Hi folks Just askin to see who was at Newbury By-pass. I was on security for Pinkertons for 18 months then they found out i was passing on information to my protesting brothers and sisters. I was mainly at compounds 9,10,11, & 12 mostly 10-10a. I couldn't understand why it took them 18 months to find me out and request that i left. As a red hat(team leader) I used to on ocasion let the site be hit..OOPS they didn't like that......
yeehaa though was only 12 at time...live just out of newbury. hehe treehouses rock love daisyness xxx
Loved every second of it . getting one over on the Highway agency and my bosses..I started in Aug 96. I miss the chats andother stuff i used te get upto with the protesters though
i remember it well....i was a kid at the time, but i remember it on the news and stuff.... i know this guy now who was there at the time, and he swears that swampy was a media whore...haha
in the mid 90s the government decided to rip appart the outskirts of newbury and build a 10 mile By-pass-, that has added to the traffic problem not eased it. for years the protesters gave the gov a good fight.it was THE THIRD BATTLE of NEWBURY.A mass battle broke out on Jan 11-1997 this marked the aniversary of the newbury fight.I was on the inside as a security officer/team leader passing information to the protesters. the company took 18 months to realise this before i was no longer working for them.....If you search fo newbury or newbury by-pass you will find more info
SPYDER..the protesters had a training camp in the black mountains can you ask ya mate if he knows if it is still going...Whats ya mates name? tell him i was on compound 10 the day snellmore camp was invaded. this was accross the road from the protesters tunnel. they had a car full of broken mirrors all over it
i was huggin the tree mr iceman. i was caught holding it and now it is my signature picture. *sniffles* I have a cold. oh, the tree's called Harry. cars irritate me.
i remember this. I wanted to go but my mum said it was far to dangerous. My mums a bit of a cow really but i guess i would have been 11 :s *shrug* since then ive been dieing to do something like that... only the tuneling would kill me as i have terrible clostraphobia. :S
bet i would. Faslane was one experiance but fighting for a forest and living with the trees would be a totally different matter
the hardest part for me was being on the inside looking out . being on the security and not showing how i felt . but it took them 18 months before finding out i was passing on all the info. there was a couple other lads doing it as well
