Well the uni asked for the earth to see what they would get....bit like asking for a ridiculously large sum of money for ur house to see what ul get. So, in a way, they have won, cos they got SOMETHING but nowhere near as much as they wanted.

Maisie, dont believe what the news stations are saying....they are bigging the Uni up and saying theyve won but this is whats happened: The Uni wanted us all the way out of Oxford. They got: an extra 10 metres on the exclusion zone at the site. They also wanted the demo to be reduced to one hour a week. They didnt get that. They also wanted the numbers from 50 people to 15. They didnt get that. Nothing has changed except the ten metres added on and we arnt allowed to use the megaphone. Funders are not to be protected like they wanted either. Its gone really well!! ;D I was really gutted when I heard the enws but thank you suacyvegan , you have put me in a much better mood now , you are right , thank you for putting me in a better mood lol

Saucy, they said everyone connected to Oxford Uni would be protected. Is that not true? Please clarify for me, are we still allowed to write letters to vodaphone and other companies with connections? Are we still allowed to wait for the builders going home and shout at them? Are we still allowed to shout and chant (without megaphone) on ordinary demos?

Everyone connected to Oxford will be protected but they always have been. Apart from Vodaphone and other funders who arnt covered. All funders are a target!! Yep we can still shout at the builders but down that side Road where they come out....the exclusion zone is another 10 yards. And yes we can still shout and chant.....as far as im aware....if ive got this right, we can still use megaphones on demo's apart from the regular Thursday one. They are still reading through the injunction papers but that is the gist of it!! Bet they are gutted that they didnt get the weekly demo reduced to one hour haha...the t*ssers!!

and the oxford mails view on it : www.oxfordmail.net/display.var.773882.0.university_wins_lab_ban_battle.phpUniversity wins lab ban battle Oxford University today won an extension of its existing injunction against animal rights activists. Mr Justice Holland's ruling was the latest round in the battle over the new £20m biomedical research laboratory site in South Parks Road. The judge, sitting at London's High Court, agreed that the present exclusion zone was too small and should be "moderately" increased in size. continued... He also banned the use of megaphones during the weekly demonstration on Thursday. The judge said the actual or threatened activities of extremists constituted a "serious ongoing problem" for the university. The original injunction allowed a demonstration opposite the site each Thursday afternoon, but otherwise banned all protest activities, including the use of amplified noise or cameras, within a designated exclusion zone. 12:39pm Friday 26th May 2006

Good old Morrissey.
Did anyone hear on the news today that Vodaphone are suffering the worst losses ever?
Had to laugh cos it serves them right for putting so much funding into Oxford and the lab.
