Tagged as:Neighbourhoods: london west
Corrupt pro-war pro-airport expansion pro-ID cards MPs Keen, husband and wife, see their empty, expenses-scam house squatted... eviction expected soon (FRIDAY 10 July) amidst media attention, and upcoming court case. Come show solidarity! And make the best of this opportunity to tell the media and politicos what we think of them!
Call out! Anne keen squat court date!
On the 26th june squatters occupied the 'main house' of MP's anne and alan keen. On Friday 10th June the court date for the repossesion will be heard at brentford magistrates court, brentford, west london - nearest tube station gunnersbury or overground to brentford On the 26th june squatters occupied the 'main residence' of MP's anne and alan keen.With nearly 100% local support (exception being the immigration minister phillip willis standing on the doorstep, holdin the hand of his four year old whilst screaming, jumping and pointing that we were 'fucking scum') the squatters attempted to renevate the property with hopes of either transforming it into social housing, a community centre or a refugee support centre. Last friday night a benefit gig was held for refugee charity's around the world with mark thomas, attila the stockbroker and wil hodgson raising £70 - 100 pounds.
On Friday 10th july the keen's will seek a repossesion order (IPO) in brentford magistrates court, the occupiers are calling for a demonstration outside the courthouse to highlight the systemic problem of corruption within all government and to make public these particular MP's voting record's, including:
voting for the iraq war
against the investigation into the iraq war
for trident replacement
for I.D cards
against transparency in government expenses
for the 3rd heathow runway (1 1/2 hours after promising the pulic she would vote NO)
for the lisbon treaty
On the 10th july at 2pm we have an oppurtunity to tell this particularly insidiouscouple that the decisions they have made over their last 12 years of power have been not only been misrepresentive of their constituents opinions but caused miseryaround the world.
Assemble outside the court from 1:30 to tell all politicians that they can no longerassume that we will remain dormant whilst they ruin our world
More background...?
hey people! about a week ago a group of like minded peeps decided to act on a brentford constituants anger that the MPs mr and mrs Keen AKA "mr and mrs expenses" had an abandoned first home which they were using to claim money for the their second home. we found it unlocked and in a state of disrepair.
we have generated a huge amount of publicity around the uk and internationally http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/05/AR2009070502860.html , mostly positive in terms of squatters (possibly the best recieved squatters in thecountry) and more importantly peoples ability to stand up for themselves in times ofcrisis. Since the financial meltdown there has been pretty much no response from thegeneral public on either the bankers or the politicians exaubitant extraction ofpretty much all funds from the "public purse". but now millions across the uk havebeen exposed to this type of action and have physically given their support, we havebeen unendated with letters, hampers and visits including cabbies sharing a pint anda chat in our basement. we have support from the both the far left and right (eek)so now is a good time to jump in unison from the sinking ship, but first lets makethe mps and the bankers walk the plank!!!!!!!
ok so we've had the interim possesion order on our squat which belongs to theextremely unnoble tax grabbin war votin, heathrow runway buildin, utter feck tardsthe keens. our case is on friday and we need as much support as possible in terms ofbanners other campaigns targeting any number of the keens dodgy voting records sincethey skated into office on the curtails of the equally she-ite tory government toturn up and "give it some". It appears that the courts are helping the keens to fasttrack the case which shows the corrupt courts working in tandem with the corrupt politicians, its for this reason that we must use the press coverage on the day to voice our discent (this is all this action was ever about). Wouldn't it be great if many others especially non activists atually stood up and used there anger and disolution to act in ways louder than any petition, well judging by the response itsgetting closer to a reality, but your support is needed. theres too much to say on this issue as obviously with a politician your gonna find a guzzilin skelitons in the proverbial closet contact us asap of you wanna get involved. we have maybe a few days left of occupation (possibly next monday)
