Did anyone else see them setting up camp on Priory Crescent last night?
If you actually look at their map 'Camp Bling' is shown as being in the Lookers Car Showroom[b said:Quote[/b] (Firestorm @ Oct. 11 2005,09:12)]07817 182394 (Site number )
Try ringing in the middle of the night !!
How about promising some supplies , then ringing back and saying you couldn't deliver them because the traffic was too bad !

I have no problem with legal protest, but:-[b said:Quote[/b] (Ron Manager @ Oct. 07 2005,22:50)]Going to play devil's advocate here - what real harm are they doing? I've said it before but as someone who grew up visiting Priory Park as a kid I am a little saddened that part of it will be lost to a widened road. Yes I concede that it is most probably a neccesary evil but these protestors obviously don't agree with that viewpoint...and are entitled to protest all they want (we as a country have fought wars to protect that right in the past after all).
maybe that where the original burial came from.. some saxon king objecting to the new horse track dual carrige way going through his land protested by digging in.. unfortunatly being pre human rights the viking contracters just built it right over his head...[b said:Quote[/b] (londonblue @ Oct. 11 2005,11:13)]b) the longer they are given the harder it will be for the council to get rid of them when the time comes. They may well do what has been done at other sites in the past and bury themselves underground etc.
You may have a point there![b said:Quote[/b] (CANV @ Oct. 11 2005,12:53)]maybe that where the original burial came from.. some saxon king objecting to the new horse track dual carrige way going through his land protested by digging in.. unfortunatly being pre human rights the viking contracters just built it right over his head...[b said:Quote[/b] (londonblue @ Oct. 11 2005,11:13)]b) the longer they are given the harder it will be for the council to get rid of them when the time comes.

I have no problems with people sticking by their beliefs and protesting. Its when misinformation is fed to people to get their support (as in Save priory park...get real it is not going anywhere)[b said:Quote[/b] (The Artful Shrimper @ Oct. 13 2005,09:21)]I actually admire them. One day the powers that be could be building a flyover through your kids favourite park or bulldozing football pitches for a new asylum centre. These chaps will be there to protest on your behalf, and with the pleasure of my benefits.
My grandad single handedly stopped a housing development in Dagenham by refusing to move to sheltered housing "War hero brings down the council" said the headlines.
The only thing worse than protesting for your beliefs is being silent in them.
