Sometime during the busy day of policing the camp, an officer dropped a so called 'Pocket Legislation Guide on Policing Protest'. The document, issued by the National Extremism Tactical Coordination Unit (also known as NETCU) gives an overview of legislation the police can use to stifle all forms of legitimate protest. The document was subsequently posted on UK Indymedia by a camper attending the Climate Camp and supposedly isn't for public consumption. See articles: [1] [2] or download full document (PDF).

Campaigners battling plans for an open cast mine on the edge of Telford today unfurled banners across one of Shropshire’s busiest roads. Members of Wrekin Stop War and Wrekin Anarchist Group are bidding to catch the attention of motorists travelling on the M54 past Telford and are calling for them to join their protests. See article.

Riot police have entered the Climate Camp site again. Officers forced their way in through two gates and claim to be 'patrolling the site'. Protesters are attempting to move the police off by forming a line with hands in the air. Officers who emerged from one of the fences have been forced to retreat (off the site).

Police took down part of the fencing dividing the neighboring land and the camp and came in through the breach. Helicopter flying overhead, people up in tripods. Still approx 40 police in the south east part of the field, but have been stopped at a line of campers half way between their breach point and the camp itself. No arrests so far. It seems people refuse to be provoked. Campers continue to arrive as normal, workshops continue also.
