Well I think the police were great too in the support that they gave to our protest - even protecting our blockade from having cars driven through.

A police spokeswoman said they were pleased that the vast majority of the 1500 plus protestors had been peaceful and co-operative and acting assistant chief constable Steve Cotterill said: "We are pleased the protest has been mainly peaceful. We have made fewer arrests than last year."
Officers made a total of 19 arrests for "sporadic behaviour" - fewer than last year.

From todays press -
'Four people have been charged after a protest by about 1,500 people against the BNP's 10th annual Red, White and Blue festival in Derbyshire.
Three were charged with public order offences and a fourth with unlawfully obstructing the highway.'

I can't see any mention of drugs or weapons - all the reports seem to indicate any 'weapons' used consisted of plastic bottles and bags of flour

I travelled on an 'official' UAF coach - in fact absolutely no drugs (excluding cigarettes) or weapons were allowed on board.
