  • Protester smoking a cigarette at night with 'No Motorway' graffiti. Near to Road protestor squats indoors. Along the M11 route. Cambridge Park Wanstead, Leytonstone, London. <br />
<br />
The British Road Protesters movement began in the early 1990s when the Donga tribe squatted Twyford Down to save this beautiful site, a site of scientific interest SSI from the Ministry of transport's road building programme which threatened to destroy the landscape. The Dongas was the name of the ancient walkways, the paths trodden in the middle ages by people walking down to Winchester. A small tribe were joined by people of all walks of life who came to Twyford Down to defend it. A long hard battle over several years ended in the 'cutting' a new motorway built through this ancient monument and destroying it. <br />
<br />
The Road Protest movement in Britain continued for many years and more battles were fought in London against the MII both at Wanstead then in Leytonstone, and subsequently at Newbury, and in Sussex. the protesters were very inventive in their use of non violent peaceful direct action. They barricaded themselves into squats, made tree houses, tunnels and have huge demonstrations against the bailliffs, police and security who tried to force their way through the defences of this alternative environmental popular movement. Many of the roads were built eventually and many sites of great beauty lost, but the government had to stand down from its road building policy and eventually the programme was halted. the protests cost the government billions. Out of that movement grew many environmental NGOs who have to this day kept fighting for ecological and sustainable environmental solutions rather than following the cult of the car, petrol and roadbuilding..

Before they lived happily in Vicolo Savini inside Rome itself. Castel Romano, Italy 2008..Roma Gypsies left Rajasthan in India a thousand years ago, in the ninth and tenth centuries. They were pushed west by the Ottoman Muslim Empire as it moved through Persia towards the frontiers of Europe. They entered Europe in the foutrteenth century and were slaves in Romania and Moldavia until the mid 1850s. There are about 15 million Roma gypries in the world, about 12 million who live in Europe. they are Europe's largest ethnic minority. They have rich traditions and culture, their own language. They are renowned for their prowess in music and dance; they are also skilled craftsman, metal roofmakers, silver and goldsmiths. Their traveling and nomadic lifestyle which grew from a necessity to find work, and because they were often moved on from one place to the next, has given them both a liberty but also marks them as different and they are often feared by sedentary peoples, who label and scapegoat them. They are hardy survivors and live in the brunt of racism and prejudice, often marginalised, living in poverty, without proper human rights afforded to them..

  • A large sheet with "Please let London Breathe" hangs from a treehouse as road protestors occupy the scaffolding tower and buildings as the eviction begins. Claremont Road, Leytonstone, London. Claremont Road, ran immediately next to the Central line, and was completely occupied by protesters. The road became a vibrant squatter community full of site specific art installations. 92-year-old Dolly Watson was an original resident refused the D.O.T's offer to move. She became friends with the road protesters, who named the watchtower, built from scaffold poles, after her.<br />

The British Road Protesters movement began in the early 1990s when the Donga tribe squatted Twyford Down to save this beautiful site, a site of scientific interest SSI from the Ministry of transport's road building programme which threatened to destroy the landscape. The Dongas was the name of the ancient walkways, the paths trodden in the middle ages by people walking down to Winchester. A small tribe were joined by people of all walks of life who came to Twyford Down to defend it. A long hard battle over several years ended in the 'cutting' a new motorway built through this ancient monument and destroying it. <br />

In the early morning of 7 December 1993, several hundred police and bailiffs arrived to evict the protesters, which took a day hours to carry out.<br />

The Freegan Pony is an alternative restaurant housed in a squat. It was founded in 2015 by Aladdin Charni with three other collaborators. The restaurant specialises in cheap vegetarian cuisine, serving meals which guests reserve a place through a Facebook group, paying €2 a meal. The restaurant meals contain unsold and donated food, collected from wholesellers at the Paris Rungis vegetable market. The Freegan Pony is located at the Porte de la Vilette on the outskirts of Paris, at the entrance to the peripherique outer circle motorway.<br />
<br />
Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. Freeganism is the practice of reclaiming and eating food that has been discarded. People who attempt to live an ethical lifestyle by reusing trash and rubbish thrown away by others.<br />
<br />
Freeganism is an ill-defined activity and is a subset of the larger anti-capitalist and environmental protest movements. It embraces alternative, anti-consumerist lifestyles. Freegan practices also include co-operative living, squatting and "freecyling", or matching things that people want to get rid of with things other people need

The British Road Protesters movement began in the early 1990s when the Donga tribe squatted Twyford Down to save this beautiful site, a site of scientific interest SSI from the Ministry of transport's road building programme which threatened to destroy the landscape. The Dongas was the name of the ancient walkways, the paths trodden in the middle ages by people walking down to Winchester. A small tribe were joined by people of all walks of life who came to Twyford Down to defend it. A long hard battle over several years ended in the 'cutting' a new motorway built through this ancient monument and destroying it. <br />
<br />
The Road Protest movement in Britain continued for many years and more battles were fought in London against the MII both at Wanstead then in Leytonstone, and subsequently at Newbury, and in Sussex. the protesters were very inventive in their use of non violent peaceful direct action. They barricaded themselves into squats, made tree houses, tunnels and have huge demonstrations against the bailliffs, police and security who tried to force their way through the defences of this alternative environmental popular movement. Many of the roads were built eventually and many sites of great beauty lost, but the government had to stand down from its road building policy and eventually the programme was halted. the protests cost the government billions. Out of that movement grew many environmental NGOs who have to this day kept fighting for ecological and sustainable environmental solutions rather than following the cult of the car, petrol and roadbuilding..
