Hi.

Judging from IndyMedia bulletin board, my original anger over countryside
trashing has opened Pandora's Box!
Someone posted a supporting message and hell has broken out.

Leaving aside the minority (FUCK! WE'LL GO WHERE WE LIKE, DO WHAT WE
WANT), and those from fools who have zero
respect, liking, or tolerance of nature, three very real concerns emerge.
First is weight of legislastion, licensing laws. Red tape has ALWAYS
been bad, but today's Nanny State takes the biscuit. More they
legislate, more folks struggle to find ways around.
It's a never-ending & pernicious circle. Our freedoms are being
buffeted from all sides, so no wonder people fight back.
There is real anger out there. My plea is - don't take it out on the
innocent, don't direct it towards the birds and the beasts,
don't trash the few open spaces left to us. Channel it, instead against
the perpetrators. One guy wrote that he lived under the flightpath
into Heathrow, so why shouldn't he come and beat up a quiet spot in the
country in retaliation!
What a banana! For fuck's sake, if he's angry about Heathrow,
where was he during our fights against T.5? Where was he
when we demonstrated outside the agm's of BAA & BA? Where was we when
did a go-slow through the tunnel, and caused gridlock? If he wants to
PARTY WITH A POINT - go 'party' in Lord Marshall's backyard.

Second thing is the numbers game. Large is NOT beautiful, as you know
from Brighton Beach. Trouble here is that
commercial interests & 'mainstream' media have picked up on what they see
as the latest trend. Hence all those fences around Glastonbury,
sleazebag 'security' company in charge etc, etc. Publications like
MixMag get their info from your own bulletin boards. Then they
manipulate, distort and SELL.

Most serious, though, is Hinkley Point. People wrote DEAD space, no
birds in sight. If you were a nesting, wading bird would you hang around
while 10,000 people brought their vehicles, fumes, noise, into your
'home'? Another banana . . .
Hinkley, however, is a major concern. Bristol Channel contaminated.
Burnham -on - Sea has cancer levels way above the
nat. average. Shellfish found glowing in the dark off Welsh coast.
Yet, as I write, DTI & 'gov' making plans to build Hinkley C.
The STOP HINKLEY campaign has been fighting valiently against this outrage
for many, many years. Their cause has been highlighted and undermined
by your beach rave. The result will be barbed wire and armed guards
surrounding the entire area.

If only instead of garbage, the party people had left behind them notices:
DANGER. CONTAMINATED AREA. RADIATION.
KEEP OUT!.

That would have been a party with a point; instead, like Brighton Beach,
it was a costly, overblown mistake. The guy from under the Heathrow
flightpath has recovered from his hangover, and he's back under the planes
and the pollution. The
'locals' of Bridgwater Bay have returned to their homes and the radiation.
The wading birds have tried to hatch a second brood.

Final ? Will these folks return, in the same numbers, to support the
STOP HINKLEY campaign?

Sadly, I fear not - they will have moved on to trash innocents elsewhere.

Best,

Jenny
