This is a time line of events of the resistance to the eviction today of Dave Morris who was involved in the McLibel trial.

10.05 am. About 25 people including 5 kids are gathered outside home of Dave Morris in North London. Bailiff had arrived with clipboard, but left when he sawthe number of resistors.

10.25 Samba band have arrived - there is no stress, despite the bailiffs being set to arrive at 10.50. Council workers are already in place to board up windows and change locks.

10.45 Four kids armed with water bombs on standby to resist bailiffs who have arrived and are waiting around. Rumours that the police may be called to enforce eviction.

11.00 Police wearing protective vests have arrived and are talking to council workers on pavement, outside house. Large numbers of people have meant the police are unsure what action to take

11.30 Police have left and the samba band have started up the music accompanied by a fog horn. Water bombs still at the ready.

12.00 Bailiffs left, police gone, Dave Morris remains and no further action is expected until approx two weeks time. The mood is jubilant
