At the same time, it is in the areas of planning blight, as the owner intentionally properties will be empty until their development has been increased. The Law at the time allowed to empty buildings for use as emergency shelter for the homeless.

squatters would make The Most of this legal leeway, you move on to another Property - often around The Corner - when the bailiff came.

in order to organize To protect themselves against The Threat of eviction, some decided. The resulting group became known as the London Street commune (LSC).

It was the LSC that broke in 144 Piccadilly in September 1969.

He would tell a Reporter stationed, wanted to outside of The Group , a "real-people's forum, A Resistance movement against all these institutions, like The Family , schools, prisons, borstals".

However, the magnitude and the position of the squat led to a media-organized moral panic", he says.

"It was the idea that their Property was no longer sacrosanct. In fact, I remember one of the Headlines to do the " What if the hippies come to your house tonight.

"Somehow, there was this new generation that had come out of nowhere. It was outside of The Family , it's enemy was even against the idea of The Family .

"It could not be controlled and their own children were able to run away and join us. "
