More disturbances on my road in Stokes Croft last night and today. Not entirely sure why or what they were about this time. What I do know is that we have been trapped in our own home all day and have been threatened verbally and with missiles by the people on the roof of the squat who were being evicted. To quote a friend:
"I feel the protesters have done more damage to the area than a Tesco Metro ever could. I know the arguments about globalisation blah blah but this is over the top! I don’t agree with the police tactics and heavy handed way they are evicting the squat, and Tesco haven’t helped themselves with their bullying tactics, but this is no longer about the wishes of local people, but the ego of outside agitators!"
Couldn't have put it better myself.
