Two protesters were Tasered and one person arrested in clashes with
bailiffs and riot police when the planned eviction of the UK's
largest illegal travellers' site got under way today.
Essex Police said: "Officers have this morning entered the Dale Farm
site following intelligence which informed the commanders that anyone
entering the site was likely to come up against violence and a
serious breach of the peace would occur.
"Intelligence received indicated protesters had stockpiled various
items with the intent of using these against bailiffs and police.
"The first officers on the site were attacked with missiles being
thrown, including rocks and liquids. These officers were fully
equipped to deal with this situation."
At least 50 officers led the operation to clear the site.
Female residents ran to their homes and broke down in tears as the
police line advanced.
Supporters quickly erected barricades inside the site as police held
the line, securing the rear area.
Electricity supplies have been cut. Supporters say this has turned
off crucial medical equipment belonging to elderly residents.
Supporters chanted: "F*** the police, no justice, no peace."
They also set fire to a caravan placed across the street inside Dale Farm.
Paramedics were escorted on to the site by supporters to treat
resident Nora Egan, who claims she suffered back injuries in a
confrontation with police.
She said: "This is being led by the police, there is no sign of bailiffs."
Margaret Sheridan also claimed she was injured. "They're rough and
there is no reasoning with them."
Kathleen McCarthy, a Dale Farm resident, said: "The memory of Dale
Farm will weigh heavily on Britain for generations - we are being
dragged out of the only homes we have in this world.
"Our entire community is being ripped apart by Basildon Council and
the politicians in Government."
Lily Hayes, a human rights observer, said: "Basildon Council are
violating the court order by smashing in the walls of a fully legal
plot on the Dale Farm site. They are also acting unnecessarily brutally."
Basildon Council leader Tony Ball condemned the violence.
He said: "The premeditated and organised scenes of violence that we
have already seen, with protesters throwing rocks and bricks,
threatening police with iron bars and setting fire to a caravan, are shocking.
"These are utterly disgraceful scenes and demonstrate the fact some
so-called supporters were always intent on violence.
"Nonetheless we are going to press on with this operation with our
partners in a safe, dignified and humane way and will uphold the law."
Resident Kathleen McCarthy claimed three women had been injured by
the police. One suffered facial injuries, she said.
Mrs McCarthy added: "We planned to lock on to our homes and resist
eviction but not for violence. The police provoked violence with the
way they came in.
"We will do our best to stay but it looks like we have no hope."
Bailiffs remained outside the main gate, which was largely intact.

revealed; and nothing hid that shall not be made known. What I tell
you in darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye hear in the
ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27
