The Dale Farm eviction was the first large time that a large group of settled and traveling people worked together to resist an eviction.  At a talk in the Space Project on Wednesday the 2nd in Leeds some of the settled people who went to support give an account of their time at Dale Farm.  There was then a phone interview with Perl who is one of the Irish Travelers at Dale Farm. 

The first speaker talked about the long legal pcoess and building up friendships with the people living at Dale Farm.  Then ending with a discription of the eviction where inculding the police climbing bashing protester's heads against scaffold. (~12 mins long)
Next is an explaination of the legal aspects and planning laws.  The laws were such that there were two sisters who lived at Dale Farm where one had to remove her caravan but the hardcore the caravan was on could stay and the other could stay but would have to live on a muddy hole in the ground. (4 mins)
Pearl from Dale Farm explains her fellings about the supporters.  Is very grateful and thankful for all the support that the residents at Dale Farm had and how Camp Constant cheered her. (~15 mins)
