bailifs expected @ 9am - will we live to see our palestine solidarity action?

Camden Town wakes up this morning to find Autonomüs :Lab Resistance and Rebellion eviing up to face the bailiffs and the police. People managed to paint 6 banners thru the night, some way colourful, way WAY WAY.

One reads."your comunity is ill - come together" another "we dont need permission to be free" another "cars oil war - comunity equality diversity ecology" ..mmmm .. bit strange to explain, but it willl make sense when you see it, and you will - as they will not let them go! - ...if you come down to the events they plan or join the colective to work on their ongoing projects, as the long last minute banner reads, " we are not going anywhere".

for many in camden, a first shot at preparing for a confrontation-al action they worked in the wall for the palestine solidarity action that they'll stage later today. by six in the morn the helmets werent dry, but the bazooka was, and the ak 47s, the grenades and the mad indian bomber. they made pistols, misiles asault rifles, and confetty, cooked and drank coffee and smoked and talked and talked and worked,and, appart from the usual episode or two of camden town weirdeness, everyone had a good time.

now we hang the banners and barricade. and wait, music turned way up, in alegre rebeldia.

see u around

Comrades,
We are very sorry for taking long to give you feed back of the Eviction as we have been waiting for the Photos and video footage

9:00am
Its all raining and the Autonomous Army is on standby. Four commanders position themselves on the roof to reck the enemy. One Commander patrols behind the line. One Company Takes position inside the autonomous lab. Four companies Take Position infront of the lab.

9:10am
Undercover piglet sneaks on one of the commanders and moans that "all this is a waste of time". Info is transmitted to the first company that the pigs have arrived. We decide to ignore the first piglet.The piglet decides to join other three under-cover pigs that were waiting 200 meters away. It continues to rain!!

9:30am
We receive a message relay from the watch tower that the pig van is coming. We take position and the Pigs don't even come near but park 50 meters away and play a waiting game.

9:55am
We receive inteligence that the pigs are trying to use the next building to storm our lines from the back-rare. We all laugh and start singing.

10:05am
The pigs seem to be confused and a second Van arrives and decides to desert its fellow pigs. Pigs seem not to have a plan B

10:30am
Our delegate arrives and gives us the good news.
"The pigs have decided to give up as there's no enough pigs on the farm but the landlord is a christian and willing to negotiate with the collective after a one month period"

10:20am
The Lab is officialy reclaimed by the autonomous Army.

We are open and we are to screen the action this friday.
Thanks for the generous solidarity that we received from soldiers of all color
