update

police in huge numbers, including silver commander, came hurtling from the BAA seige to the BA depot. Suport team cleared away, lockers on removed and nicked by about 22.10. The shift of cops releived the pressure at BAA which is reported to have a good party vibe going into the night.

blockade was in place four hours - all released without charge

20.08.2007 17:57

The eight blockaders just got back to the camp after being held at Staines police station from 1am until 2.30pm this afternoon. The blockade was in place from 8.30pm Sunday evening until a quarter past midnight, when the last blockader was moved from the road. The freight center that was blockaded handles exotic frozen foods flown in from around the world to be distributed to the supermarkets. Amongst the many lorries backing up we spotted Sainsbury's, Aldi and Farm Foods.

The protest highlighted the insanity of flying food into this country - clocking up airmiles and destroying our local economies. The banner encouraged people: "Enjoy local food"

Silver command arrested people initially under Section 68 (Aggravated Trespass). This afternoon all were released without charge and with no further action taken. Nice one!
