London, UK 29th September 2016. Lisa McKenzie, organiser of the LSE's 3-day 'Resist' festival, speaks after the presentation by Simon Elmer of Architects for Social Housing (ASH) of a lengthy and detailed indictment, The Intellectual Bloodstain' on a study by a group of LSE academics who produced a report on Kidbrooke Village, a development by Berkeley Homes and Southern Housing since 2009 on the site of the LCC-built Ferrier Estate in SE London, which was deliberately run-down, demonised and emptied by Greenwich Council from 1999 onwards.

London, UK 29th September 2016. Lisa McKenzie, organiser of the LSE's 3-day 'Resist' festival, speaks after the presentation by Simon Elmer of Architects for Social Housing (ASH) of a lengthy and detailed indictment, The Intellectual Bloodstain' on a study by a group of LSE academics who produced a report on Kidbrooke Village, a development by Berkeley Homes and Southern Housing since 2009 on the site of the LCC-built Ferrier Estate in SE London, which was deliberately run-down, demonised and emptied by Greenwich Council from 1999 onwards. He accused the academics of lying about the reality of estate regeneration, of taking the framework of their report from the developer and presenting it as their own, of "placing the cultural legitimacy of an LSE report in the service of Government policy and the profits of Berkeley Homes" and of accepting money to validate the the developers desired conclusions and demanded they should be sacked.
