Imagine being unwelcome at your own conference! 300 ACORN members took over, and the bailiffs ran. No posh free lunch for you while the people you bully, harass and intimidate go without so they can feed their kids.

@realdomjoly.bsky.social It's such a shame that you are doing this. CCUA has strong ties with private bailiff companies who use fear, intimidation and often violence towards vulnerable people. Please rethink this event Dom...it's horrible vile money and you're better than this! ✌️

It's time for this barbaric and medieval practice to end #BailiffFreeBritain
NEW CAMPAIGN 🚨
Right now, people are pushed into poverty when councils send in bailiffs for council tax debt.
But there’s another way.
Together, we can stop this. Together, we can have dignity not debt. Together, we can make Britain Bailiff Free👇

ACORN Union’s first national convention featured workshops on recruitment, leadership, housing rights, and communications, and included an eviction resistance role-play, culminating in the launch of their Bailiffs Out of Britain campaign.

We’re being squeezed dry. Rents are on the rise yet again, and tenants are now spending over a third of their income just to keep a roof over their heads, leaving less for food, heating and life itself. We need rent controls now!

These people shouldn't be in Parliament, they clearly have their own interests which are not anyone else's at heart.

In 2024 UK companies made £594bn in profit.
They employ 27.8m people.
This means they could have afforded on average to pay each worker £21,367 more.
That's the minimum wage being robbed from every single worker in the UK by billionaires.

Welfare isn't unpopular, it is a system that we all have to rely on and everyone realises its value.
It's unpopular with the billionaire Media who hate every penny you get because it is one they don't.

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent.
Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.

Renting is killing the UK economy.
More than 6m of the UK's 40m adults live in Private rented accomodation an increase of more than 200% from 25 years ago.
Most of their free money goes on their rent often to companies located in tax havens.
All of it is lost.
