free solar panels

The government supply free solar panels suitable for charging batteries to activists. They leave them at the side of motorways for easy pick-up for anyone with insulated cutters and an adjustable wrench.
As for Prestwick peace camp, it was a spur of the moment idea for a local action and we were bribed and lied away after 10 hours. We could go back tonight though
Nationally we do need a joint and worthy list of demands that can attract as much popular support as possible. I suggest 'no transport though UK territory or airspace of any product destined for any war-zone ever'. That sounds like the first step in an ethical foriegn policy to me. Locally, I don't think Prestwick or any civilian airport should be used for military flights of any nature. One of the regulars here who was in the c130 said to me yesterday something about Glasgow Airport not being a target as it didn't have military flights - but Glasgow airport has a lot of military traffic, most airports do, Prestwick is simply the most militarised 'civilian' airport in the UK, which makes its lack of security even more incredulous. Glasgow is easily 'do-able' too, but it is harder than Prestwick, which I drove around and through it several times last night and never got tailed. Their newly enhanced security consists of two pairs of coppers -wearing flurescent material - walking around the huge perimiter.
There are other ways to close down airports that are maybe less moral but perhaps more effective. For example if you attract enough seagulls, say with dumps of rotten fish around the perimeter, then planes can't safetly fly.
