the start of the blockade just after 7am
detention staff and managers arrive to be told they can have the day off
confused cops and G4S managers
inside, security guards seem confused too
more police and the first 'intelligence gatherer' arrive
the blockade and the blocked gate
WH Tours coach stuck inside with deportees on board
inside, detainees could reportedly hear the solidarity chants and slogans outsid
hours pass and police don't do much, save filming and intimidating people
the blockade goes on
and on
one protesters is taken away for having a piss; others had to do it in bottles!
down the road, a police 'check point' prevents journalists from reaching protest
around 1pm, police warn protesters to leave or be arrested for trespass
some choose to leave and are escorted out of the airport area
while cutting equipment is prepared to remove the blockade

so what do we do now, sir?
gather some 'intelligence' first
and more 'intelligence'
and more
this one was pretty intelligent
still from a distance
now we should get some close-ups
and figure out how they've done this bloody thing
then call shitloads of cops to undo it
an intelligence gathering
