THOUSANDS OF WOMEN from all over Britain, Europe and New Zealand are arriving at Greenham during the 10 days protest against NATO war 'indigo' and main gates to blockade the base. Thatcher's policy of direct repression using the courts, eviction, prison and police intimidation has failed to break up the camp and the power of Greenham to mobilise masses of women.
Well known from the camp had been arrested prior to the action in the hope of keeping the 'ringleaders' out the way, but they paid their fines, contrary to normal policy.
On Sunday they were picked out of the crowds by police and charged with obstruction. Police horses On Saturday and Sunday thousands sat down at were used for the first time at. Greenham on Sunday, with the deliberate intention OI intimidating and frightening us.
They walked through the blockade were pivotted round to bodily push shove aside, while foot police hauled at us from behind, at the risk of seriously inJuring women.
The blockade stopped many cars, if not US army vencies Sunday was London Day, with Jo Richardson the bright yellow Labour Party campaign bus.
This weekend will be the culmination of the action with thousands more women expected De there!
