Balcombe evictions
Aug 21, 2013
Bishop Hill in Energy: gas

Apparently one of the Balcombe sites is in the process of being cleared by police after suggestions of criminal behaviour.

Police have tweeted:

Our officers have just entered a camp set up in a Christmas tree plantation/woodland close to the Cuadrilla site in Balcombe.

The protestors are apparently squealing that it's an illegal eviction. This sudden concern for the law seems a little bit unlikely to me.

The protestors are filming their own agents provocateurs at work here.

Protestors arrested on earlier days all seem to be getting unconditional bail. Not even a demand that they steer clear of the Cuadrilla site.

More as I get it.
