"Why the UK crushed the traveller convoys" read by Dicky Dread from the book he is writing
“The conflict was never simply about caravans or festivals. It became a wider struggle over visibility, land and who gets to live outside conventional systems.”

In this video:
– The origins of the traveller convoy movement
– Stonehenge, Beanfield and state confrontation
– How free festivals, ravers and travellers became linked
– Why alternative living became politically controversial

Don Aitken, from the Festival Welfare Services, delivers a short history of the People's #FreeFestival from Windsor to #Stonehenge, delving inside the police’s mindset prior to and during the #Beanfield in 1985, the UK’s drift into becoming a police state, and police inconsistencies during The Beanfield trial in 1990/91. Part of the ‘Operation Solstice’ video archive, most of it unseen, released in time for the 40th Anniversary of The Beanfield on June 1 2025.

#Beanfield has been incredible so far. Not only is their network offering superior to #Bell, but unlike Bell, I could just terminate connection to my own router. Didn't need to use their router at all. And they even changed our rj11 sockets to rj45, to get the hardline to the center of the house, for a change, for the router.

This sub-site, contains the text and pictures from the period around the early 1970′s to the late 1990′s. The years in which my tribe developed the gatherings around the country that became the Free Festival Circuit. ’New Age Travellers’, assorted hippies, punks, urbanites , festival goers and general people then found themselves labelled as the ‘Peace Convoy’. Quite central to this life was the gathering for the summer solstice at Stonehenge. [some say Glastonbury as well]. The authorities watching some of these developments with some alarm, became increasingly belligerent and attacked these gathering with some violence. One of the more famous examples was the attack on the Peace Convoy by 1600 policemen from 5 police forces on the Wiltshire / Hampshire border. It became known as the Battle of the Beanfield and it will never ….. I say never be forgot by many of us. The following few years got increasingly unpleasent with the force and application of increasingly oppressive law … leading to the Public Order Act 1986.

Closest fiber provider to me is #Beanfield, in Toronto. Despite being out of their fiber network, I may end up signing up with them for cable, when my prices inevitably jack up anyways.
