    They have not given an official call out for support, but make no mistake it's on it's way. Anyone who can help defend this wonderful building should have no excuse not to.

    04 JUNE THE SQUARE O.S.C. will resist its eviction - announcement
    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

    We have decided to resist the eviction of THE SQUARE scheduled for Friday June 23rd 2006. We are preparing a political statement and call for solidarity to the social centres around the UK, autonomous collectives and radicals to converge on the weekend of the 23rd-24th-25th June in Russell Square. We plan a social resistance to any attempts to evict us composed of all the elements which constitute THE SQUARE - including students, teachers & migrants which have utilised and contributed to this radical public space.

    We plan to stay until we want to leave

    "How you cling to your purity, young man! How afraid you are to soil your hands! All right, stay pure! What good will it do? Why did you join us? Purity is an idea for a yogi or a monk. You intellectuals and Bourgeois anarchists use it as a pretext for doing nothing. To do nothing, to remain motionless, arms at your sides, wearing kids gloves. Well, I have dirty hands. Right up to the elbows. I've plunged them in the filth and blood. But what do you hope? Do you think you'll govern innocently?"
    -Jean-Paul Sartre

    No excuses we have planes these days! :P

    But all right, nice to know you care! There are plenty of comrades in or around London who need to pull their fingers out! I will be heading down saturday, or, failing that, donating cash.
