Homes.

 
         More relevant today than ever, the struggle for affordable homes, with the economic plundering of the public by the Sunak/Hunt duo of financial market appeasers, we are facing higher rents, higher mortgages, more evictions and homelessness. Though this book was first published in 1992, it is the same struggle that the ordinary people have faced all their lives. I hope you can get along and join this struggle for decent, affordable and secure homes for all.

John Smith House

Duration: 2 hr

Public · Anyone on or off Facebook
          Join us to celebrate the publication of the new 2022 edition of ‘Sell and be damned – The Glasgow Merrylee Housing Scandal of 1951’ As Told By Ned Donaldson and Les Forster.
         Originally published in 1992, the book then marked the 40th anniversary of the successful protest campaign aimed at ending Glasgow Corporation’s plan to sell newly built council houses in Merrylee. This new, expanded edition marks the 30th anniversary of its original publication and the 70th anniversary of the protest itself – an important chapter in Glasgow’s history of housing activism. Copies of the book will be on sale on the night (£5.00 cash only) - proceeds from sales will be donated to Living Rent.
