In our latest round up of radical messaging from the streets of SE London it's no surprize to see the cost of living crisis taking centre stage.
'Don't Pay' stickers and posters have been ubiquitous recently, as the movement to encourage people who can't/won't pay their rocketing energy bills steps up.

As part of a national day of action on October 1st (a day also marked by rail and post office strikes), Don't Pay Lewisham organised a burning of energy bills by Lewisham Town Hall in Catford:
| 'Trickle down is a lie, profits rise while people die' |
The tax cuts for the wealthy mini-budget in September has also prompted opposition from local cats..
| 'F**k the fat cats', phone box in Jerningham Road SE14 |
| 'Liz Truss - tax cats for the fat cats' in New Cross |
| 'Liz Truss wants the poor to pay' |
| 'Billions wasted on inadequate ppe contracts and track and trace to his mates, an insulting 3% rise to NHS staff' (posters in Brockley seemingly dating from the Boris Johnson days) |
| 'Enough is Enough - General Strike Now' - on Bermondsey Cycleway 10 |
Of course the climate crisis isn't going away either - an upside down Penelope Cruz seems to be lending her head to 'Just Stop Oil' thanks to this poster on film poster montage in Queens Road, Peckham.
The far right might be on the rise in many parts of the world. but London Anti Fascist Assembly are on alert in SE14:
