The protestors' nemesis
Nick Blandy was Under Sheriff of Berkshire, responsible for evicting protestors from their tree-top camps.
Nick and his team of climbers and bailiffs became enemies of the campaigners, who called them 'Mr Blandy and his Merry Men'.
Twenty years since the protests, Nick tells Andrew Peach his memories of battling the campaigners in freezing cold conditions.
