I had mixed feelings about the eviction of Ungdomshuset and the subsequent riots - riots are generally a bad thing in my book. However, the timing of the demolition of the historic building seems to be something of a calculated slap in the face to anyone who has been involved in the labour movement, and more particularly the women’s movement.
