Due to various commitments i had to leave climate camp on saturday having been there since monday 13th. It was quite depressing knowing i was missing the big action. However my inspirational 10 year old son suggested we took action in newcasle city centre this morning (monday20th). He dressed as batman and I was a clown. We descended on monument, at 8am with help from 2 other local activists (who kindly printed 300 leaflets about the cause)! We made banners, "Climate Change Kills" and "Stop BAA". The local press came, interviewed my son and took photos! We are hoping to make The Evening Chronicle tomorrow. The action lasted approx 90 minutes and we got a good response from the public. Although more "fluffy" than we would have liked my son was loving it and demands to come to climate camp next year as i was unable to bring him this time.
