Spray Squat: bit of a street party before eviction

Still uncertain when the eviction of the Spray squat will be attempted.

But, in the meantime the supporters of the squat, party in the street. Offering moral support and wishing all well. The gig would have continued for the rest of the day, if not for the bad weather.

Folks remain on standby determined to oppose the eviction, and the onset of their homelessness. [not to mention the continued deteriation of the building].

When / if they are evicted .... the building will return to being an empty eyesore with more bits continuing to fall off, and those currently housed there ..... become homeless.

Squatting is not a crime, but the owners right to just let it rot ... should be.

These are some recent posting on the newswire about recent events:
