Ten years ago hundreds of anti-road protesters were evicted from a row of houses in Wanstead by an army of 600 police, security guards and bailiffs. The houses were flattened to make way for the infamous M11 link road through East London. This and many of the following protests were to define the way for increasingly diverse direct action for years to come.

Pre-EU Mayday Press Propaganda! Oh YES! - Associated Newspapers in Ireland

"ARMY ON STANDBY FOR RIOT" - Who could forget that screaming hysterical pre-Mayday 2000 Evening Standard headline, and all the other classics we've seen!
