We arrived at the site in Essex on Saturday or rather a car park about half a mile away having been forced to park my car a good two miles away and walk the rest of the way. We sat around with people chatting and watching the events unfold as the police had already stopped all but one stage. Eventually we decide enough is enough and we ask a policeman the best way back to where we are parked. He points to a farm track and tells us to follow that until it meets the lane then turn left.
We start on our way and after about 10 minutes a landrover comes down the track, stops in front of us and these two big guys run over hurling foul-mouthed abuse, throw us to the floor and start kicking us saying we are on their land etc. To my horror they laid into the young girl I was with as hard as they were kicking me. They dragged me by my jacket, ripping it way beyond repair and causing everything to drop out the pockets. I am now down a couple of hundred pounds, a digital camera, a USB memory stick and everything else that was in my pockets. Luckily my mobile was in a zippered trouser pocket so I still have that along with my car keys.
After what seemed an eternity of constant abuse and a steady rain of kicks, punches and other assorted ways of inflicting pain they told us to start walking across a field to the nearest road and to stay off their land. Their miniscule brains seemed incapable of comprehending that the track we were on was a public right of way with no signs to indicate private property. We didnt go through any gates or over any fences and were perfectly entitled to be walking there. When I got to my car I called the police and, to their credit, they acted swiftly, arresting the sheep-shagging Neanderthals which were the cause of my face being liberally smeared with blood and my lips swollen up. We identified them, gave a brief statement before the police doctor decided we should go to the local hospital to be sure. Apparently I have two cracked ribs plus lots of bruising. I have just had a very close call involving emergency surgery for peritonitis and 10 weeks in hospital. I dread to think what damage their boots have done to the still-healing parts of my body but I have a scan booked for tomorrow to be sure. Kristina has lots of bruising, a cut lip and concussion so they kept her in overnight. Im too thick-headed to get concussion but I took several boots to the head so I suppose what I am putting down to exhaustion must be the results of the Barleymows having their annual raver kicking festival.
I have made it very clear to the police we both want to press full charges. No doubt theyll play the poor farmer driven mad by the drug-addled raver scum but I am very much looking forward to giving evidence against them and pleading the case for the re-introduction of the electric chair for their crimes. They kept shouting that we were off our heads on drugs and drink but we hadnt taken anything so the blood tests they took at the hospital will come up negative. I dont care what they say, there is absolutely no excuse for a terrifying, completely unprovoked and extremely violent attack on a young girl or even on the big girls blouse walking with her (yours truly). It doesnt matter if we had half the annual production of Columbia up our noses or had drunk the bars dry just before leaving, a violent physical attack like that causing some very painful injuries is against the law plain and simple and I have every intention of pushing this case to court and hopefully teach the agricultural Kray twins a much-deserved lesson. Violence is for those who lack the intelligence to find a peaceful solution and the social skills to interact with those of any intelligence of normal or above (Essex Police for example). Oh well, at this present moment in time they are looking at the world through windows with bars on them, a sight I hope they get very used to in the next few years. The police are coming tomorrow to get a detailed statement and if I hear of any more developments I will post them on here. Truly a most unpleasant and terrifying experience.
