The Dale Farm Eviction's Going Ahead.

Today (31/8/11) an application for a injunction to prevent Basildon Council evicting 400 gypsy/traveller families from the Dale Farm site in Essex was rejected by the High Court.

So at 00:01 tomorrow (1/9/11) Basildon council will interfere in the contractual agreements between the residents of the site and the power and water companies to cut off water and electricity supplies to the site in order to make life as difficult as possible. However it is unlikely that the actual eviction will begin tomorrow in order to avoid embarrassing Britain as they attempt to portray themselves as great humanitarians at the Paris conference on Libya.

According to local rumour on Friday (2/9/11) the police will then close off all roads in and around the site preventing people for leaving. If previous evictions are anything to go by during the day on Friday or possibly Saturday (3/9/11) the bailiffs will then drive bulldozers and other heavy machinery onto the site and then proceed to destroy all the mobile homes and vehicles on the site with little or no concern for the people in them. This process could last from anywhere between several days and several months depending on the level of resistance the occupants of the site put up.
