Description: The film opens with two men dismantling fencing around the properties while a police officer stands guard at the door. Residents and supporters gather on the roadside in protest, voicing their outrage.

An interview with Mr. Heavy from social services reveals his view of the eviction as deplorable, while acknowledging the council’s legal authority to evict. He highlights the severe lack of resources for rehousing displaced families, noting that temporary accommodations such as bed and breakfasts are unsuitable alternatives. Sue Hall probes whether unused housing could alleviate the crisis.

The squatters had only ten minutes’ notice before eviction. One man recounts being forcibly removed by police without prior warning. Scenes show the house and the protesting crowd chanting slogans like “Where are we going to sleep tonight?” Police officers refuse to comment on the eviction, while two young girls interviewed blame the council for provoking poor behaviour and shame them for leaving the land unused for two years.

The sheriff’s officer, identifiable by his trench coat, walks alongside the eviction site while protestors shout accusations. A council worker announces street closures, and residents complain about their inability to reclaim possessions as police and council workers remove furniture and load it onto lorries bound for council storage—although precise details are withheld.

One interviewee in a cream jumper decries the council’s broken promises regarding rehousing and criticizes the systemic failures faced by evictees. A local man condemns the destruction of newly built housing, which he describes as “disgusting.” A cameraman from The Guardian appears on site, and passers by voice complaints about bailiffs and police conduct.

The camera records the demolition process, including confrontations with bailiffs attempting to remove the film crew from the premises. Protesters vocally oppose the destruction of their homes and the lack of transparency regarding where their belongings are taken. Attempts by Sue Hall to elicit information from council officials are met with silence and “no comment.”

Later, squatters enter a council building to demand accountability. They search for the responsible officers and confront a councilman overseeing the eviction. The official refuses to provide details and evades responsibility but commits to trying to secure housing for the displaced families. The scene ends in a dimly lit office, audio occasionally difficult to hear.
