Housing activists will descend on City Hall to block ‘rich’ budget
HUNDREDS of Londoners will stand up to Tory Mayor Boris Johnson today in an attempt to block his “rich only” budget due for a City Hall vote.
The Block the Budget protest has been called by housing campaigners, social and private tenants in response to an ever-growing housing crisis in the capital.
The mayor has been responsible for the end of rent controls on new build homes in the city and spearheading the sell-off of hundreds of acres of public property to private developers.
