Focus E5 Mothers Party Against Eviction

East Thames Housing Assn, Stratford, London. Fri 17 Jan 2014

 

 
 Streamers, party hats, balloons...

 

 and Vimto and cakes...

 

 

 

 And the air is filled with hearts, starts and other shapes

 That looks like a good cake. But the man from East Thames has come to talk to the mothers

  with some strange hand gestures
 
He tries very hard to stay calm and reasonable 

but has to deal with some pretty strong questioning over why with all the properties they are building 

they can't rehouse local people like the Focus E15 mothers 

 

People aren't too impressed by his act 

though to be fair I feel he is probably doing the best he can given the way social housing has been under  

attack by succesive governments at least since Thatcher sold most of it off.
