Were you kettled? Give information for a legal challenge
The Haldane Society of Socialist Lawyers is working with those who are using the law to challenge the use of kettling by police at recent student demonstrations. To identify potential witnesses and claimants we are asking protesters and bystanders to lend their support by completing this Kettling Info Sheet Please note that this information will only be passed to solicitors who are already acting for protesters bringing cases to assess whether it can be used in evidence to support the legal actions. However, the Haldane Society cannot guarantee that a solicitor will get in touch, and so if you want specific legal advice about your case, you should contact a solicitor directly.

An amazing email from Peter Davies
I just read on your twitter that you’ve ended your occupation. I hope UCL dropped the £40K threat. And that you are all fine.
You have all done something amazing, and even if it has officially ended, it will live on. You have achieved something more than you can imagine. You have stood up for yourselves, and challenged authority, which are essential things for artists to do . And you have done these things in a way that can only set an example to everyone else, with your intelligence and your peaceful means. You have all won because you have gained something from doing what you have done. Plus you have inspired people, and as artists, what more can anyone hope to achieve.
I take my hat off to you all, as I feel I have learnt so much from you all, and what you have done in the last few weeks
best wishes
Peter
Event taking place at the ICA reading room tonight
Event taking place at the ICA on SATURDAY 11th DEC, it starts at 8pm and is open till 12pm and I would really like to share this opportunity of using their READING ROOM to have another event/meeting/teach-in and to use the public space for bringing art that can be disseminated and any form of passionate, non-hierarchical, pedagogical exchange against these cuts as we were talking about this evening. Tell people to bring any ART they want to and I have a TV and a small printer so far and places to display reasonably small artworks.
Any suggestions at all would be great so just email or text me, and email back the whole group to get everyone involved.
Tell everyone you know.
Contact Jake on 07920520835 or email adornosporno@gmail.com for more info.
The Slade Occupation has ended peacefully
We will issue a full statement on Monday. This is not over.
