MAT COWARD looks back at a protest 105 years ago this month, whose reporting by the media bears uncomfortable similarities with demos today
IN March, my landlord of 10 years informed me that he wanted to sell his house and that because I had been a “good” tenant, he would need to serve me with a section 21 so-called “no fault” eviction, giving me just two months to find a new home.
As I have serious disabilities, including spinal cord damage, and rely on a care package to meet my daily needs, I knew finding a home that was both accessible and affordable in the same borough would be extremely difficult.
I started to look at both private properties and those on the council website, but immediately found barriers to getting a new home. The first month passed, leaving just one month left.
