now for a change, heres a video i upped for another site so thought id stick it on here too
a brief history of the events
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Beanfield
now watch 10 minutes here, most of it is unbroadcast news footage, even the newsmen couldnt believe what they were seeing, men, women and children being beaten and their homes smashed to bits and burnt.

warning this footage brings me to tears EVERYTIME i see it, and fills me with rage, you have been warned, its shocking.
and heres the classic levellers (folk punk) song of the events
