Eviction of Manchester Airport

Two out of the seven camps in Bollin Valley were invaded on Tuesday morning at 3.30am by the eviction mercenaries. There have been upwards of 10-11 arrests so far (midday Tuesday) and a siege situation is being laid. Potholers are expected to start digging into the tunnels which extend into the valley sides quite soon.

The main contractors for the building of the runway are Tarmac and AMEC who have offices and building sites all over the country / world. Perhaps some solidarity actions would be nice. Other Airports...
