The story of #FocusE15, a group of young single mums who occupied and demanded social housing in NewHam 10 years ago ✊
'One day, they took the protest to an Olympic Village show flat – a luxury apartment for prospective buyers – and set up a children’s party. “It was very quiet when we got in, and then so loud with the poppers and all the babies and children,” says Stone. They wore party hats and handed out cake. The police came, but were reluctant to intervene. “They didn’t know what to do with all these young women and babies in buggies,” says Caller. Stone interjects, laughing: “Not just women – teenage women with hormones everywhere, pregnant or who had just had a baby.”'
