police soon change their tune...

About 1.30pm this afternoon a squat in easton was a target of illegal eviction attempt.

Police, accompanying the owners threatened to "kick the door down in half an hour" if the occupants didn't leave. In about 20 minutes, around 20 local residents turned to show their concern to what was going on. The Police soon changed their tune, and before you knew it they had spoken to the owners and things would now proceed through court.
