Meadview Eviction

I'm sorry to report that the local people and Rainbow Common Wealth activists who had been running their community centre at the old Meadview Nursery in Littlehampton, West Sussex, were forced out of their home by a huge force of riot police today, see here for background: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/rainbow-commonwealth-eviction_21.html. It's not over yet; they have returned. I'm sorry I couldn't get there myself and stand beside them. If you can, please go along! Here's are the statements issued by the Rainbow Common Wealth about what took place. Also some coverage by my friend and fellow researcher Lisa Sunkmanitu Wakan. Lisa recently fought alongside over seven hundred other people in the successful defence of Tom Crawford against his own illegal eviction, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/je-suis-tom.html:
