McLibel Update

McLibel Defendant Dave Morris and son Charlie are threatened with eviction which may leave them in B&B and their belongings, including the McLibel office, in storage.

But he and local residents have fought back. On May 22nd about 60 people turned up to defend the house, play drums and generally have a good time (especially the kids with the water balloons). About 20 bailiffs, council officials and police arrived to find the party in full swing and wandered around aimlessly trying to work out what to do. The chief of police finally withdrew everyone from the scene and assured Dave there would be no eviction that day. It was a magnificent victory but they could be back any time with no warning.
