Powerful call out video (4 mins). Please watch, act and share.
18/2/20
Aquifer works are imminent at Harvil, drill in position to start today. The aquifer supplies 3.5 million peoples drinking water (22% of London’s drinking water and much of Bucks). HS2 have applied to re route the water supply from the Blackford group of pumping stations near Harvil road, to Watford which is Thames Water. Affinity Water have protested on the basis that they won’t be able to guarantee the ongoing purity and safety of the water.
Support in any form is needed today, including people to legally observe and/or film the situation or simply bring along some food or drink for fellow activists who are locked on.
if you cannot attend today, please share this video far and wide and in particular please tweet it to news organisations and journalists as there is a story here that we might be able to get them to cover.

I'm writing to you today with a personal perspective of a recent abusive, misogynistic, intimidatory insult spat at me during the secind part of my livestream on Wednesday, 22nd June. May I say off the bat, thank you to all who viewed and shared the recent livestreams of the Tour of Britain's Most Illegal Railway organised by Sarah Green, Green Party member for Hillingdon. I'm feeling quite shocked about the incident (which can be viewed in the short clip below) for two reasons. Firstly: shocked because it was a pretty rubbish heckle. I mean seriously, if you are going to heckle me, at least let it make some kind of sense. Secondly: shocked because of the reaction it is receiving outside of protest circles from those who are simply not used to the shit many of us have put up with throughout our campaigning. With this second thought in mind I want to quickly add a disclaimer. Folks - some of you have experienced really harsh verbal abuse, sexist, homophobic and racist discrimination and abuse and physical attack. I've witnessed some of this and some I have experienced myself. This by no means a "poor me" post and I don't wish to sensationalise something which pales into insignificance in the shadow cast by sone horrendous abuse. In the grand scale of things Im surprised at the reaction that the incident which occurred on Wednesday is receiving. We are used to this kind of abuse which we might consider to be quite minor....we've become somewhat desensitised. This in of itself is a very sad indictment of the manner in which HS2 workers and also, I'm sorry to say, the cops, have routinely behaved: habitually appalling behaviour and attitudes which are endemic and systemic. I feel that the root of the problem comes from the rhetoric being used at ministerial level about protesters, the fascist sanctions being undemicratically imposed against protesting, the manner in which the power tripping police are giving enahnced stop and search and arrest powers and especially the HS2 induction process during which workers are fed lies, exaggeration and negatively skewed expectations of protester behaviour which encourages fear and discrimination against even the most mild mannered protesters and campaigners. We cannot allow abuse, discrimination and assault to go unchecked and unaccounted for although I am sympathetic with the fatigue and lack of resources that precludes many of us from following through on complaints. But we must. HS2 Ltd and tge Department for Transport used any kind of mud they could possibly sling at us during the route wide injunction hearing so we must log all complaints and try as much as we can to following through on incidents even they seem minor and it seems futile to do so. I'm convinced that HS2 complaints making procedure is designed to be as unusable as possible to disuade people from engaging in and pursuing complaints. I'm guilty as charged on this one. I've hit many a brick wall and quite honestly, at the height of my front line activities every day brought a new revelation that was worthy of complaint but there's only so mamy hours in the day and only suo much energy one can expend on this seemingly thankless process. I get it. I really do. But this one I am going to see to the bitter end because in this occasion I have categoric evidence.. So to those of you within HS2 Ltd and your contractors and sub contractors (and the police) and any other detractors reading this post I say this: sit up, buckle up and get ready for a fight if you want one. I feel no fear when truth is on my side. So I have no fear. 👊🏻 Please do share, tweet, write to your MP and HS2 Ltd about this, any other and indeed your own experiences past, present and future to expose HS2 Ltd. Another clip with subtitles is about to be released and there will be a news item broadcast on Bucks Radio on Monday. Again....please spread these around as much as you can.
HS2 worker caught on video shouting sexist abuse at protester
www.bucks.radio
A woman from Winslow who was protesting peacefully against HS2 this week, was verbally abused with offensive, misogynistic language as she walked past a construction site.I'm any other workplace this sort of behaviour would be grounds for instant dismissal. There's been violence, homophobic slurs, sexist slurs and a whole manner of bad behaviour from HS2 employees. It's almost as if it's encouraged. The whole project is out of control. This person needs identifying and reporting. This sort of behaviour has no place in the workplace.
If you are Following the Stonehenge Tunnel opposition as well that Rolo Maughfling won a Court case to intervention in.. Apparently now the Highways department are still going ahead & ignoring it. Well.. look here this is established principle in law from at least 1930s.. Those in Councils or Governments who Commission Roads & highways or other works & projects, if they are found to have buisness interests themselves in the work.. They must quit/leave as its illegal. Now Following on from the Anonymous video that shows how the Aristocracy in fact own all the shares in the Big Contractors who are doing the roadworks, Balfour Beattie, Kier and the Hoses too Tailor Wimpey.. In fact Earl Dartmouth Is building houses near us, trying to, & god knows how he personally got the lands as it was meant to be owned by the council, given to the local people. it is now evident that political parties, telling councillors how to vote on roads & building.. & rail.. are pulling the strings & the fact is they have PERSONAL BUISNESS INTERESTS THEMSELVES in proffit from these huge contractors.. Kier... Balfour Beattie. I mean just look at the names. Kier is one of her Majesty's Knights Starmer. Its totally illegal that the Peerage & House of lords have personal buisness interests in these projects. & we need to do something, either action through the Supreme court or something. As the CPS will not do anything as Kier was Head of CPS. The Ministers & i believe even supreme court judges might have shares too in these big buisnesses & out to proffit from the projects & roads, even the Stonehenge tunnel. Therefore we need to spread awareness of this please. youtu.be/ghP7kImI9WM & youtu.be/-pbJW026GEk
Just want to send all my love & best wishes for all those facing this farcical ‘court case’ from tomorrow, I’ll be thinking of you all 💚
Guys can i ask a question?
If is by Kier definitely yes. They have done the same in Stoke Mandeville. They took homes away from people as HS2 and then sold land to Kier and build 50 new houses.
Ok Guys, Would anyone please be able to do a bit of Research I find the personal Contact Details for William Legge 10Th Earl of Dartmouth please? He is affiliated with Johnson Mowatt www.johnsonmowat.co.uk/consultations/hs3-lepton-huddersfield/?fbclid=IwAR1ccsv3enxL9QtorqRfW0Vk2T... So the Earls & peerage are heavily involved in this Development. I find this highly Concerning taking into account these two Videos recently that elaborate on how this peerage pretty much owns "Everything" And I believe is behind directing the Purchase & development of the CO-OP at the Village & the Political Parties on the Council who's councillors take order from Party HQ on what to vote for. They Had decided to Expand the King James School in Almondbury Village, which will be a Nightmare as the roads are all narrow & Windy! But they already started doing it.. And now the Application for HS2 and H3 houses is put in!! 😱 This is all heavily co-ordinated & timed planning & purchases. Its actually like a Military procedure in effect.. You MUST watch these, to be fully updated of the current situation, THIS EFFECTS ALL OF US THE WHOLE UK, in our Heritage sites & protecting them! youtu.be/-pbJW026GEk then watch this for confirmation: youtu.be/ghP7kImI9WM Here is the Image of what these HS2 and HS3 Development plans is connected to!! I think its all tied into this "northern Powerhouse" plan. & the HS2 Railway line that Extinction Rebellion Protesters are heavily opposing up & down the Country - On Site! Many Woodlands being protected & saved, or they are trying to! www.infrastructure-intelligence.com/article/dec-2014/case-building-hs3-hs2?fbclid=IwAR1DLHsrJW07W... this actually is nowhere near Us & they do not need this at all. It is going to ruin the area.
The reason I mention this is Because LOADS of Countryside is being effected.. Woodlands WALKS, TRACKS all up & down the country, in fact they have People On-Site actually protecting many Walks & Tracks from what's going on!! See how this whole thing is having an Effect on Our Hillfort & surrounding area!! By the houses coming close to it!! Just like what Had been Happening to Old Oswestry! The Warrior Tomb Already was built on! We are ALL going to be in this Situation soon, if we do not come together to do something, because as it shows in those videos I put these people are behind EVERYTHING that happening, Directing it all! 😮
Taxpayers money spent on guarding a road verge, purely to cut off access to a protest camp on land they can't touch
