Breaching the Kingsnorth Fence

This seems to be the main story of the day. Activists who made it to the fence utilised some tempory fencing put up by the cops to make some convenient ladders. The riot squad eventually showed up a cleared people away but not before several individuals had made it across.

Making use...

...of those Police supplied ladders.

One very outnumbered motorbike cop.

Going over the top.

Inside.

Another intruder for the planet.

The scrum begins.

And continues.

Police decide that their ladders...

...are not for public use afterall.

Arrest prevention.

Get used to sights like this. The oil has already peaked. No more cheap power.

The electric fence put up for the occasion seemed to be switched off. Another unbelievable waste of public money? Or will this just be added to our energy bills? The Police were pretty agro free choosing to push people back rather than hit them. So Kingsnorth was slightly invaded as people at the camp had promised. On the radio a Kingsnorth spokeman was saying that power could be cut to people in Kent if too many people got it. Have they not heard of the national grid, or was that just scarmongering spin?

The problem I found with a lot of the politics of Climate Camp was that it was very anti-worker - a lot of the ideology seemed to come from Hippies, lifestyle anarchists and liberals. Some of us came with sane ideas though...
