A group of homeless mothers are going to court to fight their eviction from abandoned flats near the Olympic Park in East London. They claim their local authority is forcing them to move to other cities even though there is plenty of suitable social housing in the area. A mum involved in the group, Jasmine Stone, gave 5 live's Lesley Ashmall a tour of the council house they had taken over. One mum said: "When we got handed our evictions, we got woken up to what the world really is. No one should be intimidated by the council, they work for us." This clip is orginally from Breakfast Thursday 2 October 2014.
