London, UK. 24th February 2018. Martin Wright holds a poster 'Shard Owners Can't Shut Us Up' as he speaks opposite The Shard as Class War celebrate their victory over the Qatari Royal family who had taken them to Royal Courts of Justice to attempt to stop protests there. They had intended to dance the Lambeth Walk from a rally at City Hall to another outside The Shard, accompanied by ukuleles, but perhaps because of the cold weather, only one ukelele turned up and instead they simply marched behind their banner, supported by members of the Revolutionary Communist Group.

London, UK. 24th February 2018. Martin Wright holds a poster 'Shard Owners Can't Shut Us Up' as he speaks opposite The Shard as Class War celebrate their victory over the Qatari Royal family who had taken them to Royal Courts of Justice to attempt to stop protests there. They had intended to dance the Lambeth Walk from a rally at City Hall to another outside The Shard, accompanied by ukuleles, but perhaps because of the cold weather, only one ukelele turned up and instead they simply marched behind their banner, supported by members of the Revolutionary Communist Group. The protest called for the thousands of empty buildings in London and elsewhere - including those ten empty £50 million flats in the Shard - to be taken over and used to house the homeless. Martin Wright pointed out that the coming cold snap next week will probably be "another Grenfell", likely to kill at least 80 people of the thousands who are sleeping on the streets. At the end of the rally opposite the Shard, Class War amused themselves by mounting a mock charge on the offices of Murdoch's News UK, publishers of The Times and The Sun.
