Star fundraisers hear of threat to London estate

RAPPER and poet Potent Whisper condemned a London council’s plans to bulldoze yet another council estate at a fundraiser gig for the Morning Star.

Performing at the Constitution pub in Camden on Saturday, he lambasted Lambeth council for the social cleansing of the Cressingham Gardens estate which is facing imminent demolition.

“People have raised their families within those walls,” he said, “Let’s not forget the elderly who have spent their whole lives here and have got the right to die here."
