Yesterday, Monday the 13th of December, Constant and Co.s office in Bedford was picketed by Gypsy Travellers and their supporters to protest their violent eviction of sites. Banners reading 'Constant and Co bully Gypsys' and 'Constant and Co: Paid to destroy homes' were put up in front of the building and leaflets talking about the upcoming eviction of Woodside and the amount of homeless Gypsies were given out. The police were unusully civil and the public were interested, there doesn't seem to be that many demonstrations in Bedford. Some people stopped to complain about their own problems with bailiffs and show support. One man said he'd never noticed the office before, but now he had he'd know where to go the next time he got evicted. One man (suspected bailiff) started to make his way to the office, but turned and ran when he saw our (very peaceful) demo.
At the least we embarressed Mr Bryan Constant for a few hours, who stayed inside working.
This was the first step, we arn't going to leave Constant and Co in peace to do their shameful work any longer.
