Homeless people from towns and cities all over Britain, Europe, America and the rest of the world are being invited to join in a mass mobilisation of eco-warriors to stop the Hastings to Bexhill link road destroying Combe Haven Valley near Crowhurst village, East Sussex, site of the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
Supporters of Combe Haven Defenders are being asked to help recruit homeless people from the streets to relocate immediately to Adams Farm and to bring tents, blankets, sleeping bags, food, clothing, and other essential supplies to help supply the New Model Army as it starts arriving.
A call-out is also being made to the Occupy movement not just in Britain but to the Indignados in Spain and to Occupy Wall Street in New York and to Anonymous, to also join what is promising to become the biggest road protest in history to help save the human race from being driven to extinction by the burning of fossil fuels.
Churches, charities, the unions, and the Women's Institute are all being asked to spread the word and to help recruit able bodied men and women to move into Combe Haven Valley and set up more protest camps to resist the road builders and to provide more characters for the reality TV show for the children entitled “Can You Save the Human Race?” which is all about the local grannies living in trees and fighting the road builders and the police.
Last but not least everyone involved with the protest against the Hastings to Bexhill link road is being asked to switch to the revolutionary giffgaff mobile phone network so that we can all keep in touch all the time by making free calls to each other.
Giffgaff offers the cheapest rates in Britain with 10p a minute pay as you go and cheap monthly unlimited internet bundles and free texts and free giffgaff to giffgaff calls.
If you order a free sim card from a member of the giffgaff community you will get five pounds free credit, but not if you order directly from the giffgaff website, so the way it works is to get a free sim card from the members with five pounds credit on it, and then start giving out free sim cards yourselves which are supplied to you by the company.
Please come and join us for the Second Battle of Hastings which is rapidly turning into something like the D-Day landings at Normandy during World War Two.
This is not just the biggest road protest in history it is also the beginning of the greatest and most extensive publicity campaign ever embarked on by the global environmental movement which is gearing up for worldwide direct action to combat global warming and to save the human race from being driven to extinction this century.
The eco-warriors are declaring a State of Emergency on the earth and your planet needs you.
Believe me you will receive a very warm welcome at Combe Haven in the middle of this cold bleak winter.
Best wishes,
Nick Martian.

And as for giffgaff, well, it is definately not 'revolutionary', its just part of o2. We do not need corporate advertising here or at any protest site.
Good luck to all who are actually resisting this road, and to all those who resist only via facebook, well, maybe protesting would be far more successful without you.

Thank you for your support

giffgaff is revolutionary in the sense that it is part of web 2.0 interactive participation with the internet, and hundreds of eco-warriors use it to communicate with each other and to help with what is very similar to a workers' cooperative, and not to support corporate interests.
Like everybody else we do need to use all the tools at our disposal.
We use facebook to help our resistance along with other social networking and we also publish on Indymedia all over the world.

EVICTION OF ANTI-ROAD CAMP NEAR HASTINGS HAS STARTED
Protestors resisting peacefully in treehouses and tunnels
Wednesday 16 January, 8.16am: Opponents of the Bexhill-Hastings Link Road (BHLR) are defending trees and occupying tunnels at their main protest camp in Crowhurst. Security guards and bailiffs, supported by police, began attempts to evict the camp at 8am today.
The main camp, which has been in place since 21 December, is located on the proposed route of the BHLR close to Adam’s Farm, Crowhurst [2].
Further trees on route are occupied by protestors at nearby “Decoy Camp”.
The peaceful protests against the road– which have now been running for a month, with 12 arrests – have seized national attention over the past week [3].
Tree-felling work for the road started on 14 December 2012 and represents the first significant work on the highly-controversial £100m road, one of over forty “zombie roads” that were declared dead years ago but have now been resuscitated as part of as part of Britain’s largest road-building programme in 25 years [4, 5].

Will give the author 50p per lead and something like £4 per sim activation.
Hence the big sell:
"Giffgaff offers the cheapest rates in Britain with 10p a minute pay as you go and cheap monthly unlimited internet bundles and free texts and free giffgaff to giffgaff calls. Blah blah blah......... 5+ lines i must sell this idea"
And, of course, if its the "biggest road protest in history" all using GiffGaff, then "nick_martian" will become "nick-i-can-stay-in-a-five-star-hotel-rather-than-a-horrible-tent-martian".
disclaimer is usually polite
Thank you, your cynicism is very refreshing

Three is probably more efficient but giffgaff is cheaper and offers the opportunity to become part of what is very similar to a workers' cooperative, which is an idea that many of us are keen to pursue as a way forward to try to work within the system and encourage working people to take over the businesses and industries that they work for.
Personally I am not using giffgaff and they have removed my post on their website which is the same as this post on Indymedia.
The reason I said get a sim card from members (of which I am indeed one) was because if you get a sim from their website you do not get the five pounds credit which is what happened to me and that is why I don't use giffgaff myself apart from receiving calls.
As far as getting any money from them, they do have a “payback” system but I don't even have a bank account and they are expecting me to give them more money if I want their service which I don't, because I can get two gigabytes of data on Three for five founds a month which is a lot cheaper than giffgaff's unlimited internet which I don't actually need.
However for activists on the front lines of the protests free calls to each other seems to make sense, and I have been trying to encourage giffgaff to honour their promise to be revolutionary and to support the protest at Combe Haven which I hope they will do, even if only because they decide it might give them credibility and be good for their business.
It is a bit too soon to say how far this will go but at the moment my posts have been deleted from their website which suggests that they are not too pleased with my contribution to the cause.
As far as the “biggest road protest in history” is concerned the government has resurrected the roads that were declared dead at the end of the 1990s, and they have 190 new roads planned which should make our protests now bigger than anything ever seen before.
I am sorry if my post was shorter than usual and did not go into more detail or explain precisely what I am working on, but life is short now that the human race faces extinction this century, and I have a lot of work to do before we all die as a result of global warming.
Anyone who is seriously interested in the support work that is being done behind the scenes for the environmental movement can send a friend request to me at Nick Martian on Facebook, or phone me on 07883242168 (Three) 07574092829 (Vectone) or 07543770635 (giffgaff).
