Squatting 70s style, BBC4 8 Feb
Thought this looked rather interesting and may be of interest to people here. Will certainly try & watch it myself. A bit before my time, but it looks like fascinating South London counter-cultural history all the same.

They do, don't they? I don't have freeview, but will watch it on b/f's TV - & he only has ability to record to hard disc - otherwise I'd have been only too glad to video/DVD this & pass it on to people.

The Villa road programme looks unmissable, it's even going to have something about St Agnes place...

Sorry I cant video it either GE, I haven't had a machine for ages now.

Must see this Villa Road programme ...

Wasn't some researcher asking around on Urban for old photos/footage relating to Villa Road, a few months ago??

Cheers Stig and Zenie A dvd would be superb, so I suppose the honour of recording them for me should go to Stig

I get crap TV reception, so getting freeview is likely to cost more than the £40 for the box

Does anyone remember a programme made by a bunch of Oxford squatters about 15 years ago?

Theres also a series of 3 minute-long "shorts" on Channel 4 monday to wednesday called "Squat Street".

Monday is about "the first days of a squat in south London"
Tuesday is about "squatters in west London"
Wednesday is about "the demolition of London's St. Agnes Place squat".

Edited to add:

The shorts are on at 7:55PM each night.

yes.


And cheers for letting us know about those other short films VP, are they on after the news?
I'm really glad there's some stuff about St.Agnes getting out there. Those scumbags responsible dont deserve to be re-elected.

The elections are in May - people really need to start working out a strategy on this now - for example if it was decided to stand specific candidates and you wanted a party name to appear on the ballot you need to be registered.

"Candidates representing a registered political party may use a description of up to six words and a registered party emblem on the ballot paper. This description must be authorised by the registered party’s Nominating Officer, or
by a person authorised in writing to do so on their behalf, and must not lead voters to confuse them with another party. Candidates not standing on behalf of a party may use the description ‘Independent’ or no description at all, and cannot use an emblem."

Alternatively the approach might be to vote tactically (for or against specific candidates of whichever party in each ward) or maybe to stand on a Green ticket.

Whichever approach is taken I think anyone wanting to do it should start things off now if they want to make a real impact in May. A strategy needs to be discussed and agreed on, people recruited, materials prepared and any registration and form-filling sorted out - and then a few weeks of more concentrated activity prior to the elections.
