This is wrong! There's still people there. Only 4 people have been arrested at one of the sites from the tree's and a tunnel. Theres still 3 other well defended sites. The bailiffs only started this morning. They're having a laugh if they think it will be as easy as one day.

I presume this is either cops or bailiffs trying to persuade people not to go. If this is the kind of pathetic pranks they're lowering too, it shows how much they don't want any more folk at Dalkieth. Get down there and show these planet trashers where to shove their diggers!
