London, UK. 30th April 2017. Cosmo sings at the Class War protest against gentrification outside Bermondsey's White Cube gallery. There were also performances by Adam Clifford (aka Jimmy Kunt) , Potent Whisper nd others, along with speeches by Simon Elmer of ASH, Martin Wright and Ian Bone. As well as providing a coruscating attack on the housing polices of Labour-run London councils including Southwark who are demolishing social housing to provide investment opportunities for the wealthy, mainly overseas investors, many of whom leave the properties empty while their market values soar, the event was also a launch party for the relaunched Class War tabloid - and there was some football. Police had thoughtfully provided a large security presence for the event, while White Cube had closed their gallery, employed security staff and parked a large van across the entrance to ensure that no one was distracted from the Class War event in the yard in front of the gallery.
