London, UK. 18th June 2016. Listening to speeches before the march from Hyde Park Corner to Parliament against the Housing Act passed last month, demanding that it be repealed as it make the current housing crisis much worse, removing security from many tenants, and result in the demolition and selling off social housing. Protesters say councils should refuse to implement it and call on people to stand together to boycott the pay-to-stay tax, resist evictions and block regeneration and estate demolitions. There was noisy shouting when a Southwark Councillor spoke, with many protesters calling their demolition of the Heygate and Aylesbury estates by Southwark a shameful example of exactly the kind of social cleansing this protest was against. After speeches at Hyde Park Corner, the march moved off to a further rally outside Parliament. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
