Aylesbury rubble to Southwark Council

Southwark Council Offices, London. Tue 10 Feb 2015

  

 
 Police wait outside the council offices for the protest

 The protesters begin to arrive

 And stand around, a few with placards. One reads'Southwakr Labour Council Vandals - flushing the poor out of
the borough, smashing up homes - Who are the criminals?'

 Some police went inside the council offices

 A bike trailer arrives and people pick up black bags from it

 and move smartly towards the council offices

 

 
 
Police watch as the bring the bags and 

 

start to empty them 

 

more people come with bags 

and the police don't seem to know what to do 

 

 

They grab a woman who is holding a poster 

 

 

It's hard to see why they are holding her 

and eventually she gets to unfold the poster as another protester shouts to the people inside the council offices 

The poster goes down on top of some of the rubble from council works breaking up the empty homes 

A council employee comes to shut the iron gates
