Image: EV-0089 — Press cutting: “Chainsaw farmer vows to fight on” (Andrew Penman), eviction attempt
Quotation: “Then they started smashing the doors with poleaxes. My children were right behind the door when the axe came through. That’s when I started my chainsaw and pushed it through the door. They backed off then.”
Proves: Reports an eviction attempt at Great House Farm, Llandough, involving bailiffs and police, resisted over four hours, with competing accounts from Mr Buckler and a BP spokesman.
Does not prove: Does not establish farm ownership or confirm bailiffs’ conduct beyond Mr Buckler’s account; Newspaper, exact date, and BP’s procedural claims remain unconfirmed.
