Summer Solstice at Stonehenge + more

04-06-2004 08:15

Solstice @ Stonehenge 2004

The open access for the summer solstice has grown massively since 2000. In the first year there were a few thousand, last year there was something huge with up to 30,000 people!

This year the authorities have learned from their mistake last year when they only allowed access from midnight - the resulting rush as everybody arrived at the same time created traffic chaos. So this year the access times are back to a more sensible structure.

US Justice Dept Fails in Legal Action Attacking Greenpeace US

21-05-2004 08:08

Good News!

The outrageous attempt by the US authorities to attack the whole of Greenpeace USA after an anti Bush / Logging ship demo in april 2002 has failed.

There's also the case i think about the greenpeace activists who dressed as tigers boarded a ship in an oil / climate protest. when one of them was tackled to the ground the idiot doing the tackling broke his wrist - now all of the activists who took part in the action / PR stunt are now facing felony charges!!

The US administration is getting well out of line in terms of attacking protesters, even now going as far as the fluffy greenpeace ngo types, but hey, i guess that's hardly surprising news to you folks.

Anyway below is the press release and links for more info. Screw Bush!
