Eviction of squatters from private rented property that was being kept empty in Myrdle Strreet and Parfett Street, Whitechapel, London. 1973
October 29, 2013
Max Levitas, Tower Hamlets communist councillor, fails to impress the squatters security team in a private rented property that was being kept empty in Myrdle Strreet and Parfett Street, Whitechapel, London. 1973.
Levitas was trying to convince the squatters that the resistance to eviction should be taken over by the communist party.

If I’m not mistaken that’s Charlie Whelan on the far left. He was Social Secretary at City of London Poly around that time (later advisor to Gordon Brown, MP) and a Fieldgate resident, living with Sara Geater (COO at All3Media). I lived there too in the summer of ’73 and then ’76-’82 or thereabouts. Charlie stood outside guarding my flat from squatters while I was off getting my possessions before moving in to No. 4.
