MOD police anxious to tell people how to "stay safe"
Lindis gets her message across
Armed MOD officers look on
Lindis arrested, in the van, Anni carries on
Menwith Hill is the most secret US base in Britain. It's unaccountable, unlawful and undemocratic. It's integral to US plans to fight in and through space. It's the world's largest spy base and it's getting bigger.
Every Tuesday, between 6 and 8 pm there is a peaceful vigil outside the main gate focussed on the people who work at the base. Through the bitter winter months veteran campaigners Lindis Percy and Anni Rainbow have often been there alone, making people entering and leaving the base aware that their presence is questioned. Reports of these vigils can be read here:

This week the vigil was joined by people from Sheffield and Rotherham including a samba contingent from Rhythms of Resistance Sheffield. After about an hour Lindis Percy was arrested for allegedly blocking the road. Tonight's charge brings the number of cases against Lindis to 32 – these are due to be heard by District Judge Anderson on 7th April at Harrogate Magistrates' Court.

I say Lets Fu**ing HEAR it for Lindis and Anni. To be there almost every week for nearly five years takes some defiant conviction and committment and I think its bloody marvellous that theyre "mad" enough to want to and be able to be there so often.
More power and more peace to em. Jolly well done the Sheffield and Rotherham lot....and to the Yorks CNDers and the Quakers who have strongly supported over the years too.
The day will come when those great space balls will fall.
Love and best.
Part time Pete.
