London, UK. 7th June Hallam (left) gives final instructions before the start of the Life Not Money at the LSE street theatre protest supporting London School of Economics cleaners who have taken a series of weekly strikes for equality. The LSE and employers Noonan treat them as second-class citizens, refusing to recognise their union the United Voices of the World and giving them low pay and grossly inferior conditions to directly employed staff. Two sprayed a chalk slogans on the road while others alternated chanting 'London School of Exploitation' with loud blowing of vuvuzelas. They then performed a short play in which a character playing the LSE director tore the shirts off the backs of several cleaners and boasted about his huge and rapidly rising salary, while a student and a lecturer made excuses about not intervening.
