50,000 mass in Berlin against nuclear power

06-09-2009 06:36

Around 50,000 people demonstrated against nuclear power in Berlin on Saturday as a poll projected the pro-nuclear conservatives of Chancellor Angela Merkel convincingly winning an election on 27 September, although a majority of Germans want nuclear electricity production stopped.
A highlight of the powerful protest on a rainy day in the downtown area of the capital were more than 350 farm tractors rumbling through, some of which had been driven in convoy hundreds of kilometres around nuclear dump sites in northern Germany. At one location during the trek, the collapsing Morsleben underground nuclear dump, they were savagely attacked without cause by police using batons, tear gas, pepper spray and biting Alsatians. The police minister has apologised.

We are suffering desperately with the noise from the operation (60dbA+ at times and regularly at 55dbA) and - to varying degrees governed by the topography, weather conditions, and wind direction - from the dirt and dust output also."  http://www.stopffosyfran.co.uk/index.html

Hampers of Binned Food Delivered to Mandelson and Benn in Food Waste Protest

02-09-2009 16:16

Tom Williams explains the food on show was chucked by Tesco to the public
Today (2nd September) a group of activists and skippers held a protest against the wasting of food by supermarkets by delivering hampers of binned food to the DEFRA and the Dept. for Business, Innovation and Skills.

Assembling at 11:30am at Westminster Tesco, the group began by staging protests with skipped food, banners and leaflets outside the store. At 1:30pm they arrived at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to present a bountiful hamper of binned edible food and an open letter to a representative of Peter Mandelson, calling for a supermarket ombudsman to be established. They proceeded to DEFRA and delivered another hamper bursting with skipped food for Hilliary Benn, along with another open letter calling for various measures to curb supermarket food waste.
