riot cops and baliffs eviction travellers

Bulkington was the scene of a famous resistance eviction in January, when travellers behind a giant banner which read STOP ETHNIC CLEANSING and also behind a massive burning barricade stop the baliffs and cops from evicting the site. The travellers own the land, they are being evicted because they do not have planning permission to place their caravans on the land. More than 90% of applications ,made by travellers get turned down. Yesterday the evening standard carried a seriously racist article about the crays hill traveller site in Billericay Essex, the day before the Daily Mail carried an equally hateful article.
The forces of reaction are coming down heavy on travller because they value their freedom and refuse to live boxed in.
Support your local travellers!!!
Get down yer local site.
Get in touch with Nuneaton Council
Let them know we have no time for ethnic cleansing
