Oxford Tree Protest Brings Fences Down

This tree has been occupied for ten days and counting
The fence starts to go up, the protestors start to sit down
The security guards aren't delighted as activists block the fence-building...
...but passing shoppers are fascinated and a large crowd gathers
Dozens of people spontaneously join the protest, to the cops' dismay
Each fence panel becomes a battle as more people invade the square
Fun on the frontline for first-time protestors!
That piece of fencing isn't going up...
Local press and TV looked on as young protestors made their point
Victory! The Council admits defeat and takes down all the fences.
