City of Westminster pursues social cleansing big time

Gemma and others in the Kilburn Unemployed Workers Group are supporting Community Champion Keeda Wood against being forced to leave the home she has occupied for at least the last three years, and against City of Westminster forcing her to leave the borough.

Reflecting the mercilessness with which City of Westminster are going about social cleansing, there are these items from Camden New Journal's West End Extra:

Thousands shipped out of the city in Westminster’s ‘social cleansing of the poor’

Sir Robin Wales: 'Boris Johnson has said that he will not tolerate ‘Kosovo-style social cleansing of the poor in London’ but this is clearly happening'

Meeting structure

Helping you feel at home: We meet weekly in the Small Hall at KingsgateCC and start gathering from 3pm, attempting to start the meetings at about 3:15pm and definitely before 3:30pm.

Bring and share refreshments are included. We are not like the 'No eating or drinking on the premises' jobcentre.

The formal meetings start with firstname and what benefit we are on or a one-liner about what brings us to KUWG. (Pensioners and other allies welcome.)

We then ask for casework from those present, arrange who will help with what case, and go onto discussing campaigning leafleting and such outreach activities. We also arrange who will do the chairing or facilitating and note-taking for the following week. Rotating these roles helps minimise the risk of being dominated by one person and helps us build our skills as we share the workload.

Meetings actually finish at about 5:20pm to allow for putting tables and chairs back and leaving the kitchen facilities ready for the next group.
