[…] farmer freed. ‘I will fight on to the death.’ FARMER BILLY Buckler vowed to continue his fight over the loss of his historic family home and more than 70 acres of land […]

Interpretation and wider context

RECONSTRUCTION. The extract continues the story of N15-15 and shows that Mr Buckler said, after his release, that he would continue to contest the loss of the property. It refers to “more than 70 acres of land”, where the other cuttings describe a ten-acre site (N11). The extract does not say what land the 70 acres comprise. The Wiki’s treatment of the land held with the farm is on The Two Parcels. The figure is held as a reported claim and is not used to establish acreage. Compare the wording “fight this to the death” in N07 (April 1988).
