Bailiffs surrounded Britain's biggest traveller settlement on Monday to carry out a mass eviction, but residents chained themselves to barricades and vowed to resist the clearance. Around 200 remaining travellers and supporters locked themselves in, blocking the main gate with a van and setting up barricades using tires and barrels filled with concrete. The sign reads, "Danger of death. Behind this gate a woman is attached by her neck. If you attempt to open this gate you will kill her." By Adrian Dennis/AFP/Getty Images.
