RIOT police violently evicted a squat of housing activists yesterday, “smashing” through the back door of a former cult bar in London’s Soho.

The two-week occupation of 12 Bar club ended in dramatic scenes as bailiffs and police forced 20 people out of the former music venue in the early morning.

Bohemians 4 Soho member Danny Gardner told the Star that the eviction started at 9.30am when occupiers were starting their day.
