MASSIVE SNOB
Our very own Brighton is hosting the International Squatters Convergence from 17th-19th May (and probably beyond). With the imminent criminalisation of squatting in England and Wales, squatters are coming from all over Europe to plot and party against the ban, right on doorstep of the Tory MP who pushed the ban through (Mike Weatherly). Cooked up by SNOB(aha)- the Squatters Network of Brighton (and Hove actually), there'll be a veritable smorgasbord of workshops, film screenings, partying and vegan food. Come one come all – see if you can make it through to the Jubilee celebrations..!

UPDATE: They finally coughed up. After two days of consistent hassling by activists at the Department for Transport earlier last month, during which one person got nicked, the DfT sheepishly released the previously top secret (read: problematic and embarrassing) documents about the Bexhill-Hastings Link Road.
