Neil Riley tells the fascinating story of late 60's anarchist and syndicalist direct-action organisation of squatting in empty West London properties, how this movement progressed to government funded, fully mutual housing co-operatives, and how in 1988 government funding for these cooperative was abruptly ended. Please join us for discussion of this fascinating case study of local and radical direct-action politics.
