Have just got back to Nottingham, after travelling back from RAF Menwith Hill.. Protest of a couple of thousand. Usual speeches etc. There was a carnival atmosphere with many people dressed in tin foil, music was provided by the Sheffield Samba Band and the Trollyd Soundsystem amoung others. Went for a march around the base. Various attempt made at trying to breach the fence. It did get a bit dynamic, with much pushing and shoving. There was a heavy police presence and several scuffles and some arrests. Some police in protective clothing and full kit!
Yet again, the police ‘evidence gatherers’ were out and about, filming the citizen, there assembed. They get to film you in a public place, you try and do it to them, and they don’t like it! Treatend with obstruction, pushed and shoved, poked in the ribs with his stick etc etc ………. Anyway, after all that, I pointed out I would be applying to North Yorkshire Police Data Protection Officer next week for a copy of the video tape that they produced during the day, being so entitled to a copy under the Data Protection Act. They didn’t like that either.
14 rolls of HP5 this time. Loads of work. Process and Scan tomorrow…… nite nite….
