Couldn't attach these to the video article so here they are instead.
A large turnout with good weather. I saw the result of three deliberate rammings by drivers, which resulted in angry confrontations. Its great to see cyclists supporting each other. Despite this the mood of the ride was exuberant. This time we were accompanied by a friendly motorcycle cop who helped with the corking and had words with several drivers. Judging by the accents there were plenty of foreign visitors joining in the ride which seems to be becoming something of a tourist attraction. There were also several impressive and powerful sound systems.
The congestion caused by drivers on Friday evening in London is atrocious. What are they all doing there? I'll say one thing though,all the red traffic lights are extremely frustrating, even to a cyclist. Maybe this accounts for the fact that so many drivers are enraged when they encounter CM.

We found out about this place after this message from a local:
Gareth Whitedog 20 March at 18:43 Report
Hi
Hope you are well.
Thought we'd give you a heads-up about a nice opportunity...
There's an old empty farmhouse behind where we live, in a couple of fields, which have been left fallow for ten years or so, and have become a bit of a wildlife haven, and even host a couple of endangered species, we think.
The owners of the land intend to build on it, and current Tory plans will make it even easier for them to do so. Nobody in the village wants that.
It occurs to us that if the farmhouse were to be squatted by some community minded people, who put it to good use, then it would make it somewhat more difficult for the building to happen, and would also give good scope for a high-profile campaign, where the media is concerned. You know, "Big-hearted eco-warriors in face-off with evil developers trying to destroy nature reserve..."
We feel pretty sure that if anyone were to do this, and they did it right, then they would probably get quite a bit of support from the local community, and they could certainly count on support from us, some of the closest neighbours.
Interested?
Here's a Google maps link to the place: http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=52.945716%2C-1.265466&spn=0.011572%2C0.033023&t=h&z=16
Let us know what you think.

Travel from Sheffield involves a train to langley mill followed by a bus to outside the entrance road.
Also Buses from derby and local area to Stapleford.
There is also much other devolopment planned for this area including devolopment of Trowell Moor for open cast mining so this area is under a lot of threat.

Compare & contrast two squares over two weekends!
03-04-2011 15:24
Trafalgar Square, London. Saturday 26th March 2011
Market Square, Nottingham Saturday 2nd April 2011
Had been to the shindig in Trafalgar Square on Saturday 26th March and the police action there. It was scarry getting pushed and shoved in front of the police lines. Then, behind the police lines, getting all sorts thrown in my direction inc. a lot of bottles. I was grateful for the donation of my shiny new hard hat!
The following Saturday, walking across Market Square in Nottingham I shared in viewing this spectacle.
Like many others there, I found it hard to believe what I was watching.
I have to say after the previous weekends stress, it offered some most welcome relief.
I compare and contrast :-)

03-04-2011 12:23
Following protests, vintage clothing and fancy dress outlet Celias on Derby road has decided to no longer sell real fur. Campaigners welcomed the move as “yet another clear message to the fur trade that animal cruelty has no place on our high streets.”
On the newswire: Celias Decides To Stop Selling Fur | Anti-fur Activists Target Derby Road Horror Shop
Previous features: Another victory for anti-fur campaigners
More than 45 million animals worldwide, including raccoons, dogs, rabbits, foxes, mink, and chinchillas, are raised in cages and killed each year for their fur. Not only are cage-raised animals killed inhumanely, but they suffer from numerous physical and behavioural abnormalities induced by the stress of caging conditions. After spending their short lives in squalid conditions, animals raised on fur farms are killed by cruel methods that preserve their pelt, such as gassing, neck-breaking and anal electrocution.
Some are even skinned alive.
Fur farming is illegal in the UK and unfashionable in most of the world but there are still a number of enterprises that will do anything to make money regardless of the suffering caused.

The Interim Transitional National Council (TNC) was not officially able to participate in the conference held on Libya at London’s Lancaster House on Tuesday due to differences within the war coalition over support for the anti-Gaddafi leadership. However, Washington and London made clear their backing for what is being groomed as Libya’s government-in-waiting—once, that is, the military onslaught against the country has achieved its desired objective of regime change.UK Uncut need to think about data security

MICHAEL'S IN THE DOCK FOR US, WE'RE ON THE LOOSE FOR HIM!As was the case with Gulf War 1, more serious resistance to the present wars on Afghanistan and Iraq has come from within the military in the United States & Britain than from the anti-war movements in civil society. A culture of solidarity is not evident in either countries anti-war movements.
