come down and get involved london needs social centres priests and chainsaws revisited at 5am on thursday 15th october 2009 the rampart creative centre and social space was evicted by 45 police with chainsaws and remarkably a church of england vicar three people and a dog were inside the eviction marks the end of nearly five and a half years of occupation during which rampart has served as a landmark for the social centres movement in london and a venue for a diverse range of events including political meetings workshops info cafes fundraising parties and the london freeschool the eviction significantly happened on the same day that non commercial house a freeshop operating out of a building in nearby commercial street lost their case against eviction and a week after the collective occupying 2a belgrade road in stoke newington successfully defended the space from eviction by council bailiffs this may be a coincidence but with the london olympics less than three years away and in a time of crisis for a city that depends on financial services and tourism it isn t difficult to come to the conclusion that squatted properties are being targeted in a concerted scouring of the city setting an example so others dare not even try social centres are important and not only because they provide space for political organising d i y culture and free education outside of the institutional constraints that are increasingly limiting free expression and the development of cultural alternatives squatting draws attention both to the dimensions of homelessness in one of the world s richest cities and the consequences of rampant property speculation in 2008 there were 100 000 empty homes in london it also draws attention to the lack of facilities where people with a diversity of interests can meet and socialise without paying exorbitant prices and contributing to capitalist expansion or fitting into paternalistic box ticking government agendas more importantly perhaps the occupation of commercial and government owned premises blocks the flow of capital which homogenises cities and their populations the free spaces of the city are increasingly few and increasingly under siege this is why it is vital that we continue to organise and exploit the empty properties which the current recession has made available rampart was sited in a part of london which has witnessed a history of struggle for autonomous expression and the rights of workers and exploited minorities at a time when global capitalist expansion and the rise of neo liberal ideology has destroyed the lives of many peoples around the world it is essential that that struggle continues rampart was not just a building but a convergence of committed individuals and groups willing to give their time and energy to creatively demonstrating that it is possible to effect change that energy has not dissipated we will not be beaten rampart is dead long live rampart to get involved and
