The police operation to arrest 400 people on their way to Stonehenge was justified as a court order had been passed banning the holding of a festival at Stonehenge in 1985! The police also gave the new age travellers the chance to come out of the field they were camped in peacefully but they refused after hours of negotiations. So the police had no option but to go in in riot gear to evict the travellers from the field which was private land and which they did not have permission to be in.

Actually the Police have no right to evict people from private land - it is up to the landowner.

Also the Police don't have a right to beat people up nor to trash their homes.

The Police behaved very badly that day and ought to have been prosecuted for their crimes

Your knowledge of law and as it goes knowledge of history leave a lot to be desired! Give it up!

The Stonehenge Peace Process - a local issue with global ramifications
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I have booked the function room on Wed April 6th at 2pm at the George Hotel, Amesbury, Wiltshire for a meeting to revive the work of The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) For Stonehenge and related Issues. To heal the divisions in our culture by all parties acknowledging the facts, the issues and seeking to find a way forward encompassing all points of view.

You are invited and encouraged to attend and to participate fully in this process – there is a regular bus service to Amesbury from Salisbury.

The TRC has been dormant since George Firsoff’s illness and subsequent death, yet many issues remain to be addressed and resolved.

** All of this below is my personal point of view and does not necessarily represent the views of anyone else on the TRC or The Round Table **

This is the 20th anniversary of the “Beanfield” and the issues have not gone anywhere.

While I totally understand that there were issues and attitudes present 20 years ago during the Stonehenge Free Festival period that negatively impacted the local community – It is my opinion that the response by the authorities at the time and the continued suppression of the culture was and still is “over the top” and is counterproductive to the culture at large, stifling creativity and self sufficiency. Marginalising so many, who could and would be productive members of our society, squandering a whole generation of possibility.

It is my assertion that we, the culture of celebration are as repressed and denied our freedom to gather freely and celebrate in community as we were 20 years ago and that it is only our fear of the consequences of asserting our basic human right to gather peacefully to celebrate our lives, and our willingness to co operate and engage in negotiation that prevents another Beanfield type of confrontation re-occurring.

Yet the culture is diminished and marginalized more and more as the mentality of “total control” takes root in our society, using the guise of “health and safety” to justify the violation of our fundamental rights and disrespecting our ability to organize ourselves in a responsible manner

Travelers now once more are being squeezed to the very edges of our society using their current lifestyle, that which is a result of the violent smashing of their festival culture in 1985, the subsequent outlawing of the gatherings that sustained them and the traumatising of an entire generation by the outrageous “Battle of the Beanfield” operation.

All of us are potentially “the Travelers” all of us who do not subscribe to the 9-5 rigid sterile, corporate mentality. And who really does? – Who is really happy with the direction that our society is taking? – Even those whose job it is to enforce the rules. Our children are growing up in a toxic wasteland, blown to pieces, used as pawns in some dysfunctional global power struggle.

War is a result of collective dissatisfaction – the lack of fun/celebration creates complaint and complaint always find a home, a target – collective complaint creates a war culture and here we are again at war.

Fear of the festival … Fear of freedom … Fear of Fun … Fear of the flowering of the human race.
Fear breeding fear breeding fear, recycling, feeding back over and over through self justification with no sound basis other than fear itself.

This why Stonehenge is important, it has become a crucible, a metaphor for all the issues facing our culture. It has also become an opportunity for the resolution of these issues. All the “players” are sitting at the table – “The Round Table” that manages the Stonehenge Solstice Access. Police, government, security culture, English Heritage, The National Trust, Pagans Druids, Hippies, Travelers, young and old from all points of the cultural compass

HERE WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE CONVERSATION – THE VALUES THAT CREATE OUR CULTURE

** Once again -all of this is my personal point of view and does not necessarily represent the views of anyone else on the TRC or The Round Table **

So .. Come if you can and get involved in this exciting process and see where we can take it.

The meeting is in the function room on Wed April 6th at 2pm the George Hotel, Amesbury, Wiltshire – buses from Salisbury,
The meeting is called to revive the work of The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) For Stonehenge and related Issues. To heal the divisions in our culture through all parties acknowledging the facts, the issues and seeking to find a way forward encompassing all points of view.

Yes, 20 years of the "Anti Social Behavior" of The Criminal Justice Act begins to bear fruit

The kids are not going to take it any more - they tried to party and they got attacked, play music they got arrested, dance they got gassed like vermin

They said NO to war and they got sent out to kill and torture, to violate all the values that they were told were true.

We are sitting on a powder keg

The Human spirit can only be kept down for so long - there is a fine line between a riot and a party/celebration - riot happens when celebration is repressed.

This is a wake up call to those of you who assume authority for you to take responsibility for what you have created in your blindness and intolerance -
If you want respect you have to show respect not beat people up and punish them for being human, expecting that to teach respect

The only way to teach anything is by example.

Respect the kids, let them have their lives, their music, their wild celebrations.

The current path is spiralling into a hell that will make the mods and rockers and the Beanfield look like the magic roundabout - The kids will break out of the cultural stagnation as they did in the 60's only this time they do not have love and peace in their minds.
