The monkeys you see are destined for export to the USA next month, but it's not too late to stop them....Their lives are in our hands, so act and fight back by whatever means necessary before it's too late for these innocent creatures!!!

Arrest Order Issued for the Japanese Whaling Fleet

07-08-2008 22:43

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has drawn up an arrest warrant for the Japanese whaling fleet.

“We intend to intervene against the continued illegal whaling activities of the Japanese fleet in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary,” said Captain Paul Watson. “We intend to stop the killing of endangered species of whales in the Sanctuary, whales that are being killed in violation of the global moratorium on whaling. We intend to enforce the orders of the Australian Federal Court that has banned Japanese whalers from killing whales in the waters of the Australian Antarctic Territory. Our objective is to arrest the Nisshin Maru and its fleet of hunter killer boats.”

Police bullying at Camp Kingsnorth

07-08-2008 22:06

I’ve just returned from a 2-3 day sojourn at the Climate Camp at Kingsnorth — site of a proposed new coal-fired power station – which is now gearing up towards its climax. As usual the headlines focus upon policing and the inevitable ‘discovery’ of a weapons cache, more on which below. But once you make the effort – a word I use advisedly — to get through police lines and into the camp itself the overwhelming impression is of a D.I.Y. heaven: solar panels and a wind turbine being erected, water pipes connected, sanitation systems constructed, media and cinema tents put up, impromptu kitchens, cleaning zones … an al fresco and non-commercial soukh catering to the pleasures and necessities of daily life.

Rebel Regatta and Section 21 of the Medway Ports Byelaws

07-08-2008 15:45

Kentnews reports Medway Ports Authority has "empowered" the police to represent them in the "enforcement of Section 21 of the Medway Ports Byelaws".

I can understand the attempt to deter the rebel regatta action, but can't find any relevance of section 21:

Extracts from Medway Ports River Byelaws 1991

21. The Master of a power driven vessel underway shall either be on the
bridge or control position of the vessel himself or ensure that there is
on the bridge or control position a member of the crew who is capable
of taking command of the vessel and, when a pilot is on board, is
capable of understanding the pilot’s directions.

Maybe they are confused with section 21 of the Town Police Clauses Act, 1847 - which covers obstruction and road closures for processions.
