Smash School Privatisation: The Hank Roberts Interview

Thursday 17 July 2008: after the media left on Wednesday night, the council bailiffs arrived and laid down the law to Hank Roberts and all those still supporting the Tent City Occupation.

Leave now, or face prison time. Roberts refused, from his locked position on the rooftop of the sports hall.

The council would arrive the following morning at 6.30am with specialist equipment to remove him and finally evict the Tent City Anti-Academy Occupation.

In this interview, shot the day before, Brent NUT and ATL Secretary Hank Roberts reflects on the eviction resistance and lays down his own law on Academisation and the total privatisation of state UK education.
