*!*!* FAIRORD ACTION REPORT!

London Anarchist Youth | 23.02.2003 16:01

The action as it happens! First report from fairford!

Today's protest at Fairford resulted in around 400 people attempting to charge into the base after the main gate was torn down by an anarchist black bloc. 30-40 then sprinted off into the base through holes cut in the permiter fence while riot cops were mobilised to push people back out of the main entrance which took about 40 mins before it was cleared. Clashes and fights between the Police "Just Doing Their Job" Guardians of The War Machine and protestors continued throughout the afternoon as they fought to keep determined anti-war protestors out of the base. Around the back of the base later on in the afternoon a wooden fence was torn down where protestors again attempted to enter the base.

A number of arrests were made.

ONLY DIRECT ACTION WILL STOP THIS WAR!!!!!!
