HIGHGATE PROTEST CAMP CONTINUES - DAY 2

Tuesday, 13th August

7am
Activists arrived back at Highgate Farm to make sure the commuting traffic along Highgate Lane knew exactly what Geoffrey Douglas gets up to and what we think of his vile business! We continued to protest and set up camp again.

10am - 12 noon
The police have been threatening to move us some 20 meters further away from the camp when we are protesting. We have debated this sorely and told them it would be ridiculous and petty and questioned them what powers they were going to use today? However, they have not yet been able to state what reason or any 'lawful' grounds as yet and have not so far managed to enforce anything.

3pm
Geoffrey Douglas comes back from a trip out in his Lamborghini sports car, paid with the blood money of the tortured animals he supplies to labs across the UK.

4pm
The police turned up mob handed and have arrested two protesters that were using a megaphone and were later charged with "contravening a direction given by a police officer", but we will continue highlighting Highgate Farm despite these harassments from the 'tax-paid' public security aka Lincolnshire police, who must have solved all the crime in Lincolnshire to harass lawful, peaceful protesters.

5pm
All other unarrested members of the camp have been told they cannot go to Highgate Farm for the next 28 days! Otherwise they will be arrested, nice to know we live in a police state...

If anyone wishes to continue the protest camp or to go and demonstrate lawfully against the farm, the address is: Highgate Farm, Highgate Lane, Normanby-by-Spital, Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, LN8 2HQ

Please try and make it to Highgate Farm to show our disgust at this lab animal breeder and to continue to protest at this disgusting place, especially if you live in the area.
