Dereliction Duty

The Criminal Injustice Act seems to have made squatting more popular/fashionable than ever. Among the more ambitious projects that have recently come to into existence was the conversion of the Old Courthouse in Brighton into a place for people to live, work and meet. There was an EF! exhibition there and other consciousness raising things such as film shows etc. A vegan cafe also flourished, and the project further added to the town’s reputation of being up with the best as far as alternative living is concerned. Unfortunately, yet again those irritating people, yes, you’ve guessed it, the TSG, broke up the fun by seizing the building and throwing those who had been living there out onto the streets.
