London, UK. 30th November 2016. Ian Bone of Class War reads an email apparently from a disaffected employee of Zaha Hadid Architects at the protest against their director Patrik Schumacher's Berlin lecture on the London Housing crisis in which he suggested the elimination of all forms of social housing and the privatisation of all public space in the city. His Berlin lecture was met with booing and his views have been widely disowned by architects and politicians including in an open letter from Zaha Hadid Architects.

London, UK. 30th November 2016. Ian Bone of Class War reads an email apparently from a disaffected employee of Zaha Hadid Architects at the protest against their director Patrik Schumacher's Berlin lecture on the London Housing crisis in which he suggested the elimination of all forms of social housing and the privatisation of all public space in the city. His Berlin lecture was met with booing and his views have been widely disowned by architects and politicians including in an open letter from Zaha Hadid Architects. The protest pointed out the class-based absurdity of his neo-conservative proposals which would produce a London which was simply a playground for the ultra-wealthy, but would socially cleanse it of all the workers essential to its running.
