Mike Freer MP Christmas Carolled By Barnet Bohemians over unfair law section 144 shelter is a human right

Mike Freer Christmas Carolled By Barnet Bohemians

Mike Freer, Conservative MP for Finchley and Golders Green, was christmas carolled at his Constituency Office by a group of 20 Occupiers, local community and the Barnet Bohemians, whose squatted social centre, the Bohemia was evicted last month.

 

The carols centred around the anti-squatting law, Section 144, of which Freer was the main architect, and the death of a young homeless man Daniel Gauntlett, as a direct result of the criminalisation of squatting in residential buildings.

 

 

The protesters were told to leave by office staff, who called the police.

“The police came, saw that we were peacefully protesting, heard our carols and went away with big smiles on their faces. Mike Freer called the police daft in a missent email, we’re calling it daftgate, and now he calls the police on us. So, that might be part of the reason they were so friendly and just let us get on with it.” Said activist Dom, 27.

Mike Freer and his staff declined to comment.
