Confrontation by Hawkwind

After the police stopped the "peace convoy"trying to get to the festival!
and the battle of the beanfield ensued!



Lyrics

I am not interested in anything you have to say!
I am not interested in anything you have to say!
I am not interested in anything you have to say!

During 1985 the activities of alternative groups such as the "peace
Convoy" posed a number of serious public order problems for the police.
In particular a violent confrontation took place at Hardcastle,
Wiltshire on Sunday 1st June when a convoy of 170 vehicles was being
driven towards Stonehenge at the time of the summer solstice celebrations,
in clear defiance of injunctions which were in force.
When the hippies were stopped, by a roadblock, from proceeding further,
they entered a nearby village, where a violent confrontation with the
Police took place and 420 persons were arrested.

I am not interested in anything you have to say!
I am not interested in anything you have to say!
I am not interested in anything you have to say!

"It is clear to me that the problem is not going to go away. nor do I
Believe it is going to be solved by the approach of shoot them, gas them
and send them back to the cities where they came from"!
Anything you say will be taken down and used in evidence against you!

I am not interested in anything you have to say!
I am not interested in anything you have to say!
I am not interested in anything you have to say!

Police Brutality
