Policing near the site on the other hand is light although Sipson Lane is blockaded at both ends, causing considerable annoyance to local residents. The FIT are of course making a nuisance of themselves, photographing everyone that arrives, then photographing them again if they leave. And when they come back, ad infinitum.

Maybe they should hire someone with a photographic memory instead...

Meanwhile work at the camp proceeded apace as marquees went up, toilets were built, rocket stoves fired up and several hundred people fed by the kitchen.
