Fairford Camp Report
Monkey Unit | 21.07.2003 13:45 | Anti-militarism | Repression
After an initial ding-dong with Glos.police who tried to move us on, we settled down to an excellent and well supported camp, with a constant presence at the main entrance to
the Air Tattoo 200 yards from Gate10 Camp. We were also opposite a camp site of
2,000 Tattoo-goers who all had to pass our friendly and banner-festooned camp with
peace songs wafting into the night.
It seemed to satisfy the police to give us parking tickets for camping on the verge, well
inside the new yellow lines so we incurred £180 fines between us for parking essential
vehicles. We have sent details to our lawyers already dealing with the original road
closure and now these new political yellow lines. Anyone wishing to make a donation to
the parking fines should make cheques to Nukewatch South and send to:
