Enfield Council violently attacks eco-warriors and a bloodbath is possible

Reverend Peter Nichols | 15.12.2012 18:39 | Climate Chaos | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | London | World

A terrible atrocity occurred at our site in Enfield north London England, on Thursday 13 December when a small army of Enfield Council officials, police officers, and large men wearing black clothing and balaclavas stormed into our home and started dragging thousands of pounds worth of vehicles out into the street.

Without any warning whatever our attackers chopped the lock off the gate, ripped the fence down, and in spite of our efforts to stop them they rushed onto the site and were rude, abusive, intimidating, threatening, and they even physically assaulted some of us who ended up injured and bleeding.
Enfield Council officials who did not give their names presented us with a "warrant" to enter the property to "fully ascertain the untidy state and environmental impact of the said premises," but there is no name or signature on the warrant, no address of the court, and no court stamp, and we believe the "warrant" IS A FORGERY.

We are living in fear, alert and ready for another attack and hardly sleeping, on our site in Enfield now that Enfield Council has threatened to seize up to FIFTY MORE VEHICLES many of which belong to a children's charity which ships them to Africa to help build a school in Gambia.
Enfield Council claims that they have the legal right to seize all our vehicles without warning, and with masked men wearing balaclavas, because some of the cars and trucks have no tax and have not been registered as "off road" with the DVLA.

The Enfield Council "warrant" has no signature apart from a scribble above the words "JUSTICE OF THE PEACE" and on Monday my barrister will phone the "North London Local Justice Area sitting at Totten ham (c2572)" IF SUCH A PLACE EXISTS (no address or phone number) and ask if the "warrant” is genuine.
The Enfield Council "warrant" authorises entry to the land "on one occasion only within the period of one month from the date... for the purposes set out above," but this has been CROSSED OUT and there are scribbled initials WHICH ARE NOT THE SAME AS THE INITIALS OF THE "JUSTICE OF THE PEACE"

If my barrister, one of the most respected, eminent, and reputable barristers in Britain, discovers that the Enfield Council "warrant" is a forgery I will ask him to immediately report this as serious crimes to senior police officers at Scotland Yard and make an accusation of fraud, deception, breaking and entering, theft, and assault, against Enfield Council
If the "warrant" is genuine then I will ask my barrister to file an immediate appeal against it on the grounds that it was not served on us, and it is not stamped with a court stamp, and it has been altered by an unauthorised person who is NOT the Justice of the Peace who signed it with scribbled initials and NO NAME, ADDRESS, OR CONTACT NUMBER!

Enfield Council officials accused us of committing "criminal offences" and they said they would charge us with our "crimes" if we did not obey them and agree to their demands, which they say they will present us with on Tuesday or Wednesday, BUT THEY ARE NOT THE POLICE!
The alteration to the "warrant" means that Enfield Council COULD RETURN AT ANY TIME and attack us again, and there is a risk that this could escalate into a BLOODBATH OF VIOLENCE never ever seen before on sites occupied by peaceful working class eco-warriors, and I am doing everything I can do to try to stop this from happening.

Where we live in Enfield is where most of the stabbings of teenagers on the streets occur, and where the TOTTENHAM RIOTS BEGAN and there is an uneasy sense of anger and horror building up here again as word spreads of the recent suicides and other tragedies being blamed on the Tory government and the Tory Enfield Council.
Personally I could not live with myself if I stand by and let Enfield Council abuse me, assault me, intimidate me, and humiliate me again in front of friends, police officers, and staring passers-by while they laughed in my face and STOLE VALUABLE VEHICLES from a children's charity which is building a school in Gambia.

We have strengthened the fence on our site and we are ready for another attack AT ANY TIME BY ENFIELD COUNCIL, but next time I will stop them from illegally breaking into my home BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, including sacrificing my life if that is what happens when I defend myself in accordance with the law.
On a lighter note I have been working on promoting a proposal that there should be CANDLELIT VIGILS THIS CHRISTMAS all over the world in every town and village and city everywhere on the earth, in loving memory of all the WOMEN AND CHILDREN who have lost their lives in wars and other atrocities committed by the evil Bilderberg Group of banks, corporations, governments, and local councils

Is the corrupt Enfield Council insane?

15.12.2012 19:14

The corrupt Enfield Council officials who appear to be working for a wealthy property developer must be insane to think that they can get away with treating us the way they have.
They have been calling us "gypsies" and they probably think we are too stupid and illiterate to be able to take any action against them, but if I can I will get them charged and sent to prison for their crimes.
This time they have gone too far and they will have to kill me to stop me from exposing them and making sure they get the justice they deserve.
Friends in the network of squats, social centres, and sound systems are up in arms and young people in this area who have been training in self defence to protect themselves on the streets are offering their support.
Let's hope there's no bloodbath here again in Enfield and this all ends peacefully, but at the moment it looks like a powder keg that could explode into massive violence again at any time.
We are living in fear now of Enfield Council, but some of us are prepared to die for freedom, justice, and democracy, because why else did we fight the Nazis if not to be free from these kind of people?

good luck

>> A terrible atrocity occurred
You got raided. An atrocity is something that happened in WW2. Big, big difference.


>> Without any warning whatever our attackers chopped the lock off the gate, ripped the fence down, and in spite of our efforts to stop them they rushed onto the site and were rude, abusive, intimidating, threatening, and they even physically assaulted some of us who ended up injured and bleeding.

Probably shouldn't of tried to stop them then. They are operating within the law to conduct a search.


>> Enfield Council officials who did not give their names presented us with a "warrant" to enter the property to "fully ascertain the untidy state and environmental impact of the said premises," but there is no name or signature on the warrant, no address of the court, and no court stamp, and we believe the "warrant" IS A FORGERY.

They don't need to give their names. They police do.
The warrant doesn't need those things. It needs an address, not a name. It will have a name of a court, it doesn't need address of the court. It doesn't need a stamp.


>> Enfield Council claims that they have the legal right to seize all our vehicles without warning, and with masked men wearing balaclavas, because some of the cars and trucks have no tax and have not been registered as "off road" with the DVLA.

You should of registered them "off road" with the DVLA. It is illegal not to. This is clearly stated in the renewal notice.


>> The Enfield Council "warrant" has no signature apart from a scribble above the words "JUSTICE OF THE PEACE"
That is probably a signature. (re: below)..... you are confusing a signature for 'initials' -- they are the same thing if someone's signature looks like initials.


>> and on Monday my barrister will phone the "North London Local Justice Area sitting at Totten ham (c2572)" IF SUCH A PLACE EXISTS (no address or phone number) and ask if the "warrant” is genuine.

You will find it exists. You will find the warrant is genuine. Trying to pretend it isn't will last about 48hours until then, so you got 48 hours to kid yourself.


>> The Enfield Council "warrant" authorises entry to the land "on one occasion only within the period of one month from the date... for the purposes set out above," but this has been CROSSED OUT and there are scribbled initials WHICH ARE NOT THE SAME AS THE INITIALS OF THE "JUSTICE OF THE PEACE"

Thats because someone else signed that part. Or, it is the same person signing but you are assuming it is a different signature. My signature often looks different too.


>> If my barrister, one of the most respected, eminent, and reputable barristers in Britain, discovers that the Enfield Council "warrant" is a forgery I will ask him to immediately report this as serious crimes to senior police officers at Scotland Yard and make an accusation of fraud, deception, breaking and entering, theft, and assault, against Enfield Council

If they discover it isn't a forgery then you will be unable to make any of those accusations.


>> If the "warrant" is genuine then I will ask my barrister to file an immediate appeal against it on the grounds that it was not served on us, and it is not stamped with a court stamp, and it has been altered by an unauthorised person who is NOT the Justice of the Peace who signed it with scribbled initials and NO NAME, ADDRESS, OR CONTACT NUMBER!

To which they will reply: "So what? - go and learn the law buddy."


>> Enfield Council officials accused us of committing "criminal offences" and they said they would charge us with our "crimes" if we did not obey them and agree to their demands, which they say they will present us with on Tuesday or Wednesday, BUT THEY ARE NOT THE POLICE!

No they are not the police. But they are doing their job which is to do that shit.
Trading standards arn't the police either, but they work with the police and do people.


>> The alteration to the "warrant" means that Enfield Council COULD RETURN AT ANY TIME and attack us again, and there is a risk that this could escalate into a BLOODBATH OF VIOLENCE never ever seen before on sites occupied by peaceful working class eco-warriors, and I am doing everything I can do to try to stop this from happening.

Bloodbath! Are you sure? I think you are trying to "sex this up" a bit arn't you for effect :)


>> Personally I could not live with myself if I stand by and let Enfield Council abuse me, assault me, intimidate me, and humiliate me again in front of friends, police officers, and staring passers-by while they laughed in my face and STOLE VALUABLE VEHICLES from a children's charity which is building a school in Gambia.

If you follow the law. Ie. either pay road tax or declare the vehicles off road, then you will have no problems. Stop breaking the law and then complaing when you get caught.


>> We have strengthened the fence on our site and we are ready for another attack AT ANY TIME BY ENFIELD COUNCIL, but next time I will stop them from illegally breaking into my home BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY,

Uh-huh. Really?


>> including sacrificing my life if that is what happens when I defend myself in accordance with the law.

Doesn't sound like you are defending yourself in accordance with the law at all. You are making assumptions about the warrant which are totally unfounded as yet. So in the meantime - if you sacrifice your life by breaking the law then you are an idiot.

It Exists

15.12.2012 20:15

"The Enfield Council "warrant" has no signature apart from a scribble above the words "JUSTICE OF THE PEACE" and on Monday my barrister will phone the "North London Local Justice Area sitting at Totten ham (c2572)" IF SUCH A PLACE EXISTS "

Yeah it exists. For the record: Camden, Islington, Enfield and Haringey combined as North London Local Justice Area. And there is a website:  http://www.northlondonlja.com/

So you're wrong about that for starters. Unless you are going to start accusing the web-site of being 'fake' too (...face-palms).

There it is


Enfield Council has started World War Three

15.12.2012 20:53

Although it burned my throat as it went down your brutal frankness has alerted me to the fact that World War Three could be about to begin at any moment here in Enfield, started by Enfield Council.
Your only mistake is in thinking that I have a personal interest in the vehicles and that i am responsible for them which I am not, but I do live here and I was attacked physically and threatened and assaulted, and all I was doing was legal observing with a video camera.
Nobody tried to stop the Enfield Council Nazi fascists from storming OUR HOME which the "warrant" refers to as "land" but which is actually enclosed premises with buildings where we live and which would require a proper court hearing if the council wanted to come in.
Why didn't they knock?
Some of my friends were injured trying to salvage their PERSONAL POSSESSIONS from living vehicles where people are living and making their homes which is legal under the law.
The Human Rights Act does not allow anyone to take your home and your personal possessions off you by violence.
You appear to be correct in most of what you say and I thank you for pointing these things out to me but that will not stop friends over whom I have no control from reacting to all the atrocities that have been occurring not just here in Enfield but all over the country and all over the world, and I do not see a peaceful conclusion to this war by the rich against the poor ending in any other way than a terrible bloodbath far worse than anything ever seen before.
There were peaceful protests in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria... and look what they turned into and now Britain is beginning to go the same way.
What has just happened to us in Enfield where a children's charity has been deprived of its life blood of vehicles worth thousands of pounds which would have been spent on building a school in Gambia, is nothing compared to what is happening to other people but it is an example of the atrocities and I make no apology for using this word.
Just look at the news headlines and the television every single day when the most vulnerable people in the world (women and children) are being slaughtered mindlessly by a political and economic system that is completely OUT OF CONTROL, destroying the planet and killing the whole of humanity as a result of the burning of fossil fuels.
I'm offline now so thanks again and I'll see you in hell because my life is almost over now.
I don't care if they

Council seizing vehicles?

17.12.2012 16:56

In one of your articles, you mention that Enfield Council seized some vehicles from your property.
Would you mind clarifiying a few details for me ad the other readers please.
1) Were the vehicles registered to you or your organisation?
2) Were the vehicles owned by you or your organisation?
3) Why did you not act sooner to stop this happening? (various correspondance would have been sent before the power to seize was granted)
