One of @shapirostephen's small comments, evoking a love for intellectual realities by pointing to a book published in 1979. Looking back, looking forward...

The management at the School for Oriental and African Studies has set bailiffs on their own students, to end a peaceful encampment calling out the university’s close
relationship with colonialism and the genocide in #Gaza.

There's quite an affinity between public libraries and zine making. West Norwood offers a bring-your-baby zine club, #ILIT made zines with librarians and library managers. @faerber_alexa brixtonbuzz.com/2024/07/brin…

The public library as a social infrastructure: This can mean many things. Nice to see that Streatham Library has a monthly mtg for over 50s! #libraryresearch

Sadiq’s dagger to the heart of West London’s poorest communities - double-crossing and fast-tracking gentrification of one of London’s oldest street markets. Sadiq gave off-shore multi-billion developers 3 years to work up plans - but just a 6 hour window for objections. Shameful

I like this #OtD. For some reason i tend to forget victories more than defeats. The fall of #HondoTower was a victory, made possible by skilllfully & publicly using the kind of building regulations that are now dissed as nimby-protecting "red tape".

#OtD: 21st July 2023, #Brixton celebrates The Fall of #HondoTower. This was a huge achievement of @save_nour #FightTheTower campaign & local communities' struggle against further #gentrification of the neighbourhood.

Labour's plans to deregulate planning processes will further open up Britain to the property developers who have already caused so much damage to the country — and do little to help those at the sharp end of the housing crisis. tribunemag.co.uk/2024/07/der…

my heart is with my former colleagues @SociologyGold & other departs today where redundancy notices have been sent. It makes no sense to take a wrecking ball to the most vibrant & innovative intellectual community I have come across in order to cover mismanagement

"Divide & conquer" is a favorite game of our council officers, although it becomes less successful each time it's exposed. It's only worked very patchily on @SaveCressingham, & only a little more successfully on Lambeth's other "regeneration" estates.
