Dale Farm locks on against eviction

Hun­dreds of peo­ple are gath­ered to resist the evic­tion of part of the Dale Farm trav­eller site which is due to begin today.

Defences that have been built over months have been strength­ened with sev­er­al sup­port­ers are now locked on to con­crete bar­rels and to dif­fer­ent parts of the gate bar­ri­cades with d‑locks around their necks. Vehi­cles and even a wash­ing machine are being used to block the main gate and a huge amount of press and tv are at the site.
