Occupy London being evicted now

The police have moved quickly after the ruling in the High Court this morning and are already at the camp breaking tents and hurting people.
Following the lack of our appeal today the police have reacted immediately and begun their expected violent attack on the camp. There are about 200 of them with some special Ford Transist vehicles that have a grab on an arm that is being used to pick up tents. Tripods that had been put up this morning were pulled down with one falling on a young woman causing bruising to her arm.
Legal observers are preparing reports and taking photos of the violence

The police video teams under the guise of recording the eviction are closely filming all the people with extreme close-ups and even recording inside tents (illegal ? - who knows).
A group of City types are standing around nearby and jeering which the police are simply ignoring even though it is clearly upsetting some of the camp. When one woman confronted them she was warned by the police !!!!
The special police 'cherry picker' vans are dumping all the tents into one open pick up truck and not letting people sort out their belongings or clothes. The police are claiming it will be returned later this week.
As I write this the last of the 'lock-on' has been cut and the people moved on.
