Since the first of Juli we (an action group from the Dutch Earth First!) have occupied a forest in Wilrijk. So far there’s been no great risk of eviction but this is about to change. We expect the chance of eviction will be the greatest from September 12th till September 20th.2014 Northern Vegan Festival

Day 5 of Balcombe village's struggle against Frack Attack (Update)
Update - Day 5 - Monday 29th July - for continual updates head to http://frack-off.org.uk/
After a relatively quiet day on Sunday, today Monday, saw many vehicles arriving on site. Each delivery was met with heavy resistance. A heavily pregnant woman attempted to stop one of the trucks but was forced away as things got dodgy and dangerous. At the same time a man was arrested and brutally wrestled to the ground with a suspected broken arm.
For the rest of the afternoon more deliveries regularly turned up but only got through with police marching in front of each HGV and clashing with protesters attempting to stop them. A later delivery of office furniture saw a sit-down protest that resulted in a more significant delay and yet another arrest.
Perhaps as a sign of the struggle ahead the police have installed a mobile office on site and a casual conversation with one cop made it obvious that the police think they are there for the long haul. Some protesters thought it might pay to also set up a solicitor's office and branch of Infinity Foods alongside.

Iceclimb: when the Arctic is threatened, so is our civilisation
14-07-2013 18:55
When people do awesome things to highlight vast global problems, sometimes it’s easier to talk about what they did than why they did it. So it is with the six Greenpeace climbers who scaled the Shard this week. It is impossible not to be overawed by their skill. It is incomprehensible how they could complete such a feat.
