Hello, I am currently in the process of writing a novel, which amongst other things is about the 'Battle of the Beanfield' in1985; I would be really interested in eyewitness accounts, videos etc of this event ( I wasn't there, but remember the news coverage well, and feared the same thing would happen when I attempted to go to Stone Henge in'86). If anyone can help me I'd be most grateful!

Hi DG, As you know I'm an antiquarian artist
and I've recently been doing much of my work on Pictish symbols
which were carved between 400 and 900AD.
During my study I've found complelling evidence
that the Excalibur of folk lore is actually one of the Pictish pictograms.

by the Guildford Philarmonic (they have a convert the night before,

the debt. Ahem ... Look out for the zoviet france tour this week ...

CHALGROVE FESTIVAL
The site is a pleasant, secluded couple of fields owned by a pub in the village. The 'front' field, nearest the pub, is the stage with picnic tables & clean, manicured grass give the area a relaxed feel for those of us who like to go barefoot. I was fortunate enough to be doing some sound engineering with the regular crew, and look forward to probably doing that again, so may I say that the P.A. sound has excellent quality. The bands & smaller number acts were folk - both traditional, modern & combinations thereof. Especially to hear face-to face was Heron, the band Roy Aikle put together in the late-1960's or early-1970's & was a breath of fresh air to me still. There's a footbridge to the camping field behind, and the other festival venue is the music room of the pub, where some things are scheduled and some aren't.
blessing, see you sometime maybe.

------- Forwarded message follows ------- Dear Jean,
First of all, I have been listening to the BGG CD which is excellent. Please commend Sam for excellent selection, production etc.
Secondly, I want to update you about progress with the Men's Dome, so you understand my thinking. In 1998, I held the space almost single handedly (I did have some support from a couple of friends) and it half killed me, effectively being there from 9 - 6 every day, and running all the workshops myself.
I want to involve a lot more men this July, but also I want to involve men in the planning stage, now onwards. At first, I thought I could do this by an evolving web-page, changing as my ideas developed following feedback from others. However, this has proved too complicated. Instead, I am doing the same by an evolving e-mail, of which I attach the current version. I send it to as many men as possible, asking for their help and comments. I will then send updated versions of it to those who have expressed interest. If you, Sam, or anyone else know of any men that might be interested in this process, please send on the e-mail. I am hoping it will soon actually evolve into a web-page, but I think I need to sort out a few more details first.
With best wishes, or as one man has put it:
Love and power,
Mike

Dear George
thanks very much for the information you gave me today. I am very much looking forward to participating in this event and being able to contribute positive energies towards it.
As I said my name is Spacegirl and I'm a performance poet, storyteller and writer of prose. If you manage to get to the Warp (the one at OPEN club on Charing Cross Road, nearest tube Tottenham Court Road) you can find me there. The next Warp is March 3rd and thereafter every two weeks.
If you would like to know more about me you can see me at: ~www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~parcher/spacegirl.htm [ http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/parcher/spacegirl.htm ] .
Hope to see you in June if not before.
Bests wishes Spacegirl
A friend of mine was arrested at Stonehenge in '95 for ] trespass.
Do you mean for 'Trespassory Assembly'(TA) ? You cannot be arrested for 'trespass' Can you be more specific - actual charge, where arrested (in Stones, on road) and date of arrest? There was one arrest for TA, on the road, on 21st Jun '95, and he (Arthur) was acquitted. There was one arrest on 22nd, but for a public order offence as the TA order expired midnight 21st. There were 3 arrests for TA on Jun 1st, on the road. One did not respond to the summons (H?). The case against him was very weak. The other 2 defended the case through the courts all the way to the House of Lords and won. There should not be any other outstanding cases.
] Do you know of any laws that suggest the price to get in to the Stones was too much at that time.
The original deed of gift from Chubb specified 'not more than one shilling'
] I believe that the by-law stated that the price for access in the 60's/70's would never be above 70p.
Don't know about that.
] We think that people may have successfully fought court cases on this basis
Not that I know of.
] and we hoped that you might have contacts for them or some useful information.
There are people interested in challenging the entrance fee, but don't know if they are actively pursuing it at the moment.
] Anything that you can send could prove very helpful. This matter is very urgent
There are probably much easier defences than the entrance fee, but need more info.

****************************** TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION FOR STONEHENGE ****************************
Thirteenth meeting Tuesday March 7th 2000 THE GEORGE HOTEL AMESBURY 2PM prompt to 6PM
The Commission is an open forum and is a voluntary initiative of The International Institute of Peace Studies & Global Philosophy, and of The Stonehenge Peace Process which is a project working to bring together all parties with an interest in the controversial issues of access to Stonehenge and the surrounding landscape. We believe that a lasting solution can only be found if everyone participates and the legitimate needs of everyone including druids and pagans, local residents, authorities, new age travellers, the public and all Solstice visitors can be addressed in a spirit of compromise.
English Heritage will be looking at far-reaching proposals, which some of us have helped put together, for public access to Stonehenge for the Summer Solstice Dawn in 2000. Those who support this big change in approach need to continue planning for the event, on the understanding that we will help its achievement, and confirmation of the plans is likely to come late in the day, if only because English Heritage's new Chairman only comes into office in April. The process of bridge building between the parties involved in the process of understanding, and with those who have not yet joined it, cannot rest but must be continuously facilitated. Whatever your views, we greet your contribution to the meeting. This is a promise from the Commission to listen and learn..

What puzzles me is why you think anyone should bother supplying you with this information. It sounds to me as if you just want all this for your own personal use, for a degree or whatever not to in anyway campaign against civil rights violations. The people who really ended up suffering from the CJA were not the alternative types but the ordinary travelling people. This is not so much through prosecutions but by local authorities being allowed to wriggle out of their responsibility to provide land for travellers to use. Youre not going to find people like that at Glastonbury they wouldnt be able to pay the admission charges.

Hi there to whoever is reading this
My name is Kelly and I'm a university student. I'm proud to say I've been to see Stonehenge and the word 'amazing' comes to mind. I'm in my second year and I've got to do a small project on the possibility of putting something like a tourist information centre nearby. You know the sort of thing where you've got to put the advantages and disadvantages.
I don't know if I'll get anywhere with this but if anyone could help me out in anyway or share any personal views they might have, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks for reading this plea for help,
from Kelly

George.... Thanks for your email. You're quite right, of course. One big question is: will the archaeologists who anticipate a lucrative contract to dig up the Stonehenge road route be objective enough to speak out against the scheme if the archaeological impacts look as appalling as some of us believe.
Some news from earlier this week (24th Feb). International Commission on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) UK rejected a call from RESCUE and other bodies to put Stonehenge on the UNESCO World Heritage in Danger List, but they did make this statement:
ICOMOS UK position statement on Stonehenge at February 2000 The International Council on Monuments & Sites UK
Our World Heritage Committe had a full discussion on the Stonehenge situation at its meeting on 24th February, and members had before them copies of several representations from various bodies.
We were concerned that the presentation of the World Heritage Site should be improved and the following position statement was subsequently endorsed by the Executive Committee:
"ICOMOS UK supports, in principle, the general approach being adopted, subject to further evaluation of the details, and to a full Environmental Impact Assessment, which we would expect to form part of the Planning Process. The alternatives, including the long bored tunnel, would need to be assessed in equal terms."
We can see no practical value in Stonehenge being put on the World Heritage in Danger List, and we are not in favour of such a step.
Dr Philip Whitbourn, OBE Secretary
Cheers..... ChrisW.

Obituary For A Prophet Unrecognised In His Own Time
Probably the most evolutionarily visionary mind on the planet died exactly a week ago. Unnoticed by 95% of the population. I knew and spent time with the man on two continents, studio-recorded and interviewed him on several occasions, and hatched several world conspiracies together. I've attached my last email to him - less than 24 hours before his death as it's turned out.
Terence McKenna, eschatological ethnobotanist, psychedelic philosopher, lyrical lecturer, Rave Culture rapper, drug shaman and author, who believed that Evolution was originally triggered by ingestion of the psilocybin mushroom (which had probably travelled for aeons across space to effect such a process!) died within months of the removal of a brain tumour by the latest gamma knife procedure, radiation, craniotomy, and gene therapy, the 'best' that science had to "offer".
Terence, 53, died at 2:15 a.m. Pacific time, on Monday, April 3, 2000, at a friend's home in San Rafael, California, in the presence of his brother Dennis, famed ethno-pharmacologist and shamanic traveler in his own right, and close friends. His last words are not yet on record, though he died much more privately than Tim Leary, the psychedelic prophet to whom he was most often compared, whose last words were "Yes! Why not?!"
In his final week of life, weak and unable to speak, Terence was described by Dan Levy, a close associate, as "a majestic soul, like a shining sun, with eyes brighter than ever." He was also described as "high in spirit, and embracing the idea of his own eschaton as only an accomplished psycho/spiritual adventurer can."

New Prevention of Terrorism Act Imminent
A30 Group Responds With, Er, a Mass Beatles Impersonation...?
Dear friend,
By now you will probably be aware that the government is in the final stages of implementing a new Prevention of Terrorism Act. You may have also heard about an event called A30 (so called because it's happening on April 30th). This message is being circulated by the event organisers, to explain what we're about and invite you to come along.
Contents of this email (in order):
What is the A30 event? (and what it isn't)
(1) What is the A30 Event? (2) Who is organising it? (3) Details of the day (4) Some frequently asked questions (5) A bit of a rant about the bill (6) How to get in touch and find out more
(1) What is the A30 Event?
A few of us have got together to plan a humourous jibe at the seriously-disturbing new bill and at the same time bring together a load of disparate groups who will need to work together if we are to survive and ultimately defeat/repeal this new legislation. Clearly the coming together of squatters, ravers, environmentalists etc over the Criminal Justice Act was just the beginning. We are inviting a huge range of groups and individuals as well as some well-known political campaigners past and present to attend. The central focus of April 30th will be one huge outdoor group photograph of all the people present.
This is not a press stunt. We will not be pandering to the media. Neither the photographer - a campaigner herself - nor the well- respected political collage artist who we're asking to do the photo are journalists. This event is for us.
The photograph will take the form of a 'Class of 2000-style' school photograph, similar to the Beatles' record album cover Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Activists from other countries, whose British supporters will be branded terrorists by their own government, as well as British historical figures, will be represented by cardboard cut-outs!
Also, we are asking everyone to come dressed as if for their favourite type of direct action. For some this will mean 'come as you are', but for others it will mean climbing harnesses or animal masks, hiking boots or decontamination suits, tunnelling gear or 'national dress'. You may want to bring an appropriate prop such as your bike, tools, placards, banners, blockading equipment, a musical instrument...
(2) Who is organising it?
The A30 Group is a loose collection of environmental direct activists. We have been involved in grassroots campaigns against road-building, genetic engineering, the animal-abuse industry and the anti-CJA campaigns. We are not aligned with any political party or other organisation. We are all volunteers who are somehow funding A30 ourselves, with the help of some personal donations from friends. Although the majority of the groundwork for A30 has already been done, new input and offers of help are always welcome.
(3) Details of the day
Place and Time: Meet in Highbury Fields park, Highbury, London N5 at 2pm. The nearest tube is Highbury and Islington.
Duration: We expect the setting up and taking of the photo to take no more than one hour. The time around that can be used to network - it should be easy to spot who's who! The A30 event has been timed to coincide with the MayDay 2000 conference, which is happening throughout the bank holiday weekend just 15 minutes walk from Highbury Fields. Come and do both!
Photo details: We will provide a professional photographer and the resulting picture should be reproduced in lots of publications, so you can easily get a copy. We will also post it on our website, with a key to the cardboard cut-outs and campaigns represented. If you want you or your campaigns details publicised in that key you can approach us on the day, or in advance (details below)
This is NOT a press call. There will be a press statement, so it is likely the media will be turning up, but we won't be doing anything special for them. As usual, if you are uncomfortable with having a journalist in your face, you have the right to say so. By attending the event, you are only consenting to be part of the official "school photo" - and then only if you choose to get in the frame and strike a pose!
Special needs: Please let us know if you need special help with getting to the park.
(4) F.A.Q
- This all sounds a bit bizarre! If we are all going to be terrorists then shouldn't we be hiding our identities?
Well you could come in disguise or stay out of the actual photo. Or to be totally safe, change your name, have plastic surgery and flee the country. Joking aside, a government that wishes to destroy a political movement must first render the individuals anonymous. So we are all caught between a rock and a hard place: campaign as we want or be forced underground. A30 is obviously aimed at those who wish to continue their activities in the open, regardless of the bill. We hope you will join us.
- This isn't going to stop the bill, is it?
Probably not. The bill is in the Lords at the moment and there has been little opposition to its passage, so far. We all have a lot of work ahead of us - think of A30 as a first step.
- Why pander to the mainstream media's desire for 'spectacular' images at all?
This is not for them, it's for us. It's a celebration of our history, of who we are, a reminder of our combined strength and potential. Make the event what you want it to be - a reunion, a networking session, a chance to pay respect/share solidarity with past/current political movements, a piece of political art. A brief but passionate hour to remember as we continue the fight.
Why call it the A30 Event?
Apart from the obvious calendar reference, it is also referring to our anti-road building roots - the A30 Devon road protest was the first to fight a privately built & operated road. The A30 group are launching a pledge to defy the government's proposed new road-building programme, in spite of the new bill - for more information on this, see the website (address below). Although the name follows in the tradition of recent international days of protest, A30 is not an action.
(5) A bit of a rant about the bill
Our shared history of public dissent -
Freedoms are very rarely granted to a people; they are more often than not fought for. Activists, protesters, strikers and campaigners, indeed anyone who ever shoved against the brickwall of the status quo will tell you this. Action and confrontation in the streets and workplace is not the unacceptable face of politics, as many a government would have us believe. It is the lifeblood. Suffragettes committed criminal damage, ramblers trespassed, environmentalists pull up crops, hunts get sabbed, demonstrations, strikes and street parties are being turned into riots by police forces all the time.
The government claims that its new prevention of terrorism powers will not curb legitimate political action. It will merely clamp down on extremely violent agitators, a minority. This is nonsense. Who decides what is legitimate? Any tea-party can be made to look like a conspiratorial and riotous mob when you have an army of spin doctors on the payroll. MI5 have got to justify their enormous budget somehow.
There is no evidence to suggest that the new act will be implemented any differently to the old one in terms of civil liberties. The Irish experience shows all to well the intrusion, intimidation and violence metered out to families and communities in the name of the PTA. No-one who demonstrates, with any degree of success against anything, is safe. This is not scare-mongering. Read the Bill (web address below).
Obviously we have to wait and see how it is implemented, but we all know how hard it is to repeal even the most outrageous laws. Clause 28 and lowering the age of consent for gay men are two very timely examples. How many people suffer while the government rolls over to protect its minority of reactionary voters? At the end of the day this is a rushed and badly-worded bill, the barely hidden agenda of which is to divide and rule any dissenting communities. It seeks to punish political activity on grounds of motive, turn even more demonstrators into political prisoners, curb the freedom of expression, association and liberty of the Press... the list goes on.

Sorry but i just cant agree with your veneration of statues and stones, the problem with our society is precisely this point - the idolatry of the old. If its old it has to be conserved -by all means study the ancient but to look at a statue of chuchill and get upset by its 'desecration'-only begs the question are you upset by his desecration of strikers in the 1920's or by his discussion, kept quiet by the establishment, that it might be worth siding with hitler as communism was a greater threat! Equally you put down those who paint stones at Avebury as a form of protest yet if they had done it 5000 years ago you would have idolised them, also do you idolise todays religons i doubt it but you seem to think the builders of Stonehenge are above them - they all bow down to some false god! who are we to decide which is better!
i do not wish to put down any one but you seem to do this by your put down of the people who are actively going out and trying to stop the the destruction of the world now- not harking back to a bygone age. Will you be in Prague in September? Hippy values are great but putting flowers in guns didn't work in the sixties and pissing the establishment off now is better - the ALF has achieved far more by direct action than through love and peace.
Sorry if this seems angry but i read enough in the main stream press about so called desecration without reading it from so called alternative people( and i have also lived in a bus for a number of years in the '80s)

Although I am glad to see that we have been granted access to all who come in peace it is still a little patronising as there would be uproar if say for instance Catholics were stopped from going to Cathedrals or Muslims to Mosques, Jews to their Temples. I come in peace with others and with a glad heart will demonstrate through love and understanding to these "authorities" that we are the loving and respectful people that we say we are. Not only is that the best way of achieving anything it is the only way. Light, laughter and love, peace, passion and poetry from your sister - Spacegirl

It was an exertion of permanence. Remember I said ice-age, that's not a just a bad winter; for these poor souls the word would have changed completely. The storms would have been fierce. The seasons would be nearly meaningless. Everything they needed to live with would have to be included within the site. The building would have to be very sound. Imagine they did try building things out of wood or clay first. Remember the three little piggies. These folklore tales usually have a basis in truth. George Barbour.
I like his sense of humour. I think alot of people should just relax on the issue of racial purity. Blood is important, but so is how you live, and whether you are proud of your life and ancestors.

In an age when nomadic life is all but outlawed, they are to ] ] ] ]travellers what the Notting Hill carnival is to Afro-Caribbeans. Except ] ] ] ]here ] ] ] ]you wonıt see policemen dancing or smiling. ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire has held its fair since 1476 when ] ] ] ]Edward ] ] ] ]IV decreed that two fairs a year should "forever be held for the relief ] ]and ] ] ] ]succour of the inhabitants of the county" granting them a Royal ] ]Charter. ] ]As ] ] ] ]such they are a permanent fixture on the rural calendar until abolished ] ]by ] ] ] ]an act of Parliament. ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]Over the years, the fairs have changed. Visitors 30 years ago would ] ]have ] ] ] ]seen hundreds of beautifully painted wagons and the horses that pulled ] ] ] ]them. ] ] ] ]Although a few stubborn traditionalists still make the annual ] ]pilgrimage ] ] ] ]with horse and wagon each year, it is mainly modern caravans and ] ]lorries ] ] ] ]that crowd the site. But itıs not only the technology of travelling ] ]that ] ] ] ]has ] ] ] ]changed, the attitude of the authorities responsible for policing the ] ] ] ]fairs ] ] ] ]has too. ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]Until the late Seventies, horses were shown and raced on the main ] ]street ] ]of ] ] ] ]Stow. Nowadays, the fair is confined and restricted to a field on the ] ] ] ]outskirts of town. But bobbies on the beat are no match for the skill ] ]and ] ] ] ]agility of Gypsy chavies (children) on horseback who sometimes taunt ] ]the ] ] ] ]police by riding horses up the main street. To the children it is a ] ]chance ] ] ] ]to tease the gavvers (police) but they are also reclaiming the rights ] ]of ] ] ] ]their ancestors. ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]Not content with forcing the fair out of town, Cotswold District ] ]Council ] ] ] ]obtained a permanent injunction in June 1996 to stop people from ] ]camping ] ]on ] ] ] ]land owned by travellers at the edge of the town. Every year, nearby ] ]lanes, ] ] ] ]field entrances, car parks and verges are blocked by police tape. ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]"We have taken out the injunction prohibiting people from staying in ] ]one ] ] ] ]field," says Council spokeswoman Claire McGine. "Sometimes they stay ] ] ] ]overnight but we would take action to move them on if they stayed a few ] ] ] ]days. The object is not to discourage the fair but to control the level ] ]of ] ] ] ]disturbance to local residents." ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]But local residents are divided about the fair. Vera Norwood, ] ]shopkeeper ] ] ] ]and ] ] ] ]chairwoman of Stow Town Council, says: "The Gypsies have been very ] ]badly ] ] ] ]treated by the district council and a few nasty business people. The ] ] ] ]authorities threaten people with imprisonment and have even discussed ] ] ] ]demanding planning permission for every caravan that comes." ] ] ] ]Others are less sympathetic. One bus driver told me: "you see all the ] ] ] ]disgusting drinking, fighting and carrying on as soon as you get near ] ]it. ] ] ] ]Those dirty Gypsies come twice a year and there is nothing we can do to ] ]get ] ] ] ]rid of them." ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]Local publicans, encouraged by the police, either close up for the week ] ]or ] ] ] ]ban travellers altogether. Every year The White Hart Inn hires burly ] ] ] ]bouncers to keep Gypsies out. A "No Travellers" sign hangs above the ] ]door, ] ] ] ]in direct defiance of the Race Relations Act. ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]Itıs difficult to tell how the bouncers decide who they wonıt ] ] ] ]allow in Stow is a place where all travellers meet, red-haired Irish ] ] ] ]travellers, dread-locked new travellers, olive-skinned old Romany ] ]ladies ] ] ] ]and ] ] ] ]every shade of skin colour in between. They welcomed me with a smile ] ]last ] ] ] ]year, unaware of the fact that over half the blood in my veins is ] ]Romany. ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]Mick Darling is a traveller and musician who has been coming to the ] ]fair ] ] ] ]for ] ] ] ]40 years. He denies that it is unpopular with the majority of locals ] ]and ] ] ] ]says the campaign to stop it is backed by only a handful of influential ] ] ] ]people. "It's always the empty barrels that make most sound," he says. ] ] ] ]Mick came across barrels of a different kind in 1968, when soldiers ] ]were ] ] ] ]used to stop Todcliffe fair in Yorkshire. The local Council publicised ] ]its ] ] ] ]intentions to have the fair unchartered in the London Evening Standard. ] ]Not ] ] ] ]surprisingly no written objections were received and the Council called ] ]the ] ] ] ]army in when thousands turned up to attend the fair. ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]Thankfully, confrontations at Stow have not reached that level, but ] ] ] ]travellers feel increasingly threatened and intimidated by the heavy ] ] ] ]policing. "The fairs are for everybody, not just travellers, and they ] ]are ] ] ] ]one of the few freedoms we have left," says Mick. "In this day and age ] ]when ] ] ] ]travelling is more difficult, it is increasingly important to the ] ]survival ] ] ] ]of our culture." ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]Caravans may have largely replaced wagons, but the original purpose of ] ]the ] ] ] ]fair - selling horses - lives on. Travellers show off their horse ] ]skills ] ] ] ]as ] ] ] ]they ride and drive horses through the crowds without warning, ] ]scattering ] ] ] ]panicking spectators everywhere. Itıs a chaotic scene that seems more ] ] ] ]suited to the ] ] ] ]streets of Spain than the mellow lanes of the Cotswolds. ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]Pride of place among the horses are skewbald and piebald cobs, ] ]sometimes ] ] ] ]known as Gypsy cobs or tinker horses in other countries where they are ] ] ] ]increasingly valued and exported. They are robust horses that have been ] ] ] ]used by travellers for pulling wagons for hundreds of years. Renowned ] ]for ] ] ] ]their good temperament, strength and versatility, they can be ] ]recognised ] ]by ] ] ] ]their ] ] ] ]distinctive black and white, or brown and white, colouring and hairy ] ] ] ]feathered feet.At fairs, travellers often shampoo and back-comb the ] ] ] ]feathers into a bush of hair that would turn Tina Turner green with ] ]envy. ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]The Gypsy cob seems to prove the point that pets are like their owners, ] ]and ] ] ] ]are a completely different animal to the thoroughbred favoured by ] ]well-bred ] ] ] ]aristocrats.

Yes, I agree with the above. There is only ONE human race made up of folks with different ethnic backgrounds and cultures and social traditions. All this blather about different races, or pure or unpure blood, is ridiculous poppycock, old-fashioned and unscientific.

To All, Is it true there is to be 'gathering' permitted on the summer solstice at stonehenge this year? We shall be there anyway but it would be especially nice to be able to reach the stones without all the police bullshit.... I am I correct in believing that there will not be any police involvement? If not what is the score? Last year we felt targetted at the Stones because we were playing drums, this is not the only occassion either. It seems that they feel somewhat threatened by the drums and actively search them out. This our experience anyway..... Well whatever we shall be there with our drums and good vibrations.... see u all there.... peace, love and light -The Spiral Collective- ps-please send any info. regarding how we can become more actively involved-

Hello out there. Here's a message of an old newspaper report I got in an e-mail recently.
Peace wrote:
Dope springs eternal from May Day riot
May 2K: special report
Nicholas Watt, political correspondent
Thursday July 6, 2000
Green-fingered protesters, who dug up Parliament Square on May Day, have had the last laugh after a crop of marijuana plants was discovered in the shadow of Winston Churchill's statute.
MPs rushed across to the square last night to inspect the fledgling plants - each no more than four inches high - which sprouted up thanks to the efforts of the "Avant Gardeners" who invaded the square during the May Day riots.
The crop was discovered yesterday by a group of aboriginal protesters as they launched a protest in Parliament Square to coincide with the visit by the Australian prime minister, John Howard. "We should all emigrate to England," declared Michael Anderson of the Sovereign Union of Aboriginal Peoples.
There was mixed reaction at Westminster last night as news filtered out that parliament now had its own supply of marijuana.
The Labour MP Paul Flynn, who campaigns for the legalisation of cannabis, pledged to mount a vigil to protect the crop. "This is a sign of hope that nature can triumph over prejudice," he said. "But no doubt Jack Straw will be down there first thing in the morning to destroy the plants with the ritual stamp of intolerance."
The Home Office minister, Paul Boateng, remained firmly on message when asked about the crop. "Have you told the police?" he barked.
Police said last night that they would move in quickly to remove the "illegal plants". One source said: "Officers will arrange for the plants' speedy removal before destroying them. But there are unlikely to be any prosecutions because it all happened eight weeks ago."
The May Day gardeners will be delighted with their handiwork, which shows that the authorities have failed to clear up the square. The plants were last night clearly visible behind the metal barriers, which are meant to bar access to the square to give fresh grass a chance to grow back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

13TH OF MAY: AN INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY WITH MUMIA ABU JAMAL, THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS
Revolutionary, Afro-American journalist, Mumia Abu Jamal has been sentenced to death, targeted by the US Government through their counterintelligence programs- COINTELPRO - intended to disrupt, discredit or otherwise neutralize any form of radical opposition to the status quo.
Condemned for a crime he never committed, Mumia has been constantly harassed because of his activism in support to all the oppressed around the world; because of his exposure of injustices as a revolutionary journalist, becoming internationally renown as "The voice of the Voiceless"; because of his uncompromising support for all Political Prisoners and Prisoners Of War.. He's a constant target of repression because 19 years on Death Row couldn't prevent him from carrying on his revolutionary activity, which is still going on in the Maxi Security Penitentiary at SCI Greene, Waynesburg (Pennsylvania).
Today the struggle to save Mumia's life represents the struggle against a racist and classist Death Penalty System which affects mostly Afro-Americans and Latinos and, in general, everyone who can't afford an effective legal defense; it represents the struggle to free all Political Prisoners and Prisoners Of War, incarcerated for their commitment against oppression and exploitation created by the "New World Order", by the International Monetary Fund and by the World Trade Organization.

English Heritage has announced that Stonehenge will be open to the public for this year's Summer Solstice.
It is the first time in more than 10 years that people will be able to see the sun rise over the historic monument without a police exclusion zone.
The so-called Battle of the Beanfield in 1985 led to a significant police presence during the solstice.
This year the police will be asking people not to play music or light fires for the pagan celebration on June 20.
(StoneForm) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I just came to this page from ABC news. Who are them? I was at Stonhenge last month, it was freezing and snowing. I didn't know England was that cold. I must say it was disappointing in that you couldn't get anywhere near the Stones! I have seen a lot of photos with people walking around the stones. Apparently you have to go on a special sunrise or sunset tour to do this. There was also Stonehenge's plans for the future. It didn't look then intended to let people near them anytime soon. This was a real disappointment having traveled 3,000 miles to see them.

------- Forwarded message follows ------- Dear George I have no problem with yellow peace jackets. Those worn by Legal Observers this Mayday and those worn by Greenpeace stewards at Glastonbury do not seem to cause antagonism. Much more important is the atitude of the wearer, any sign of officiousness will result in a negative reaction. The nature of the people who attend these events in inherently anti authoritarian. Unless stewards are clearly identified, a badge being insufficient, solstice celebrants will not know who to approach for help or advice and the forces of law and order will just treat the stewards as ordinary punters. At the mayday event the Legal Observers were able to succesfully prevent the police attacking people at random simply by their prescence.

What are we to expect at Stonehenge for the summer solstice? Wiltshire police are expecting up to 10,000 people, there is parking for 3,000 cars at Airman's Cross.
There are, of course, several sound systems preparing themselves as well as other musicians and bands all of which may find that they choose to set up a little way from the stones.
Over-policing has caused problems at every large gathering for the last few years and the challenge for us will be not degenerating into a riot crowd.
No positive effect of policing has ever been reported at Stonehenge.
Ignoring their imposition with dignity is our option one.
Druids are turning into Stuids to show us how central they are to management of the site, but will hardly be noticed amongst the numbers of people expected and are way out of their depth.
Given the debateable restrictions that they have dedicated themselves to imposing on us mere mortals who are returning after fifteen years exile to a site where our central celebrations have taken place for at least 10,000 years, they will find themselves considering police back-up when their 'magical authority' is not universally respected.
At least the druids would have Stonehenge as a living temple where some kind of rituals are performed rather than it be a dead museum fit only for grave-robbers and archaeologists.
But are their rituals relevant to anyone but those directly involved? Pliny's comment sheds some light about what should really be expected from a historical perspective: "Magic was practiced in Gaul and had penetrated even to so remote a spot as Britain, where it was invested with such august ceremonies that one might almost suppose that it was from this far off isle that the cult had spread to the Persians".
Celebrants would be best advised to honour the full moon on the 16th under the present climate, despite the much lauded cause for celebration.
Who knows what beautiful possibilities for the human race and the planet could be generated by simply gathering and communicating in freedom? Anyway the access times are too short and if the party is to be extended it will not be likely to be after the solstice but before, unless you count that Glastonbury thing.
Lots of love and hope for the present and the future, Jesterdream.

For the first time in many years I am not going to Stonehenge. E/H and the police are untrustwothey and incompetant The did not give the pittifull access that we have this year. they were forced to offer something as they have never offered any fair and just access to anyone, ever! They do not want this access to succed and behind the backs of the public are working towards using problems at this years access to stop next years. PS over the last ten or so years E/H have denied the public access overnight as they considered it to dangerious and was not permisable under health and safty regs. PPS the majority of people spoken to require Stone henge to be open all day with free access unresticted to all parts. While E/H keep the access's to so few hours and invite so many people of different lifestyes,They can be assured that their is not enough time or space for every one and that this will cause aguments which they can and will tke advantage of. As I feel so depresed about access offered I decided to keep me and my pessimistec vibes away and go to Avebury. I DO hope things go well at the henge but feel untill GENUINE equitable access is acheved we all have a long way to go. I have discribed what E/H is doing to the public,as Unstangling our access SLOWLY. I would suggest that they get their hands off our necks altogether if they realy are being honist about their plans.
(StoneForm) Just a note to I hope to be at the stones for the solstice. It is a shame that we cannot stay around for the sunset as well, as the entire day is special. But I hope it goes well, because if it does it will be
