GHF-E114 — Branwen Buckler: September 2026 family testimony on the 1988 removal
Catalogue number: GHF-E114
Evidence type: Family testimony / recollection recorded in a closed family discussion, September 2026.
The family reports that Branwen Buckler gave a first-hand recollection in a closed family discussion in September 2026 concerning what happened to her during the 1988 removal operation. The family says this account differs materially from the ITV report’s presentation of why she was at the house.
- Branwen says she went to Great House Farm to get medicine from the house, rather than to serve the writ as the ITV report presents it.
- She recalls that the men detaining her appeared to be soldiers.
- She says she was dragged by her arms from behind, kicked while struggling, and thrown over the gated entrance to her own home.
- She landed in a puddle.
- She says she was pregnant at the time.
- She says her shoulder was dislocated, consistent with her being shown in a sling in the ITV footage.

Interpretation and evidential limits
This is family evidence, not an independently verified account. It should be preserved because it is a first-hand recollection that can be compared against the contemporary ITV footage, press reports, court/enforcement records, medical records and any contemporaneous police or bailiff documentation that can be obtained.
The apparent discrepancy between “went to get medicine” and the ITV description of “trying to serve” an injunction is a specific factual question for corroboration. The family should not assume the ITV account is false without examining the underlying circumstances and any contemporaneous record.
