Order is restored to Pall Mall club scene

Last week Mr S reported on the poshest squatters ever: dozens of angry militant lefties had taken over a building on Pall Mall to protest against a multitude of right on issues. However, the dopey hippies got the wrong building. They thought they were ‘occupying’ the Institute of Directors but it wasn’t the case as the lease on the building was handed back by the IoD last summer.

Sadly, Steerpike can now report that Autonomous Nation of Anarchist Libertarians (ANAL) have been evicted by six police vans and dogs. There were a few minor scuffles, but all over in time for lunch.

‘No sign of water cannon, alas, so they’re still unwashed,’ guffaws a pinstriped onlooker at the scene.
