Whilst the stand off was taking place re-inforcements in the shape of the Tactical Support Group - popularly known as the riot police - were brought it to "restore order".

Penny - formerly Camp police liason officer until she resigned yesterday in disgust at their attitide - decided to do some real police liason and superglued herself to the gates to prevent their entry.

Sipson Lane - the only access to the site - was sealed off under some C19th century statute under the orders of the C21st Sir Ian Blair. Nobody was allowed to even walk towards the camp.

But at 20.25 a police car sped out of the Sipson village end containing some police Top Brass - unconfirmed as Gold Command - after allegedly sounding off about the FIT unauthorised raid.

Shortly afterwards we were allowed to walk towards the camp, where we found Penny still glued to the gates. At 21.13 police announced she was free - and then bundled her into a van and took her away.
