when the Court Order was served? "I don't know", said Carol Either we'll barricade and fight—or we'll do a flit and squat somewacre eise Though I don't see why tney can't let us stay here. The flats are in good condition, and we've offered them a fair rent...
What about politics?. During the course of the last year, hadn't the McNallys started to ask a few questions about the society they were living in, and the kind of views held by groups who helped them? 'No', said Carol. Not really. All we're interested in is a place to live. Whatever people like Tony from the Campaign are in it for, good luck to them. I suppose we help them and they help US.

Living upstairs from the McNallies is Marie McKay. She's an articulate unmarried mother who's family couldn't or wouldn't look after her when she found herself in 'trouble'. She had to go and live with her boy-friend's parents in Dulwich, but they didn't get on, so she came back to the East End where she had been born and raised. She found that as far as the Welfare Services there were concerned she was no longer under their care.
