soon after the start of the blockade

Serco and G4S security guards look surprised and confused

detention staff arrive to be told they can have the day off

the blockade

the blocks

this one was decorated

IFIR banner

stop mass deportations

a truck is brought to block the road further!

Colnbrook's manager talks to the police

after which they get tea and coffee (a bribe?)

police let cars through using the grass and pavement

the blockade goes on

Section 14 of POA is applied and protesters are moved to other side of the road

police cutting team arrives

and block the view with their vans to prevent us from seeing and filming

how do we cut this bloody thing?

they had to use different equipment due to the mixed nature of the lock-ons

the first lock is cut after about half an hour and the pair are arrested

the second one, better made, took longer (about 50m)

the third arrest was quite violent

as so was the forth

enough space was cleared for the coaches to get through

and so they did immediately, around 12:45pm

two Woodcock coaches and one WH Tours, protesters shout in anger and sadness

the last pair decide to release themselves after the coaches had left

but they still got arrested, of course
