Interpretation and wider context

RECONSTRUCTION. This is the next-day Echo report of the abandoned eviction attempt of 29 April 1988 (N07). It supports the April dating of the stand-off. It gives “a dozen” police officers; N07 gives “around 15”. The Wiki records both figures without choosing between them. The extract does not mention the chainsaw.
