Rafael manufactures the Spike missiles that shred through homes, schools, and hospitals in Gaza, and the Iron Dome systems that protect israels war machine while Palestinians are left defenceless under relentless bombing. These are not abstract crimes. They are happening now: Gaza is being annihilated with weapons built on our doorsteps. And when people resist, they are beaten and arrested to protect the arms trade - not innocent lives. Two others were also arrested today- all three have now been released as Northumbria Police waste more and more taxpayer money to support this horror in our toon. Every bomb dropped on Gaza is enabled by factories like this. Every SECOND we delay is another massacre. Resistance is not simply justified, it is an obligation.🔻🇵🇸".

This sub-site, contains the text and pictures from the period around the early 1970′s to the late 1990′s. The years in which my tribe developed the gatherings around the country that became the Free Festival Circuit. ’New Age Travellers’, assorted hippies, punks, urbanites , festival goers and general people then found themselves labelled as the ‘Peace Convoy’. Quite central to this life was the gathering for the summer solstice at Stonehenge. [some say Glastonbury as well]. The authorities watching some of these developments with some alarm, became increasingly belligerent and attacked these gathering with some violence. One of the more famous examples was the attack on the Peace Convoy by 1600 policemen from 5 police forces on the Wiltshire / Hampshire border. It became known as the Battle of the Beanfield and it will never ….. I say never be forgot by many of us. The following few years got increasingly unpleasent with the force and application of increasingly oppressive law … leading to the Public Order Act 1986.
