dine with us, but we'd like to invite people to knock on the doors, rather than knocking them down. and we don't support gluttony of greedy developpers, groping houses to convert them to luxury flats, because they want to bite more than they can chew...
... as you might know, the rampART is under threat of immanent eviction, so these three coppers might have been the vanguard of the 80 riot cops that are expected to come by with the high court bailiffs to evict the space. so we are thinking how many people we will have to cater for breakfast. needless to say, we'd prefer to pamper our friends and supporters. so feel welcome to join the feast & fight the beast and defend your favourite social centre...
