Dale Farm travellers and activists gather to mark 10 years since the eviction of the largest traveller site in Europe and to protest against the Tories’ police bill, calling for the release of Charlie Anderson, sent to prison for seven months for the “crime” of living on his own land at Hovefields, Wickford (pictures on Charlie’s flattened land).
Charlie was picked up by police a the airport going to his honeymoon and jailed for 7 months.

Dale Farm Eviction
It has been a real privilege to document the Dale farm community over the past few years and share the joy and the sorrow at family events, on the protests and barricades. I will cherish the generosity and warmth shown to me at times of great emotional upset.
I hope the long battle against this eviction will mark in history a turning point, an end to the casual racism and vicious discrimination against travellers, gypsies and their way of life.
