Crude Awakening - Coryton Refinery Oil Blockade

[6096203]

What a bunch of selfish twats. They are so self centered that they cannot see the future is going to be without power if they carry on like this. They wont be able to collect their unemployment benefit from the job center when the lights are all out! Tossers

[BibleWinScienceFail]

i recommend lifeaftertheoilcrash for a good site about how peak oil will catch the whole world out. we are near the end my friends. peace.

[94mevans]

complaining about the emmisions yet they take trains to get here.  what, were they run on fucking fairy dust or something

[ohmenaja]

how much oil did they burn to get there, and how many extra oil trucks were sent out the next few days to recover from the forced day off!! lmao

[RoboWally]

WE NEED MORE OF THIS KIND OF STUFF IN VANCOUVER!

[Edgebotv4]

the rough slope down from peak oil will constrict global supplies soon enough , the economic, social and political fallout will be unpredictable & wide spread and the youth out protesting in this video with have front row seats in England.

[t0l3d0]

British cops are so funny, you just can't take them seriously xD

Good job folks who organized this

[glitchnoise]

i know this is besides the point, but does anyone know the name of the song in the film?

[kk0bbe]

what the fuck is this shit? dressing up and playing with stilts.. so what they blocked the one refinery for one day.. they'll just send twice the amount of trucks the next. if you want change, bomb the fucking refinery and hold the bp ceo hostage.

[evenesteven]

Almost as useful as orgonite gifting. 

[GulameFatimah]

amazing!

[TheHolySpirit]

Remind every single Police Officer who tries to stand in your way that they took an Oath to protect YOU, not Corporate Interests.

[alasdeverdad]

We don't want to sleep anymore 'when our beds are burning' then! EXCELLENT!! Well done!

[BOYCOTTTHEBEASTTV]

Wow.. this is great..awesome!! Thank you!

[AlexFate101]

sharing...

[ALLMYHEROSWEARMASKS]

My heart is overflowing with admiration for these people! Way to go UK activists, you are making a difference <3

[JeanJaures85]

you guys and girls are just incredible. funny to see that the cops at yours have to stand in single file and look silly, exactly like over here. Greetings from berlin.

[MultiMelissa5]

I was there,but I realise that we have to block it for days not just a day,I will be there,if we decide to

[calvinjones]

Pls don't feed the trolls.

[nd017]

@calvinjones Cant I just a little bit...?

[1mealperday]

the thing is , a few folks actuall y got together on something, showed up, took a stand and were creative about it. Something us americans might take up as well. Its time, too late almost. After the elections we will meet austerity in the USA

[morganic88]

Looks like a fun day,

But are the humans really werth saving? Lol,

Maybee Gaia would bee better off without them... The Orion Project dot org

[WeAreTheBritish]

the real story of crudeawake was how a veteran of the first Gulf War,someone who suffers from PTSD was abused on twitter by someone who is old enough to knwo better

following the attack on his blog the veteran went on to receive threats and abuse from crude awake protestors via email

the climate movement in the UK sent itself to jail when it smashed its first window in Edinburgh - when it abused a war veteran it threw away the key

[youandifilms]

@WeAreTheBritish Would love to read the emails.....I understand he has a site, why are these accusations not published there??? and to ask a female to get her tits out and suggest she was doing porn IS offensive!!!!!

[WeAreTheBritish]

@youandifilms thanks for responding - I have no issue with the lady concerned, only the use of violence at climatecamp, which is where it all went wrong

this can and should be made right - an apology is in order, even if it is done privately and never made public

the language used towards the lady was offensive and wrong on every level - I condemn that also

perhaps you can facilitate between the aggrieved parties and pave the way for our support in future - we too care about our planet

[loveisall1000]

@WeAreTheBritish who are you working for?my friend.

do you think we are all still sleep?

[TheTradingOutpost]

@WeAreTheBritish I don't get it? It sounds like you're talking about something that's completely irrelevant.

[WeAreTheBritish]

Coryton has capacity to produce 10 million tonnes per year - the unimaginative student protest didn't even dent that figure - distribution of refined oil products is carried out via rail and pipeline

[nd017]

@WeAreTheBritish Perhaps you could get involved in the next action...?

[nd017]

@WeAreTheBritish Perhaps you could get involved in the next action...? Do you remember the fuel protests - three refineries blockaded simultaneously for a few days and the government had to listen.

[WeAreTheBritish]

@nd017 the world has known that oil will run out long before these student protestors were born - major energy companies are investing billions in developing new and sustainable energy sources and have been doing so for years

immature students are not my thing - sorry

[curlybell]

@WeAreTheBritish I am confused, what is your problem with students exactly, the educating bit, the bettering themselves bit or the growing into an individual?

I think you'll actually find very few students are 'active' so why do you presume everyone in this film is a student, I am not a student, infact very few people I met were, sticking us all in boxes isn't such a good idea you know, our confined dirty hippy smell makes us very angry.

[CatCrazyLover]

It's so depressing that Shell Haven is no more. 21st century crude reality.

[DirtyMidgetStudios]

Oh yes, lets stop the production of oil. Despite that oil produces 80% of everyday items. Stay classy.

[WeAreTheBritish]

well done for NOT stopping oil production? ... ho ho ho ....heard it all now

[nd017]

@WeAreTheBritish If it didn't have an effect people like you wouldn't be riled enough to comment. The more these actions occur, the more they cost and raise awareness of the true cost of not investing in alternative ways of living, the more they keep these issues fresh in the mind, the more chance we all have of living long enough to meet our grandchildren.

Well done Crude awakening!

[joegibbsrules]

well done crude awakening

[WeAreTheBritish]

oil refining continued for the entire duration of this little outburst of hormonal student angst

deliveries from the refinery have been restored and will continue uninterrupted

[nd017]

@WeAreTheBritish Oh, dosen't matter then, don't know why you even bothered bending your finger to the keyboard.....

Well done climate campaigners!
