Newbury Anniversary
Cops on horseback, some in helicopters as well as the usual van-loads
stood guard, as 100 people held another re-union rally at Newbury two
weeks ago.
Perhaps the cops were a little nervous, fearing a repetition of last
years anniversary, when naughty activists `hi-jacked' a Friends of the
Earth rally, invaded a site compound and smashed and burned every piece
of machinery they could get their hands on, causing at least £200,000
worth of damage. This time the police had to contend with people with
Christmas decorations, ribbons and thermos flasks. Later at a candle-lit
vigil, a man was spotted all blacked up and laying on the ground and
eavesdropping on those at the vigil!
