BRISTOLS AT DAWN

Baliffs attempting to evict a squatted building touted for a new Tesco in Bristol (see SchNEWS 713) were met with feisty resistance on Tuesday (16th). After the occupiers were tipped off in advance, they were ready and waiting for the eviction team on tripods and ladders.

Two protesters locked on in concrete and had to be removed with sledgehammers and angle grinders. A crowd of around 300 gathered around the site to support the occupiers. Despite the spirited resistance, the occupiers were eventually evicted. Two people were arrested.
