Jeremy Corbyn with the Balie Hoose activists
DOZENS of activists occupying an empty building in Glasgow launched a crowdfund today to help defend them from eviction following a threat of a court order by the city council.
Members of the Baile Hoose collective, currently staying at the former Hamish Allan Centre in the city, have appealed for financial and political support to defend them against potential eviction.
The collective, who initially took control of the building to house hundreds of activists during Cop26, say it has been necessary for the occupation to continue in order to draw attention to the housing crisis.
