Confrontation

I am not interested in anything you have to say

During 1985 the activities of alternative groups such as the "peace

Convoy" posed a number of serious public order problems for the police

In particular a violent confrontation took place at hard castle

Wiltshire on Sunday 1st June when a convoy of 170 vehicles was being

Driven towards stone henge at the time of the summer solstice

Celebrations, in clear defiance of injunctions which were in force

When the hippies were stopped, by a roadblock, from proceeding further

They entered a nearby village where a violent confrontation with the

Police took place and 420 persons were arrested

I am not interested in anything you have to say

"it is clear to me that the problem is not going to go away. nor do I

Believe it is going to be solved by the approach of 'shot them, gas

Them, and send them back to the cities where they came from.'"

Anything you say will be taken down and used in evidence against you
