Food vans stopped a mile from Climate Camp by cops.

Vans delivering food are being stopped by the Police and forced to unload a mile from the site.

The cops are constantly saying the words "health and Safety" to justify every bit of harrassment they dish out. Yet here they are forcing dozens of people to cross a fast and busy main road carrying heavy boxes??!

Those ever helpful cops...

The dissruption to the camp and kitchens is minimal thanks to the hard work of volunteers carrying the boxes by hand and whatever means available. It is also helping to show a lot of people here quite how political the Police really are.
