Climate Campers visit the Daily Mail

Under this weeks Climate Camp the Daily Mail has visited us several times. Now its time for us to repay the courtesy and pay them a return visit and like them we feel familiar enough not to need to announce our visit in advance. Were just going to pop in.
The reason for this exchange of pleasantries is the simple fact that the Mails coverage of Climate Camp missed a few important points. Such as the fact that the climate campers are about as divers a group of people as you could possibly hope to meet. In fact the only trait common to us all is the knowledge that we really need to take effective action to combat climate change and do it quick. Oh and that we should treat each other with respect and empathy.
It seems that even the mail is starting to realise that global warming is something that we all should be extremely concerned about and that's a very good thing What concerns us is that fact that the mail continuously portrays climate activists as young middle class with a thinly disguised silver spoon protruding from the corner of their mouths. This is as far from the truth as even the Daily Mail can get. Something that will be obvious to them when they meet our delegation at there offices today.
We would like to make it quite clear that we are not accusing the Daily Mail is a hate rag promoting racism, class tensions and social prejudice. This is not in line with climate camps message. Watch this space to find out how he Mail reacted.
