Large HS2 Security Operation Removes Swampy From Colne River Denham
Add to Lightbox DownloadHS2 security guards form a line across the River Colne in front of Dan Hooper, widely known as Swampy during the 1990s, and a large cherry picker containing a bailiff on 8th December 2020 in Denham, United Kingdom. The climate and roads activist had occupied a bamboo tripod positioned in the river the previous day in order to delay the building of a bridge as part of works for the controversial HS2 high-speed rail link and a large security operation involving officers from at least three police forces, National Eviction Team enforcement agents and HS2 security guards was put in place to facilitate his removal.
