Summary:
Author of The Battle of the Beanfield, which 
describes the police attack on hundreds of 
travellers in convoy toward Stonehenge festival, 
Andy Worthington and traveller Sean join us to 
discuss the social and political reasons why the 
UKs 1970s and 1980s New Age travellers 
appeared when they did. Sean trained as an HGV 
mechanic so was helping maintain many vehicles, 
he describes life on the road, the practicalities 
of moving night after night and relations with 
neighbours and the police. Sean was at important 
festivals such as Nostell Priory. Ultimately 
the traveller convoy was part of a wider 
movement against the changes being brought in 
by the Thatcher government, forced repeated 
evictions by landowners and, since they had been 
forced out of permanent bricks and mortar homes 
to live out of vehicles, was about land rights and property.

Nostell Priory festival 1984

On June 1st 1985, a convoy of new travellers, 
peace protesters, green activists and 
festival-goers set off from Savernake Forest in 
Wiltshire to establish the 12th annual free 
festival at Stonehenge. There were around 450 
people in total, and they included a number of 
women and children. They never reached their 
destination. Eight miles from the Stones they 
were ambushed, assaulted and arrested with 
unprecedented brutality by a quasi-military 
police force of over 1,300 officers drawn from 
six counties and the MoD. That event has gone 
down in history as The Battle of the Beanfield. 
This book is the combined effort of a large 
number of people who feel passionately that only 
through reaching an understanding of what 
actually occurred before, during and after The 
Battle of the Beanfield can a proper closure 
take place for those involved and the many people 
who have been in some way touched by it.

'From South America, where payment must be made 
with subtlety, the Bormann organization has made 
a substantial contribution. It has drawn many of 
the brightest Jewish businessmen into a 
participatory role in the development of many of 
its corporations, and many of these Jews share 
their prosperity most generously with Israel. If 
their proposals are sound, they are even provided 
with a specially dispensed venture capital fund. 
I spoke with one Jewish businessmen in Hartford, 
Connecticut. He had arrived there quite unknown 
several years before our conversation, but with 
Bormann money as his leverage. Today he is more 
than a millionaire, a quiet leader in the 
community with a certain share of his profits 
earmarked as always for his venture capital 
benefactors. This has taken place in many other 
instances across America and demonstrates how 
Bormanns people operate in the contemporary 
commercial world, in contrast to the fanciful 
nonsense with which Nazis are described in so much literature.

So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish 
participation in Bormann companies that when 
Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv 
to stand trial, it produced a shock wave in the 
Jewish and German communities of Buenos Aires. 
Jewish leaders informed the Israeli authorities 
in no uncertain terms that this must never happen 
again because a repetition would permanently 
rupture relations with the Germans of Latin 
America, as well as with the Bormann 
organization, and cut off the flow of Jewish 
money to Israel. It never happened again, and the 
pursuit of Bormann quieted down at the request of 
these Jewish leaders. He is residing in an 
Argentinian safe haven, protected by the most 
efficient German infrastructure in history as 
well as by all those whose prosperity depends on his well-being.'
