Climate Camp Woman superglues herself to gate.

As a result of resistance to the allegedly unauthorised raid ( http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/08/378258.html) the TSG - popularly known as the riot squad - assembled outside the gate to "restore order".

For the duration Sipson Road - the only access to the site - was blockaded by police under an early C19th statute invoked by the C21st commissioner Sir Ian Blair.

At around 8.25 a car containing some police Top Brass - unconfirmed reports claim it was "Gold Command" - swept out of the Sipson end of the blockade and the road was re-opened.

Walking towards the camp we came across Penny - until yesterday the camp's police liason officer until resigning in disgust at their intransigence - who'd decided to engage in some real police liason and block their entrance by supergluing herself to the gates.

At around 9.15 police declared her "free" - and promptly bundled her into a police van.
