Peat works shut down for 3 days

An action was planned to coin­cide with the EF! Gath­er­ing at the start of August.
A group of about 30 peo­ple head­ed off to the peat works after anoth­er action against prison labour in sol­i­dar­i­ty with Mark Barns­ley.

The action was announced in the morn­ing meet­ing at the gath­er­ing, and when we arrived police (with hors­es) had occu­pied the works. Speak­ing to work­ers after the event we were told that the police had claimed that 100 vio­lent anar­chists had planned to come and destroy the works.

How­ev­er this was our most suc­cess­ful action to date, because an advert on a board claim­ing we would be going back on Mon­day after the gath­er­ing caused the police to shut down the works for 3 days and leave 300 police there for the whole of that peri­od.
