CRAP ARREST OF THE WEEK

For sitting on a sofa!



HOME IN ONE

On Monday people tee'd off with the House Builders Federation (HBF)
obsession with covering the countryside in small boxes, disrupted their
annual golf tournament in Chepstow. Members of URGENT and the Land Is Ours
erected a low-impact eco-dwelling at the 18th hole A spokesperson commented
"It is clear that the HBF and their friends are determined to profit from
rapid private development of vast tracts of land whatever the social and
environmental costs. The sort of homes we should be building for the future
need to be affordable, well-designed and sustainable - not the sort of
executive homes for commuters and their cars that are being built all over
the countryside."The HBF is the house building lobby group. Their new Chief
Executive is Stuart Hill, who rather conveniently the moved from his former
post of Chief Executive at the HM Land Registry to take on the job. URGENT,

Love and peace triumph! Great thanks to the Webmeisters! I was there that warm May day, and your Website reminded me of a beautiful day photographed by Japanese tourists outside the Stones when we were inside...juggling, drumming..."Sacred lady of the Light, weaving webs of day and night, Earth, Air, Fire and Water I dowse as one!" - and now I sit enslaved in an office in another country biding my time, waiting for the next opportunity to be truly human in tribal harmony....we are like the rain: they can not prevent us. But they can kill us (and do) and imprison us (and do) and enslave us (and do) but nevertheless: the victory is always ours, for ours is the only possible victory. What appears to be their victory is merely the temporary delay of our release from the Old Age into the new beginning to come. Golden Dawn, come soon! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

We hope to get a site up as a support group for the two children who were gassed

public eye very quickly considering the outrageousness of it...
We think some of the people who visit your site are the sort of people who went 
to our party and we are appealing for witnesses to the attack, or anyone who was 
there who has anything to say.
 
We'd really appreciate any help or advice your may have, and a link would help

Hope to hear from you soon

    From: "Andy Burnham" [email protected]

Dear Stone Circle Webring members,
I hope you won't object to hearing about this piece of important news.

Details are coming through of a proposal by Eden Arts (Eden District
Council) to build and part-fund a 25 ton modern granite obelisk at the
entrance to Mayburgh Henge, the Neolithic henge monument on the edge of the
Lake District in Cumbria.

I am horrified to hear about this, which is inappropriate at such an
important prehistoric site. There is only one stone remaining of the circle
as it is. What's left doesn't need overshadowing by a modern structure. Just
because people Christianised these sites hundreds of years ago doesn't mean
it's acceptable now.

Please forward this message on to anyone you think might be able to help.
Perhaps some of the people in the US who supported the campaign for the
Florida circle could now help us!

Mayburgh Henge (sometimes spelt Mayborough) consists of a huge circular bank
of small boulders, with a single standing stone remaining in the centre. In
the mid 19th century four stones were reported here, along with four more
flanking the entrance to the henge. The stones that make up the bank average
around 100mm in diameter and are boulders of the sort found at the bottom of
glacial valleys, The bank is estimated to contain 1 million stones, and must
have taken thousands of
man-hours to build. There is a picture on my web site at
http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/aburnham/eng/mayb.htm

Justin, who lives locally writes:

    the problem is apparently that English Heritage have no
jurisdiction outside the circumference of the henge itself, even just
outside the entrance . When I visited Eden Arts to discuss their plans, I
suggested that they may have a problem at the planning permission stage, due
to vociferous local opposition, However, they were happy to inform me that
there would likely be no need for planning consent as the construction would
require no foundations or engineering work. I suppose a twenty five ton
block of granite stays pretty much where you stick it.

The symbols will apparently be an "Alpha" an "Omega" a Christian,
(Celtic?) cross and the number 2000.   inspired.  It will only cost
£16,000.

They also informed me that inhabitants of Eamont Bridge parish would be
consulted. Thanks for any support. Please e-mail, write or fax to express
your concern and ask for information. Let them know, people outside of
Eamont Bridge parish actually do give a damn.

The article:

Cumberland News, August 6th 1999.

Headline:  Memorial "to last 1,000 years"

By-line:  Mary Ingham, Penrith reporter.

Article:

Eden councillors have backed a plan to mark the millennium with a
30-tonne granite memorial designed to last for at least another 1,000
years.
But one member claimed it would be "cultural vandalism" to place a
Christian monument at the proposed site - a field containing the
Neolithic Mayburgh Henge at Eamont Bridge, near Penrith.
the £17,500 memorial has been devised by the organisers of next summer's
millennium festival, part of which will be held at the Henge, and it will
be dedicated during the event.
It will be made out of a solid block of Shap granite, standing 12ft and
weighing 25 to 30 tonnes.
The organisers say the memorial will last at least another 1,000 years
and will be inscribed with symbols and inscriptions highlighting the
Christian significance of the millennium.
The festival company will pay half the cost and once it is wound up,
Eden Council will take over ownership of the memorial.
At its recent meeting, Eden's works and leisure committee agreed to pay
the remaining £8,750, subject to planning and other consents.
Brian Nicholls, (Penrith Carleton, Lib Dem) said he was happy with the
principle of a millennium monument, but not with the site.
"Isn't is cultural vandalism to stick a Christian symbol on a non-
Christian site?" he asked.  "You would not put a cross on top of a
barrow."
Bryan Metz (Alston Moor, Ind) said there was a long tradition of
Christians putting monuments on ground previously used by other
religions.
Bernard Thornburrow (Tebay with Orton, Ind) said Canon Markham, who is
leading the organisation of the festival, had done a lot of research
into the suitability of the site.

(StoneForm)  Well, I work at Stonehenge, and although I agree that the access to
the stones is not ideal, I believe that there is really no need to stress out
the EH staff. Like on the solstice morning, I was the one who had to pick up all
the dog shit, condoms, fag ends and the bottle of methadone - really, when
people leave this kind of crap lying around it begs for condemnation! The way to
protest? In my humble opinion, I think you need to aim your sights higher.

eclipse of the sun
 

Total Eclipse of the Sun

              August 11, 1999

     Cornwall UK, Europe, and
      Asia

 The final total solar eclipse of the millennium, in 1999 (there is
 none in 2000) is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for millions of people
 to see the most spectacular astronomical phenomenon there is.
 On Wednesday, August 11, 1999, a total eclipse of the Sun will
 be visible from the Isles of Scilly, the Cornish mainland, Alderney
 in the Channel Islands, much of mainland Europe, the Middle East
 and south Asia. Apart from Finland in 1990, the last total eclipse
 in Europe was in 1961; and not since 1927 has the United
 Kingdom mainland seen a total eclipse. 

 This is truly an occasion not to be missed. Although the chances
 of clear skies are not excellent, for the "stay-at-home" not willing
 to roam the world looking for eclipses, this is the last chance to
 observe a total eclipse in the British Isles before the 23rd of
 September 2090. Yes, 2090! Even Europe will not see such an
 event again until 2081. 

 This page from 
 hermit.org  
summarises some information on the
 event, and explains where to go to get the best view of the
 eclipse. A listing of other future eclipses up to 2020 (and, in the
 UK, to 2151) is also available, to put this into context.

    Hi George, 

I think it was karelia bus, on tv last night in a program about people who 
went to the isle of wight festival, and what they are doing now.  Don't know 
whether you are interested in knowing this, and I didn't video the program, 
so can't help you there, if you wanted to revel in the reflected fame of 
your bus being on TV ;-) 

Anyway, the link to the eclipse family camp on the stone geo homepage is 
missing the 'http://' bit, and so it tries to open a relative page on geo. 

Hope all is well with you

cavanagh was at solstice, disgusted by police

Date: Fri, 6 Aug 1999 05:44:13 -0700 (PDT)
     
    
   
   Hi.  I'll get around to sending you some stamps soon!  I was at
Stonehenge at the Solstice, was not involved in bringing the fence down, but did
enter the Stone Circle.  I was disgusted by the response of the Police, and
especially by the 'security guards' who I saw punching people who were sitting
on the floor.  The attitude of the Police was beyond contempt, although they
were more restrained than at other such incidents.  The reason that the Police
gave for evicting the crowd from the Stones was that 'invited people' wished to
begin a ceremony.  Fair enough. But why couldn't representatives from English
Heritage, pagan groups, druids have simply ASKED people to respect the ceremony? 
I'm sure most people would have done, given that I was treated with respect and
love by all present (bar the Police).  It is also worth bearing in mind that the
Police prevented those people with tickets from reaching the stones before dawn,
so what was the point in evicting everyb!
ody?  I have written to English Heritage, Jack Straw and my MP outlining my
concerns over the site and access to it.  I have received a reasonably
encouraging reply from Sir Jocelyn Stevens, to which my MP will be replying in
due course.  There is a way forward, and I sincerely hope that by the Solstice
of next year we will have found a solution so that as many people as possible
can have access to the stones.  I hope to see you at Stonehenge for the
festival!  Take care.

sacred-land My basic position is that all land is sacred 

 From: "mcstone.ancientmod." [email protected] 
 Reply-To: [email protected]
 Subject: [diggers350] land ownership
 Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 19:13:28 +0100
  

 Hi,

 I'm kind of jumping into the middle of this debate so excuse me if I've
 missed a point. The question is I think 'should private land ownership be
 abolished ?'

 My basic position is that all land is sacred  (but some portions of land
 are more sacred than others). Land ownership must somehow be connected or
 equated with what we call civilization.

 The point that I'm trying to make is that the assumption that private
 land ownership is somehow the beast we should be excising could well be
 wrong. Public land ownership is often a far worse thing. That is because
 the will of the public is corrupted by the powerful. The millenium dome ,
 or new roads are salient examples. Near me, (and you if in the UK) is an
 RAF base where nuclear missiles are kept to wage war on unidentifiable
 foreign enemies. To all intents and purposes the land where this goes on
 is in 'public ownership' .

 Surely ownership of land means a duty of care for that land. Not
 altogether a bad thing, so long as that caveat is observed. Sadly it's
 widely abused by that very same thing 'civilization' in my opinion.

 Yours

 Hengist McStone

 Ps if anybody has any definition of civilization I'd like to hear it.

 EMBARGO 00:01 Saturday 10th July 1999

 ROBERT KETT IS BACK!!!

 450 years after Ketts' rebellion once again people will be setting up a
 camp
 on land near Norwich to reclaim land for the
 people. We will be taking over a piece of land near Norwich on the
 afternoon
 of Saturday 10th July. This event is being
 organised by the Norfolk Group & East Anglian regional group of 'The Land
 Is
 Ours'.

 This will be an attempt to create a more sustainable future on a site
 which
 is currently derelict. We seek to make people
 aware of how the land was stolen from the people by force, in effect
 'ethnic
 cleansing', and how those who claim to 'own'
 land often mis-use it while denying others, who could do something there
 the
 opportunity. The site selected for this
 occupation is being kept secret until members of the group have taken
 possession of it and begun setting up camp.

 Why are we doing it?

 Our first aim is to commemmerate the events of 1549. When around 20,000
 people in East Anglia tried to defend their ancient
 rights to the commons against the enclosures. Which not only privatised
 the
 land, but also led to forced evictions and what
 would now be called 'ethnic cleansing' in Britain. Around 4,500 East
 Anglians were killed defending their rights to land.

 Secondly: We are seeking to highlight the fact that in Britain the vast
 majority of people are still excluded from ANY
 rights over land.

 Thirdly: By our actions we hope to show that ordinary people can often be

 better stewards of the land than those who
 currently hold it.

 Notes for the Editor:

 1) In a single day in August 1549 over 3,000 people were killed in
 Norwich
 for resisting being forced from their lands,
 this is comparable with any single act of 'ethnic cleansing' carried out
 on
 the orders of Milosovich in Kosavo.

 2) We claim the same right of return to land as the Kosavo Albanians.

 3) Large ammounts of property in Norwich is currently laying empty while
 people sleep on the streets, also large acerages
 of Norfolk are in unproductive 'set-aside'.

 4) The distribution of land in Britain is comparable with many third
 world
 countries.

 5) The Land Is Ours campaigns for rights to land for ALL, not the few who

 happen to be descended from thieves and
 murdurers.

 In 1549 Kett issued a list of 29 demands, now we are issuing ours...

 WE DEMAND:
 1) No more "Keep out - Private property" signs
 2) An end to all forelock tugging
 3) Social housing not luxury housing
 4) No more golf forces for the few
 5) To no longer be "tresspassers in the land of our birth"
 6) Land for people instead of GM deserts
 7) Freedom to roam over uncultivated land, not herding into "country
 parks"
 8) Village stores, not out of town superstores
 9) The freedom to open gates, the responsibility to close them afterwards

 10) No littering of the land and sea (Sellafield take note)
 11) Stop dogs worrying SHEEP & FOXES
 12) The right to take the road less travvelled
 13) The protection and promotion of allottments
 14) The use of inner  city land to house the homeless, not for executive
 flats
 15) Turning derelict land in cities into community gardens
 16) Sustainable human settlements
 17) Access to land for everyday recreation
 18)Hedgerows, not monoculture prairies
 19) People before cars
 20) People before minerals
 21) Gatherings not aggregates
 22) Trees before tarmac
 23) Reclaim the streets
 24) Defence of council housing
 25) An end to harrassment of travellers and boat dwellers
 26) Work on the land, not just McJobs
 27) Experience, not consumption
 28) Refugees right to return
 29) The Land Is Ours, and we demand access for EVERYONE, irrespective of
 race, age or gender.

nme-cornwall Festival-goers heading for Cornwall this summer 
could face a Criminal Justice Act clampdown 

Festival-goers heading for Cornwall this summer could face a Criminal Justice Act clampdown enforced by the army because local authorities fear August's solar eclipse celebrations will develop into scores of illicit raves.

Police say they're expecting up to four million people to descend on the county to celebrate the event and are now formulating a strategy with the military to cope with the crowds.

Plans for a legal ten-day, 16,000-capacity Eclipse Festival at Carlyon Bay near St Austell, which is being held from August 6-15, are now being finalised, with major dance acts - including Prodigy - expected to be announced soon. Last year, Megadog organised a 10,000-capacity festival on the same site from August 14-16.

But fallout from the festival, which could include impromptu unofficial raves organised by revellers, is worrying the authorities and landowners.

Sergeant Richard Price of Devon & Cornwall Police said his force, along with the help of the military, would consider enforcing the controversial Criminal Justice Act to clear any unlicensed 'raves', a term used by the act to cover any outdoor party where 'repetitive beats' can be heard.

The act was partly created to deal with the illegal rave boom of the late-'80s/early-'90s and gives police the power to shut down such unlicensed outdoor events and arrest people involved in them.

Sgt Price said: "The powers do exist for us to use if we wish to. We will recognise the powers are there and any illegal gatherings will be dealt with in a manner which will be appropriate at the time."

But according to a local newspaper reporter, who did not wish to be named, the situation was becoming increasingly worrying.

He said: "Everyone's shitting themselves. There is a load of opposition from the residents. Carlyon Bay is quite an upmarket, toffee-nosed area, the residents are pretty pissed off, especially as this one is over ten days.

"Last year a lot of problems were caused by a load of travellers who came down and held an unofficial event two or three miles away from the site. They caused a lot of disruption.

"If you're talking about ten days, then they're going to be coming in a couple of days before that and God knows how long it's going to take for them to clear off."

Local landowner Tony Geake is warning that festival-goers who don't book into official festival campsites face a battle with Cornish farmers.

He said: "There was so much trouble last year, the police informed us that with anything on private property you've got to take civil action. All we can do is put as many obstacles in the gateway as we can, such as concrete blocks or trailers to stop people coming in."

But Eclipse promoter James Sherlock of Manchester-based Night Time Concerts, claims his festival will help authorities cope with crowds.

He said: "They seem to think that if they don't grant us a licence it will stop 16,000 people going down to the beach, but it's not going to do that. In reality, it could do with ten people putting concerts on.

"If you think that ten per cent of the people that are going to come down are young people looking to go to concerts and parties, then what's being provided is nowhere near enough."

The local Restormel Borough Council is holding a meeting on March 4 to discuss Night Time Concerts' licence application.

A number of DJs have already been confirmed for Eclipse, including Judge Jules and Paul Oakenfold. Fat Les will also make their debut live appearance.

Meanwhile, Glastonbury Festival promoter Michael Eavis has denied further problems would be caused by travellers and festival-goers staying on at his Shepton Mallet site after June 27 and then slowly making their way down to Cornwall.

He said: "The whole travellers scene is gone. At its height in 1990 we had 400 travellers' vehicles staying on at our site, last year we had just 12 and when we asked them to leave, they left. We won't be letting anyone stay on our site after the festival is over."

From: "Simon Rice" [email protected]

Subject: Stonehenge in Chains
Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 19:01:37 +0100

Dear Sir,

After holding my regular Sabbat meeting at Stonehenge for Midsummer I was
disgusted at the overt police presence there, the utter disdain that they
held for anything out of the ordinary, against their definition of what is
"normal". My group then moved to Avebury, and witnessed a similar spectacle
there, although in this case the police were in smaller numbers and
frightened silly by a group of spiritualists and travellers!

I'd like to offer my help, and that of my group, if we can aid in any way
the opening of Stonehenge for more mystical events such as the Sabbats.
Visit the URL below if you would like to know more about us, but we would
be willing to help in any way to further this most worthy of causes. We
don't feel that a position of apathy and acceptance is good enough in the
face of open bigotry and religious descrimination, and want to make a
difference.

Best regards, and heartiest congratulations for the good work,

    Hi George,

Urmm.  I've always figured celebrations were calculated as "the dawn following
the time of the astrological solstice" and so a little confused why your site
mentions some folks will be marking Monday's dawn rather than Tuesday's.

Any idea which date is 'preferred' by the Campaign (and I guess, the darlings
at EH)?

Also, as the constabulary's position seems vague, do you know of any meeting
place prior to heading for the Stones for the dawn, or think it's likely we'll
get away with assembling in the droveway without harassment?

Your thoughts would be valued, as always,

Chris.

ps.  Your site -- wow, is it getting big! -- is wonderful:  educational,
informative, inspiring. A fantastic documentary.  Congratulations and thanks.

STONEHENGE 1999

Happy solstice ! Blessed Be !

We would like to explain what is happening today.
Although the Lord Chancellor's ruling makes it legally possible to
approach Stonehenge:-
We are only too aware that a lot of people will not be allowed in the
circle this year.
This is because English Heritage has restricted access to the Stones to
those who applied in advance only.

Please help us to have these restrictions on public access removed by
notjumping or damaging the fence, as this would jeopardise our ability
to persuade English Heritage to adopt an open access policy for the
future.

If all goes well this year and there is no trouble, E.H. will make
arrangements for greater access at next year's summer solstice.

Our ancient right of freedom of assembly on the highway and elsewhere
only exists provided our assembly is not " unreasonably large,
unreasonably prolonged, or unreasonably obstructive. "

This right has only just been won back, we do not wish to lose it again,
or have to return to the days of the so-called exclusion zone.

For this reason the druid ceremony in the Stones has been deliberately
shortened so that we can join with you in celebrating the Solstice
outside the Stones, until ways are found to admit everyone in future.

Many of those granted access this morning have spent ten years outside
lobbying for druid and pilgrim access. We believe in access for all.

Let's convince the world that we are all peaceful enough to be allowed
back in. .

I REACH OUT FOR YOU AND YOU REACH OUT FOR ME

CHANGING LANDSCAPES
by Will Glenn

Since birth, 51 years ago, I have witnessed many changes to the landscape.
One of my earliest memories is when I was three years old, sitting on my
grandfather's shoulders, and being told to "Be quiet, and watch that stoat
take that rabbit." My grandfather showed me a lot of the countryside around
Woburn Abbey, where he worked as gamekeeper. I used to watch the deer,
badgers and the other wildlife that lived in the park. Gramp taught me how
to use and extend my senses in order to get a better insight into what was
around me.

Over the years I saw things that were not quite right, and I didn't have
any answers. Then, in 1962, a book was published, and that Christmas my mum
gave me the book as a gift. I don't think she ever knew what a big gift it
was. The book was 'Silent Spring' by the late Rachel Carson. It answered
most of the questions that were going around in my head at the time, but
not all. The rest would be answered with age and maturity. Thirty-seven
years on, and we still have not learned the lessons Rachel taught. Then, in
the early 60s, she was vilified by the agro-chemical industry for the
'stories of doom' that she was apparently telling.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings from the States!

I had planned to visit Stonehenge on June 21, 1999, but I recently noticed that
it was the solstice.  One website noted that it was closed on this day.  Is this
true?  What is planned there on that day? Any suggestions? (I will be with  3
children, aged 6-12)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(From)  Bill
(Email)  [email protected]

It should be open to the paying public as normal most of the day from
about 9.30(no access actually inside the Stones)
If coming with kids at sunrise (not open), come self-sufficient and
avoid being close to the fence where there is a crowd.

naked Protest naked for the right to be naked in public. Outside Buckingham Palace.

Subject: Tuesday 8th JUNE  2.00pm - Buckingham Palace Protest
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 09:19:32 -0700 (PDT)

THE FREEDOM TO BE YOURSELF!

Protest naked for the right to be naked in public.
2.00pm Tuesday 8th June 1999 -
Outside Buckingham Palace.

The Holistic approach looks at the whole situation.

All problems have a root/cause: the human mind. People are very unhappy
because they cannot be themselves. People are forced to hide parts of
their body, they are not accepted for who and what they are. Look at
any problem and you will find that the root/cause of this problem is
the human mind.

The protest is a peaceful, happy, cheerful occasion. The protest is
human Rights based, we wish to legalise nonsexual public nudity. In
justification of our actions we will cite ARTICLE 10 (Freedom of
expression) from THE EUROPEAN CONVENTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN
RIGHTS AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS.

We consider present laws to be inhuman, oppressive, repressive and
unjust. There is no rational reason for present laws that force people
to hide their bodies. The protesters just want to be accepted for who
and what they are - we desire the freedom to be ourselves. If you are
not allowed to be yourself your personality will become twisted, you
will become unnatural and unreal: this entails the many symptoms of an
unhappy, sick and unnatural society. The protesters resent the
irrational bureaucracy that forces us to hide our bodies, we just want
to be natural and true to nature, we just want to be true to ourselves.

The protest addresses all problems; a lasting solution can only be
achieved by addressing the the root/cause of the problem, the protest
seeks to solve all problems. WE DESIRE THE FREEDOM TO BE OURSELVES!

Protest naked for the right to be naked in public, celebrate the beauty
of life, be part of this happy occasion and celebrate the beauty of the
human being.

Publicity is essential, I thank you for your help. If you are hesitant
about protesting, come to the protest as a spectator, nevertheless once
you see the strength of support you will be sure to stand up for your
rights. We are estimating 100-200 protesters who will be protesting
naked for the right to be naked in public. Irrational inhuman laws are
unstable; the protest WILL achieve its goal: we will change laws and
gain the right to be naked in public!

2.00pm Tuesday 8th June 1999 -
Outside Buckingham Palace.

I hope that you will decide to stand up for your rights: Protest!

The freedom to be Yourself
Vincent Bethell.

we dont leave rubbish in the stones
if anyone had dropped some at march equinox
then somebody would have picked it up

the burnt out cars at the end of stonehenge 1984 festival
were out of order

if you look at our aims and objectives
then you'd see that care of the Stones is one of them

I bet the tourists drop fagends,
but thats the way of the 20th century,
perhaps they think they're creating work
perhaps they dont think,
we're all learning

i have grown up

certain people call themselves druids and do
what they call ceremonies,
it fulfills a need in them,

what police action do you back?
how far would you go?

do the common people have a right to watch the sunrise?
do you trust people?

We will be in London from December 23rd through the 30th this year with our two
daughters 15 and 13.  We understand that everything, absolutely everything will
be closed for Christmas Day and for Boxing Day which will leave us nothing to do
but sit and look at each other in the Hotel.  I thought that we might rent a car
and drive to Stonehenge but we were wondering if there would be anthing that we
could see when we arrived.  Is it visable without purchasing tickets and taking
a guided tour?  Would this be a possibility.  I tried to get information from
the internet and learned a great deal more about the site but not about it's
access or availability.  I found your e-mail address and have taken the liberty
of bothering you with my questions.  If you have any information for me I would

The recently formed 'Cannabis In Avalon' will be holding an event on Glastonbury Tor. Starting at High Noon, CIA founder, Free Rob Cannabis shall be leading a peace pipe ceremony in which he will send out a message of peace and love to all humanity to join in a group visualisation of a world free of prohibition, living as one in Harmony with Nature. He will then call upon the Lord of Cannabis, Shiva, to dance his dance of destruction upon the lies and prejudice that uphold the illegal laws of Cannabis prohibition. Once the peace pipe has been passed round a small circle of Free's friends, the CIA Bong Squad shall be distributing Cannabis cakes and free offerings of Holy herb from the Bongs of Love.

Please note that this event is a celebration of Cannabis, NOT alcohol. In order to deter an alcohol presence CIA Bong Squad shall NOT be distributing Free Cannabis to people with alcohol.

Please bring Love, Peace, Pipes, Bongs, Cannabis and musical instruments.

With Love and Light From CIA.

Hi!
I was wondering if you could help me. I'm building a replica model of Stonehenge 
for a client and was wondering where I could find the right dimensions for the 
stones and a real good layout of them. Any help would do.
Thanks for your time,

nac Meeting of : Northern Area Committee
Date: I5th April 1999
Subject: Stonehenge Summer Solstice I999

OPEN - FOR GENERAL RELEASE     Agenda item 9

Meeting of : Northern Area Committee

Date: I5th April 1999

Report of: Solicitor to the Council

Subject: Stonehenge Summer Solstice I999

1. INTRODUCTION

  1.1 The purpose of this report is to explain to Members of the Committee 
  why an order prohibiting the holding of all trespassory assemblies on
  land adjoining the Monument at Stonehenge during the Summer
  Solstice period will not be made this year.

2. BACKGROUND

  2.1 In recent years the Chief Constable of Wiltshire has applied to the
  Council for prohibition orders under the Public Order Act 1986 as
  amended (`the Act').

3. SUMMER SOLSTICE 1999

  3.1 This year, however, the Chief Constable of Wiltshire has written to the
  Council explaining why she does not intend to apply for a Trespassory
  Assembly Order for the Summer Solstice period in I999. A copy of the
  Chief Constable's letter is appended to this report.

4. FURTHER PROGRESS

  4.1 You will note that the Chief Constable's letter maps out the furrher
  progress made to achieving normality with Stonehenge during the
  Sumnmer Solstice period by allowing anyone with a specific interest in
  Stonehenge access but without a recurrence of the problems that have
  arisen in the past. This has been achieved by sustained constructive
  dialogue between English Heritage; the Wiltshire Police and most of
  the groups interested in Stonehenge and the performing of rituals there.

5. RECENT HOUSE OF LORDS JUDGMENT

  5.1 The Chief Constable's principal reason for not applying for an Order is
  based on a recent House of Lords judgment.

Facts

5.2 Further to a Trespassory Assembly Order made by the Council in I995
  relating to the monument at Stonehenge, the defendants in the case
  were arrested and subsequently convicted of taking part in a
  `trespassory assembly' under sl4(B)(2) of the Act.

The central issue

5.3 The central issue turned on the question of what were the "limits" of
  the public's right of access to the public highway.

The judgment

5.4 The majority decision of the House of Lords (3:2) allowed the
  defendants' appeal.

5.5 The Lord Chancellor espoused the view that the law today should
  recognise that the public highway was a public place on which all
  manner of reasonable activities might go on. In his opinion, provided
  those activities were reasonable, did not involve the commission of a
  public or private nuisance and did not amount to an obstruction of the
  highway unreasonably impeding the primary right of the general public
  to pass and repass they should not constitute a trespass. Subject to
  those qualifications there would be a right of peaceful assembly on the
  highway.

5.6 The Lord Chancellor said that the public highway was a public place
  that the public might enjoy for any reasonable purpose. In every case
  the Magistrates' Court had to decide as a matter of fact and degree
  whether the use had been reasonable and not inconsistent with the right
  to pass and repass.

  24 March 1999

  Dear Richard   [Chief Executive, SDC]

  I am writing to you in respect of arrangements for the 1999 Summer Solstice.

  During 1998 English Heritage and the Wiltshire Police continued a constructive dialogue
  with most of the groups who had consistently shown interest in Stonehenge and in the
  performing of rituals there. This rapport was extended through the granting of access to
  the monument on notable dates, particularly the Winter Solstice and the Equinoxes.
  Things had progressed suffciently well to allow access to be granted for the Summer
  Solstice to a group of 100 who had applied to English Heritage. This group included local
  residents as well as astronomers, archaeologists, druids, pagans and travellers. The event
  passed off peacefully and was deemed a success.

  Since then further progress has been made. There have been regular meetings with
  representatives of groups interested in Stonehenge and there continues to be regular access
  to the monument. This culminated with 208 celebrants being granted access for last
  weekend's Spring Equinox, all of whom left peacefully at the conclusion of the
  celebrations.

  The recent House of Lords judgement in the case of DPP v Jones & Lloyd has caused me
  to reconsider my views on the appropriateness of a Trespassory Assembly Order under
  Section 14A of the Public Order Act 1986. In that judgement, Lord Irvine articulated the
  public's right to use the public highway for any reasonable purpose providing it does not
  cause a nuisance or obstruction. In view of this judgement, I do not intend to apply for a
  Trespassory Assembly Order for the Summer Solstice period in 1999. Our policing
  strategy will encompass this most recent decision, the need to protect the Stonehenge site
  and to facilitate access for those entitled to it.

  I am of the view that my decision presents a significant opportunity for all those who have
  a deep interest in Stonehenge and the celebration of the Summer Solstice. It is hoped that
  we have moved on from the days of confrontation and mass policing. However, the onus
  will rest on those who intend to come to Stonehenge for the Solstice. The policing
  operation will ensure a positive response from my officers should any incidents of disorder
  occur over the Solstice period. Furthermore, any outbreak of disorder would jeopardise
  the very real progress that has been made. It would, in all probability mean that I would
  have to revert to the use of the powers available to me under the Public Order Act, 1986
  during the Millenium Year, in particular those significant calendar events commencing
  with New Year's Day, 2000.

  I would also like to assure you that should I receive any intelligence to suggest that there
  may be planned incidents of disorder or trespass I will then consider making an emergency
  application for a Trespassory Assembly Order. I trust that will not be the case and that this
  Summer Solstice will not only prove to be an enjoyable and peaceful event, but also the
  herald of a new period of tranquil and harmonious celebrations at Stonehenge.

  Yours sincerely

Hey Dice George,
                              thanks for the URL's.
I enjoyed perousing your page. I especially liked your quote "I'm an
undiscovered pop star, is'nt everyone?"

   I'm a professional musician myself, playing an eclectic mix of styles
for 15 years now. Although I devote quite a bit of studio time to my
electronic/trance/"space rock", project, SLOTERDIJK ( means end point in
dutch, pronounced slOter-dIke), I am currently preparing for a short
solo acoustic tour of the northeast U.S., under my other pseudonym,
ARTIMUS. One of the reasons I wrote to you about Free Festivals,
Stonehenge etc, is because I reside part time in The Netherlands, and
I'm thinking about coming to England in the Fall ( around Fall Equinox).
I'm looking for like minded musicians/artists etc, with whom I might
connect with. I'm also searching for some sort of gathering where I
might be able to play, either solo, or as a collaborator, back up  etc,
either in the genre of elecronics ( though it might be too costly to
transport all my equipment), or acoustics. 
   I have released two independent offering here in the states, with
decent success, i.e. I sold out of all the tapes, and am currently
planning on reissuing them. I also have quite a bit of new "Space Rcok"
material, which I plan on taking to the stage here in the U.S. at a
festival due to take place in late July.
   Here in the states, my "scene", is quite small, and it appears that
what I'm trying to get more involved with, is still quite a lively thing
in England, what with Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Hawkwind etc.
   Anyway, thanks again for the info.
                              Sincerely, Mike Burro

Dear Dice George,
Today I got on the web for the first time .
Veday.wpb is a good page. It records a gathering at Stonehenge that was peaceful 
, historic , and I learn commemorative. But surely it was not harmonious .
I have to ask why did it happen at all ? I mean this was a political protest on 
sacred turf. It is or at least should be a sanctuary . 
Then there is the point that any such action is also exclusive , that is only 
those 'in the know' about the Ve day event could get to go in the stone circle. 
There is nothing egalitarian about this trespass which by it's nature excludes 
anyone who does not know the right people, didn't know in time or aren't 
together enough to go to the Stones on the appointed day.
What was achieved on Ve Day ? I mean the whole country had the day off to 
commemorate the end of a war\defeat of fascism ...hooray! I went to Hyde Park that 
beautiful June day and got paid for it working as a gofer , but I digress. The 
few dozen hippies who went to Stonehenge deserve a folk song written to 
commemorate their daftness. I can't see that Stonehenge is a clever place to 
protest about war , at all. 
I figure that somehow I have written enough to justify asking you to e-mail me 
back. Please do as this is a test transmission !!! It is also a ( probably 
misguided ) exercise in free speech .
Signing off for now,
Best wishes.
Hengist McStone

PRESS RELEASES FROM THE DIGGERS AT ST GEORGE'S HILL, WEYBRIDGE

DICTATED AT 13.55 ON 4 APRIL 1999

300 Diggers reposess St George's Hill

On Saturday 3rd April 1999, 300 activists marched to St
George's Hill, Weybridge, Surrey to erect a memorial stone to
The Diggers, 350 years after the initial occupation of this
once common land. Following the rally to the original Diggers
site, the activists marched to a nearby part of the hill to
establish a communal settlement in the spirit of the original
Diggers.  The activists have been negotiating with Saint
George's Hill residents association, Saint George's Hill Golf
Club and North Surrey Water (alleged land owners) in their aim
to erect a memorial stone to commemorate the 350th anniversary
of the historic Diggers encampment.

The handcrafted memorial stone has been temporarily erected on
the newly occupied site and activists have pledged to stay
until a permanent and publically accessible home has been
agreed and established.

The activists have recently become aware that in 1952 land
elsewhere on the hill was donated to Elmbridge Council with
public right of way. However public access to this land has not
been secured. Activists are also questioning the legalities of
original enclosures of common land on Saint George's Hill and
elsewhwere.

Contact: Tony Gosling or Annie Merry 0961 460171.

Background info: www.tlio.demon.co.uk/diggers.htm

There is an acre of land for everyone in Britain. Millions of
homeless, tenants and mortgagees still struggle while the
priviliged 'own' more 'stolen' land than they could ever use.
The Diggers are committed to changing this.

"For action is the life of all, and if thou doest not act, thou
doest nothing' -- Gerrard Winstaley, 1649.

DICTATED AT 19.18 ON 4 APRIL 1999:

A meeting was held this afternoon with Mr Newberry from the
residents association and a representative of the landowners,
North Surrey Water. As a result, North Surrey Water agreed to
donate an appropriate site on the hill for the memorial stone,
subject to access details being finalised with the residents
association. North Surrey Water have accepted the historical
importance of this occupation.

ENDS

DICTATED AT 20.55 ON 5 APRIL:

CAMPAIGNER ATTACKED AT ST GEORGE'S HILL DIGGERS COMMUNITY

Surrey Police are investigating an unprovoked assault that took
place at the Diggers' encampment on the St George's Hill estate.

The incident happened around 4pm on Monday April 5th at the
entrance to the camp. A man known to be a local resident got
out of a black four-wheel drive vehicle and attempted to remove
some information boards at the gate. Mark Brown from the
Diggers camp asked him to stop, and was punched in the face and
knocked to the ground. The man then climbed back into the
vehicle and reversed at high speed towards a group of people by
the entrance to the site. No-one was injured by the vehicle.

This incident is reminiscent of events 350 years earlier when
the original Diggers were attacked by elements of the local
population.

Mr Brown said: "We are here in the spirit of the Diggers but I
never expected history to be repeating itsel so literally."

The camp welcomes visitors. Many local residents have visited
and are supportive but this is the only incident of this type.

Witnesses to the incident included former residents of the
estate Dr Mario Capozzi and Heather Kershaw, now living in
Weybridge [phone number 01932 859553]. Further details can be
obtained from the camp.

Camp contacts: Tony Gosling or Annie Merry 0961 460171.

Dear Stone Circle Webring Members,

Emily Mace, the creator of Complete Stonehenge spotted that our ring was
featured in the New York Times a couple of weeks ago. There doesn't seem to
be a way to link to the web version  properly, and you have to register, so
I've pasted the text at the bottom.

You can see the 'blip' caused in the ring stats at

http://stats.webring.com/cgi-bin/wrstats?ring=stonecircle
 Have a look at
where your site ranks in the ring. If it's not very high it's probably
because visitors can't find the links to the ring on your home page (hint
hint :-)

Speaking of statistics, I was surprised to discover the other day that the
Stone Circle sites generate substantially more webring hits than either of
the 'archaeology' webrings - and they both have more sites generating
traffic. This is down to your excellent web sites so take some credit!

http://stats.webring.com/cgi-bin/wrstats?ring=archonnet
if you don't believe me...

Subscribers to the 'Stones' mailing list will know this already, but if
you're going to be in the south of England at the end of the month, a number
of us will be going to the Rollright Stones Mayday's eve 'event' on the
evening of the 30th April. This will include such things as music, drumming,
poetry, dancing etc, expertly organised by the Rollright Stones Trust. Let
me know if you fancy coming along. Admission a typically underpriced one
pound!

Until next time, thanks for being a member of the ring,

Cheers,
Andy

A Web Surfer's Guide to Ancient British Past
By MICHAEL POLLAK
n the beginning, when the glaciers had retreated and the land was young,
when warrior kings and their priests had learned how to use awe and fear,
and even before they had learned to use an alphabet, there was Stonehenge.

 Stonehenge broods under a cloudy British sky, without the crowds that often
dispel its aura of mystery.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

 Well, actually, before Stonehenge, there was Avebury, 20 miles to the
north.

Bigger and more elaborate than Stonehenge, Avebury, near Silbury Hill, is
the largest prehistoric mound in Europe. In fact, southwestern England is
studded with giant stone monuments and burial mounds, built by thousands of
prehistoric men and women over thousands of years in the late Neolithic and
early Bronze Ages.

A village later grew up within Avebury's circle, and between the efforts of
anti-pagan moralists and building-supply scavengers, Avebury's stones have
been ravaged.

It is Stonehenge, standing on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, safer from
builders and destroyers, that has caught the world's historical and mystical
fancy.

On a Web site named The Complete Stonehenge
(www.amherst.edu/~ermace/sth/sth.html), on a page titled Why I'm Obsessed,
the site's creator, Emily Mace, wrote, "Something profound, something
wonderful, something magnificent must have happened when I saw that
monument."

Her site is part of the Stone Circle Web Ring
(easyweb.easynet.co.uk/aburnham/ring), a group of more than 100 sites
dealing with dolmens, menhirs, barrows, burial mounds and theories varying
from the informed to the fanciful to the extraterrestrial: Dark Isle,
Archaeoastronomy, Crystalinks, Megalithica, The Ley Hunter Journal, Stones
of Wonder, How the Shaman Stole the Moon, and straight on till morning.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

Stonehenge and its ceremonial kin still fire the imagination.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

For those who want to start a tour, a wonderful guide is The Megalith Map,
an index with the location of any known stone circle or row in the British
Isles (members.tripod.com/megalithic). All of Britain and Ireland are
gridded: click on a map grid and you get little symbols for each site. Try
Stonehenge, and you get not only the visual and textual geography, but also
a list of 16 other Web sites with more information.

The Megalith Map is produced with the help of Aubrey Burl, the author of
many books on prehistoric Britain, including "A Guide to the Stone Circles
of Britain and Ireland" (Yale University Press, 1995).

A less comprehensive but highly readable map guide, Ancient Britain,
provides more information about fewer megalithic sites, along with many
pictures (www.weldwood.demon.co.uk/ancient.htm). The writer calls Avebury a
far more rewarding place to visit than Stonehenge. "The atmosphere of the
stones," the writer says of Stonehenge, "is long gone and with each visit I
find it a little more depressing than the last." (English Heritage, the
Government-sponsored preservation group, is planning a major relocation of
the roads and tourist buildings to help improve the scenic beauty.)

There are few signs of long-term settlement contemporaneous with Stonehenge
and Avebury, and this absence has given rise to the notion that the builders
were nomadic tribes. But the notion that nomads planned and executed a
virtual city of religious and astronomical significance seems even more
far-fetched: some of the monument's bluestones are believed to have been
transported more than 100 miles, from hills in Wales, and required hundreds
of laborers, who had to be housed and fed. And then there were the gold
ornaments and bronze daggers buried in many of the graves, implying the
existence of a nobility and an artisan class.

One thing the historians are sure of is that the builders were not Druids;
those animist forest-dwellers arrived long after Stonehenge was built. The
Brittania Web site's Earth Mysteries pages by Chris Witcombe has a section
on Druids (britannia.com/wonder/earth/druids.html).

The builders of Stonehenge left no alphabet but knew astronomy: the lintel
stones and the "heel stone" to the east of the circles form a giant sundial
in line with the summer solstice. English Heritage has done extensive
radiocarbon dating of the site, dating antlers in the surrounding ditch to
3000 B.C., many of the main stones to between 2800 and 2200 B.C., and other
parts to 1400 B.C. To some archeologists, the most amazing thing about
Stonehenge is not the construction itself but the huge span of time, more
than 1,500 years, in which it held an active place in prehistoric society.

PRESS RELEASE                          31st March 1999

McLIBEL APPEAL - MORE McAGONY FOR THE FAST FOOD GIANT
- further defendants' victories on McDonald's nutrition and employment practices

The verdict for the McLibel Appeal was handed down at 11am today, Wednesday
31st March, in Court 1 at the Royal Courts of Justice, The Strand. There was
a lively celebration picket by supporters outside the Court.

In their verdict today, Lord Justices Pill, May and Keane added to the
damning findings of fact made by the original trial judge, Mr Justice Bell,
against McDonald's core business practices. They ruled that: it was fair
comment to say that McDonald's employees worldwide 'do badly in terms of pay
and conditions' [Appeal Judgment p247], and true that 'if one eats enough
McDonald's food, one's diet may well become high in fat etc., with the very
real risk of heart disease.'  The Lord Justices went on to state that this
last finding 'must have a serious effect on their trading reputation since
it goes to the very business in which they are engaged. In our judgment, it
must have a greater impact on the respondents' [McDonald's] reputation than
any other of the charges that the trial judge had found to be true'.
[Judgment p264]

In 1988 I was at Stonehenge. It resulted in a dislike of Policemen and this
song.
I«m coming to London soon and I am interested in Information about a
celebration this summer

PLANT MORE TREES

At war with Reality
Who«s gonna save you and me
Journey the soul to the cauldron bowl
There is no life under control

What was stolen from Angelsey
Who didn«t account for you and me
Journey of the soul through mind control
did you fly when you got home

What ain«t in the bag Babylon
You«ve got what I need
I am coming on strong
When I am coming on strong

You are kicking the shit out of my kind
Fucking us up on your little white lie
Stood still; is no place to go
You are dealing with Infininty

This world is not aligned
The Romans have played with time
Believe in nothing you are told
Does the future lie in you future sold

What could be of this ring of stone
If Langley would not be at home
I wish to hold the hand of the Indian
I need to find some new forgotten medicene
Oh I«ve got medicene

Hi there again,
I emailed yesterday asking about repercussions and the laws involved in
touching Stonehenge - I am also interested to hear more about VE day?
I'm not sure if that is the correct day, but I want as much information
as possible on the police brutality concerned and the story behind it
all... as I said I am trying to write a paper on this and also want to
storm the Henge

Thankyou and look forward to your reply...

I thought it might interest you that Bristol ravers Mutant Dance staged a
free party at Stonehenge last Saturday night/Sunday morning for the equinox.
We set up a Fluoro geodesic dome behind the visitors centre, lit with UV and
partied all night 'til the druids arrived. Come sunrise they let not only
the druids, but 150 or so assorted free party people into the circle for an
hour. Even the solitary copper was chilled..... Phto's of the event should
be up soon at the following URL's

Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 18:08:00 +0100

Hey there,
I am interested in the repercussions of jumping the barriers, touching
the Henge etc.  There are two reasons for this.  Firstly I am writing an
article about the solstice and I would like to increase the numbers of
people versus police, but also warn of the dangers and recriminations
involved. Secondly because I desperately want to join in myself and
wonder, as an Australian, could I be deported or restricted from other
ancient sites, Heritage and the like in the British Isles?

If anyone has any information, personal stories about such incidences
and the like, I would be very interested to hear from you.

Lastly - which road gets you the closest to Stonhenge while the
roadblocks are in place?

Good work and here's to more free worship in areas of choice.

Dear George

We were responsible for bringing the rave element to the stones for the
spring Equinox. We were trying to show a new generation the splendour of
the place and remind another that we can still party at the stones and gain
access in larger numbers without damage bieng caused to the stones or any
trouble.  We believe that to restrict access to "The chosen few" is an
insult to others who share an equal right to walk among the stones as
anyone.  We would value your opinion on the party and our web site where
our version of events and future plans will be posted shortly. We believe
in a form of direct action using partys and fluro fun to make some form of
statement We gave out a sheet at the stones outlining a brief history of
the stonehenge struggle, this will be available on our site soon. I hope to
hear your views.

Turn on your computer and point your browser at Stonehenge.

Now turn and look out of the nearest window. What do you see? Light or dark,
summer, winter. Trees, grass, concrete. And consider this  we is everywhere, a
plastic cling-coat covers the soul and we is everywhere. And further, as you
focus through the glass, ask this  did the world just get bigger or did it just
get smaller?

"People have heard opera and they don't like it." You must have seen Morse. The
finer things. Glass of wine maybe, peace. But then who has the time or space for
such reflective, locked-on, intellect active, pursuit. Too few! And you can't be
a naturalist any more either. Have to be an environmentalist, eco-warrior earth
friend activist puffing white smoke in your zoot suit. Arrowed.

Turn your computer off then, disconnect and reconnect, this is star-wars, we're
going back, on up, to the Stones.

A man on the radio says everyone's heard of Isumbard Kingdom Brunel but no-one
could tell you who built the Channel Tunnel. Also there are more accountants in
this country than in the whole of the rest of the European Union put together.
IT makes you think. Nobody cares, it's a national joke. But the
Stones.............. Thousands of web sites cover the site sight, TV, film, rock
groups tap the potential like halloween. Stagger - move - who, how why??? Hmm?

Salsbury Plain axed by A303, wind-blown sheep and always smaller than you'd
imagined  ants circle ropes. No Druids with white flapping coats like sane
scientists and mock starstained faces. May as well be morris dancers with a
Shepherd's Hey the Handkerchief Dance. Environmental Protesters stand like Roman
sentinel soldier types. If you can't get a date, join an environmental group -
cultural philosophy of the age. Go picket an airport. Defined as prong, pointed
stake, station for civilian aircraft.

And some who have found a home here, and are likely to be buried here,
There are some who have found work here, including
Some whose employers have posted them here.
We are all local people.

May the present and coming times bring our shared goals closer to
realisation.
May we come to understand and share one another's goals where we do not
already. May the forests and communities grow and prosper together in
the
knowledge that we can create our own circumstances.

We am interested in exploring the possibilities for online dialogue between
our fledgling Stewards Movement and people like yourself. I believe that our
models and approaches, provide some of the `missing links' necessary to
create a viable eco-cooperative movement for the 21st. century.

Below is a brief introduction to our movement with some pointers to our website:

Hi there,

The Stewards Corporation Movement, also known as the Stewards Planetary
House, is a new just-being-born movement of working and non-working poor
people who seek to become
increasingly able to work together to care for one  another together with
the planet.  Our approach is highly inquiry-oriented and includes new
methods of social organization, economics, information  technology,
childcare, personal development, care of the earth, `co-obligation contracts
to work together to care for one another', and much  else.

Our approach could, in a nutshell, be summed up as: `Organize the planetary
underclass as the Stewards of the world!"

Occupational hazards

Eric Mattocks, squatters' activist,
born may 30 1928; died January 18, 1999

By Steve Platt
Tuesday February 2, 1999
The Guardian

Eric Mattocks, who has died suddenly in his sleep aged 70, was one of the
liveliest and best-loved characters in the London squatting movement. A
rough, roguish, huge-hearted man, he was a stalwart of the Islington-based
Advisory Service for Squatters (ASS) for almost 25 years.

There were few squatting campaigns in that period that did not bear the
mark of his practical activism or echo with the sound of his unforgettable
laugh.

Brought up in working-class Hackney before and during the second world war,
Eric never departed from his roots in London's East End. He had been a
burglar before he was a squatter, and turned the skills he learned in that
earlier profession to good use when his own experience of homelessness
persuaded him that no one should remain homeless while houses stood empty.

On the few occasions that he could be persuaded to speak about his
housebreaking past, he was quick to insist that it was strictly confined to
'rich people's houses Kent, Surrey and Blackheath'. He despised 'nicking
off the working class' and the rise of that sort of mean crime on the
estates of Hackney and elsewhere.

There was little that he would not do to help the many vulnerable people
who turned to the squatting movement when all else had failed. For his 50th
birthday Eric was presented by his squatter friends with the 'Order of the
Golden Crowbar' (actually a gold spray-painted crowbar) in recognition of
the number of squats he had opened up.

The squatting movement of the 1970s and 1980s was at the heart of the
political and cultural turbulence that produced, among much else, punks and
punk rock. Although described as a 'proto-punk' for his anarchic politics
and spikey ways by one of his younger fellow activists at ASS, Eric was
never a fan of that particular music scene.

At squatters' benefits he was often to be found taking the money on the
door, where, equipped with industrial ear protectors, he would question the
eager punters' sanity in 'paying good money for that bleedin' 'orrible
racket'.

He was also legendary in some music circles for once forcing Joe Strummer
and his mates in the Clash, then on their way to stardom, to clean up the
rubbish outside their squat. It was 'giving squatters a bad name. I don't
care what bloody pop group they are.'

Mattocks had first become involved in the organised squatting movement
around the time of the eviction of the Elgin Avenue squatters in the summer
of 1975, when barely a day passed without news of one squat or another
hitting the headlines. He became treasurer of the London Squatters Union
and was one of the founders of ASS, which he also served as treasurer until
his death.

When ASS hit one of its periodic financial crises, it was Eric who raised
the money to keep it going; when the organisation was firebombed in 1981,
it was Eric who got an emergency telephone line installed and had the
centre back in action the next day. He did all this while working as a
school gardener for the Inner London Education Authority, where he was an
active trade unionist and shop steward.

Perhaps Eric's greatest triumph was the Greater London Council's squatters'
amnesty in 1977-78, when some 12,000 squatters in GLC properties were given
authorised occupancies. Eric had found a kindred spirit at the GLC in John
Snowcill, the senior official with responsibility for squatted properties.
The two discovered they had attended the same primary school and formed a
close friendship, which was to culminate in the plan for an amnesty. Eric
played an essential role in its implementation chewed over with Snowcill at
regular Friday sessions in a Waterloo pub.

Among those who turned up to a London Squatters Union meeting in the late
1970s was Catherine, with whom Eric was to form a relationship that lasted
for the rest of his life. Their two young children have lost their father,
who loved them as dearly as he was loved by others, far too soon.

Stonehenge - the Return?

With the now-notorious events around the banning of the Stonehenge
festival in 1985, many people, especially those in nearby Amesbury and
other rural backwaters, thought they'd heard the last of Solstice
celebrations on Salisbury Plain. They underestimated the tenacity of the
ever-growing Pagan movement and those for whom this site, which few would
dispute was laid-out for seasonal observance, is more than just a tourist
attraction.

It is not generally known that for several years now Druids and other
constituted Pagan groups have been permitted to use the monument for
religious workings outside regular opening hours, with the full
co-operation of the site's controlling agency, English Heritage. The
religious tolerance argument, one of those always invoked around
Stonehenge, has been taken seriously by EH, and has even led to
discussions between practising Pagans, EH and the National Trust, about
other megalithic monuments around the country. On several occasions too,
particularly at the Winter Solstice this year and several past, groups of
those interested in the stones have somehow happened to be present in
sufficient numbers at the site to have the confidence to enter; they have
not been resisted by the couple of security staff on duty, have disported
themselves peaceably to the satisfaction of staff and the local Police,
and left again in the morning.

Since 1985 too, avowedly Pagan and other organisations have made
representations and held meetings with English Heritage looking for a
solution for the long term. One such is now claiming a significant
advance. Rollo Maughfling, a character well-known around the festival
culture but also the 'Stonehenge Officer' of the Council of British Druid
Orders - the profusion of Pagan organisations is as much of a confusion
to the ininitiated onlooker as it presumably is to EH themselves - has
announced that, as a prelude to far greater (but still technically
limited) access, all those interested in access to Stonehenge at the
Solstices from Summer '99 on have been invited to write to English
Heritage in Amesbury, stating their interest and (for what it's worth)
the number of years they have been going to Stonehenge. Figures from 100
to 1000 have been suggested as the possible size of group to be admitted,
though others have suggested that the likely response is far in excess of
this - there is, presumably, only one way to find out.

Fourteen years on, nobody, let alone the Police, is interested in the
permanent perpetuation of the expensive annual 'Exclusion Zone' around
Stonehenge. Discussions to this end are still in progress, and as of yet
there is no indication that they will be relaxed this year, though both
English Heritage and Wiltshire Constabulary have made it clear that they
are willing to pursue its eventual dismantling "one step at a time".

There are divergent schools of thought also among Pagans and the
erstwhile festival folk. Many dislike the weight this one issue has been
given but will perhaps return the moment a definite move is made; others,
like the London-based Stonehenge Campaign and the persistent annual
procession of walkers, have not been party to these particular meetings
and do not advocate anything less than full open access (for which
negociations continue); a vocal but probably minority faction look for
the immediate re-establishment of the free festival; many of the bigger
pagan groups and Druid Orders have been quietly continuing Solstice
celebration at other sites all round Britain. But there is nobody who
isn't glad to see a move away from stalemate.

"The accused have never denied the charge of
misappropriating the funds of the Strasbourg Student Union.
Indeed, they openly admit to having made the union pay
nearly 5000 francs for the printing of 10,000 pamphlets, not
to mention the cost of other literature inspired by the
'Situationist International.' These publications express
aims and ideas which, to put it mildly, have nothing to do
with the purpose of a student union. . . . Rejecting all
morality and legal restraint, making sweeping denunciations
of their fellow students, their professors, God, religion,
the clergy, and the governments and political and social
systems of the entire world, these cynics do not hesitate to
advocate theft, the destruction of scholarship, the
abolition of work, total subversion, and a permanent
worldwide proletarian revolution with 'unrestrained
pleasure' as its only goal."
     --Judge Llabador, Strasbourg District Court (1966)

The situationists' notorious Strasbourg pamphlet "ON THE
POVERTY OF STUDENT LIFE" -- the prelude to the May 1968
revolt in France -- has been translated into more than a
dozen languages and reprinted in over half a million copies.
A new English translation, more accurate than any of the
previous versions, is now online at

http://www.slip.net/~knabb/SI/poverty.htm 

The site also includes new translations of the situationist
articles "Our Goals and Methods in the Strasbourg Scandal"
and "Beginning of an Era" (on the May '68 revolt). There is
also a brief discussion of the scandal in chapter 2 of "The
Joy of Revolution."

The Bureau of Public Secrets website, which has received
over 30,000 page hits from some 6000 visitors during its
first five months, features Ken Knabb's translations of
French situationist texts as well as many of Knabb's own
writings, including "The Joy of Revolution," "Confessions of
a Mild-Mannered Enemy of the State," and an assortment of
comics, leaflets and articles on Wilhelm Reich, Kenneth
Rexroth, Gary Snyder, the sixties counterculture, radical
women, Chinese anarchists, socially engaged Buddhists, urban
"psychogeography," the Watts riot, the Iranian uprising, the
Gulf war, and the recent jobless revolt in France. New texts
are being added every few days.

PORTSMOUTH THREE DEFENCE CAMPAIGN

c/o Box H, 167 Fawcett Road

The trial of 3 well known Portsmouth hunt saboteurs commences at =
Portsmouth Crown Court on 1st March 1999. This prosecution is =
politically motivated and must be opposed. The following describes =
events leading up to the prosecution and details why you should support =
the Portsmouth 3 and how you can help.

Because of the extreme violence that hunt saboteurs had experienced from =
members of the Hursley Hambledon fox hunt a large scale =
=E2=80=98sab=E2=80=99 was arranged so that saboteurs could attend the =
hunt in relative safety and use non-violent direct action in an attempt =
to prevent the hunt killing foxes. The defence campaign have seen sight =
of a police briefing which proves that they had advance knowledge of the =
planned sab. There was a police briefing in the morning and there were a =
large number of police specialist public order units in neighbouring =
farms. In addition to this a police vehicle followed the sab=E2=80=99s =
from their meeting point at a railway station to the hunt meet, yet =
turned off as the sab=E2=80=99s arrived at the meet. This left a =
potentially volatile situation of hunt supporters and hunt saboteurs =
un-policed apart from a police spotter plane so high up that the police =
have not been able to isolate and identify any of the perpetrators of =
violence.

The Hampshire police response to this was to indiscriminately arrest 42 =
saboteurs (of approx. 100 present) at roadblocks later that morning. The =
police then raided the homes, and in some cases business premises, of =
all 42 arrested in an operation that has far more to do with evidence =
gathering for Special Branch, the Public Order Intelligence Unit of =
Scotland Yard and the Animal Rights National Index (ARNI), than it has =
to do with solving crime. Each of the 42 arrested were held in police =
cells for between 30 to 36 hours and had all of their clothing seized as =
well as mobile phones, video cameras, sabbing equipment, etc. In =
addition 5 vehicles belonging to either sab groups or individuals were =
seized and impounded.
