MORE RIOTING AND BURNING BARRICADES IN BRISTOL – WELCOME TO WEDDING DAY UK
Rioting still going on at 4am in Cheltenham Road/St.Pauls Bristol. Much more of a local youth uprising this time. More reports later. What a great start to wedding day. I love the fact that the Bristol Evening post is still running ‘Peaceful Protest called off’ this morning – look out the windows guys and smell the burning barricades. You’ll see in this clip why bottle banks are so useful!

Runing battles all the way up cheltenham road as far as the new sainsburys.. lots of horse charges met with street furniture…..
and back in st pauls Burning baricades on brigstoke road. Youth of all flavours turning out to give the filth a good belt. Police obviously a bit shy in our neighbourhoods.
None of us give a fuck about the cops, the royals or tesco. Cant realy beive that this week even though faced with our local Filth, unlike last weeks Welsh mob. The people of bristol, yet again managed to show them what we think of them.
That copper chopper is still out (hope your all safe out there)
Got to sleep now

PATRICK MACROIDAN ARRESTED BY ROYAL WEDDING COPS
Looks like a second wave of arrests is underway tonight to keep people out of the way tomorrow. Chris Knight and Camilla arrested for breach of the peace at house in Brockley where Patrick was also arrested in full executioner garb! Whole farcical police operation captured on you tube. I think all three are being held at Lewisham police station till wedding is over.
Patrick Macroidan – known to many as THE EXECUTIONER on anti-royal events and arrested on the M’AM action in 2002 – has been arrested tonight by police. Patrick phoned me to tell me of his arrest and cunningly left his phone on during the arrest – so i have the entire arrest on my answer phone message. Anyone know how to get it online? As far as I can make out patrick has been arested to prevent a breach of the peace – with his executioner’s outfit as main evidence. it should be pointed patrick is an actor, Who’s next?

POLICE RAID LONDON SQUATS THIS MORNING – AND GROW HEATHROW TRANSITION VILLAGE
Update from Dean at Freedom At noon:
Update 12.00pm : : As far as we are aware police have left the Offmarket social centre and Grow Heathrow site, but the opertaion is still ongoing at the Ratstar. There is currently 12 TSG vans outside the building with a crowd of around 40 people outside in support. As we understand it the arrests have been for ‘abstrcation of electricity’ and there has been further arrests of 7-8 people in another part of the Ratstar building. Other occupiers are being detained in the carpark by TSG and it’s is unknown if they will be arrested. A further arrest was made by plain clothes police outside the building as they recognised someone in the crowd from their March 26th wanted spotter cards. This person has to Walworth Road police station.
So far it is a TSG operation in terms of clearing the site and making arrests. The senior officer on the scene admitted (to Laurie Penny) that this operation is indeed connected to the Royal Wedding. Because the Ratstar is such a big complex it is likely the police will be around for several hours, so support is still needed. Most have the occupants living there have been arrested or detained so at present the building is in exclusive hands of the police. The occupiers have an agreement with the owners of the building to live there and this is not in any way connected to an eviction attempt on behalf of the owners, but purely a police instigated operation.
