I stayed in specially and fed the cat so someone could go to the demonstration at campsfield. When someone writes the history of all this I hope they won't forget the vital role played by us radical catfeeders. Paul.

Chances of arrest?

Not to sound pussy, but I am, so thats the way it comesout :)...what are the chances of getting arrested for just being at Campsfield? I want to come and do support work, but I cannot afford to get arrested, considering that I am due to be leaving the country in a few weeks.

Calculated risk

20.07.2001 11:21

The main risk of arrest is related to what you are doing: if you chucking bricks about you can't blame the cops for nicking you. On the other hand, if you are in an doorway minding your own business they would leave you alone (probably).

If you can't be nicked then keep well clear of any flashpoints.

Don't be scared off by the cops: its what they want. When you get to Oxford station call 07900 653990 or 07960 973 847 and someone will guide you to the camp or a reserve squat, and the action.
