CLIMATE CAMP - happy days are here again!

16-08-2007 12:50

Putting the wind up a clown!
To read the news coming out of Climate Camp you'd think it was all doom and gloom. Police blockade roads, supplies have to be carried along the lane, police invade the site, police set up traps and police lead campers into the injunction zone.

There's a thread running here of course, and it's that the cops and their bosses are doing their very best to intimidate the camp and depress the mood.

Well I'm delighted to report they're failing miserably. Everything they throw at us brings us closer together.

Direct action may undermine public support for the protesters at Heathrow, but somehow the message about more flights needs to get through.

Police cause holiday havoc - and blame protesters

15-08-2007 21:09

Within minutes the road is blocked
"Local residents will stage a protest against airport expansion at Hatton Cross this afternoon" read the Climate Camp noticeboard. "Main Gate - 3.30"

Nobody can say who wrote it. Spokespersons for the two local protests organisations deny all knowledge and NoTRAG were even concerned that people might wear their stickers.

But it did result in 60 or 70 people leaving the camp to give support.

Police force climate camp march to Heathrow airport and block A4...

15-08-2007 19:49

Just a quick report to say that today a small march of around 80 people left from the climate camp to support a local demonstration against heathrow expansion. They were very quickly surrounded by over one hundred police - having just left the camp this happened in what could be called a side street - then quite inexplicably the police forced the group down several streets towards the airport. Still penned in on all side by police, they were then forced across the main A4 road (which police closed for some time before forcing the people across it) and then right up to the security fence of Heathrow where they were held for over one hour.
