Paint your Wagon
When the painted wagons of the Peace Convoy made their way to Stonehenge last month, the ensuing scenes of confusion between riot police and Convoy were more reminiscent of the Wild West than the West of England.
The vehicles are the homes of a number of different groups - from young families and unemployed couples to the hippies and anarchists much featured in the press. They share a communal life on the road, and for many the annual Midsummer Festival at Stonehenge is a religious as well as a social gathering. There is an injunction against their return to the site, but does the threat of this life under a wandering star warrant such high-profile policing?
