Those 'police' were too heavy handed. How can anyone have any respect for these 'police' when they are acting like bullies.
No wonder ordinary, law abiding folk have less and less respect for the 'police'.
I call them scum, sure, there will most likely be the odd decent one here but the majority are arse holes with bad attitudes and no respect for the law.
This is a corporate state, if you don't see that you're blind.
Well its true. Government departments research all this shit with the best ppl for the job. Then a few smack heads think they know all the answers. Arm chair government advisors with little appreciation for the full aspect ramifications
Next time one of these camps sets up anywhere near you, DON'T leave it to the Police. Go along and break it up yourselves. Just drive your 4X4 through it, blaring your horns 24/7. Then bombard social services with complaints that the kids there are being abused and drawn into cult sexual practices by the camp 'elders'.
That should send them snivelling back home to their overpaid alternative media jobs!
That is terrible! To believe that's what the USA wants to do here too. Thank you everyone around the world who stand up for their rights in every country.
@SlothCatcher I hope your saying the same thing in a few years when you go to protest about how the government has took away ALL your fucking rights, oh wait, you wont have any, so you couldnt protest anyway, sorry, my mistake..
THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO PROTEST, your the same people that complain there isnt enough officers on the streets, thats because they can only arrest innocent people at these events because there they cant catch the actuall criminals, makes them look good for the home office
I love watching these drama queens gettin arested. These sgag takeing protesters just like making a scene. If they hadnt of turned up in the ambulances and hippy busses then the police wouldnt of had anything to police. Imagine how much carbon foot print these low lifes made as a result of there little day out not to mention the cost to the tax payer. 1 word SCUM
All fairness to you though, you have your right to your own opinioun, however people can turn up in whatever they bloody well wish, and they can protest about what the bloody well like. You mention carbon foot print, no such thing anyway, and they might of been protesting about that, but its their right to protest.
The police ACTED UNLAWFULLY and these people were doing fuck all wrong from the start.
Well when I turned up to protest against the protestors I can tell you they where not acting in a respectable way to the police or my self. One of your lot a right propper skank she was decided she was a legal advisor cos she wrote it in biro on a high vis vest. See what I mean if these ppl where respecatable and of any credit or worth to sociaty then they would be in posistions of power helping to advise alternatives or helping with promote soulotions.
its no wonder they have made it an offense to photograph police actions. So this is what would happen if I refused to be humiliated and searched. What kind of scum would do a job like that anyway? It makes me angry just watching this.
why would you put power behind something you dont agree with or think is right are you suggesting the police dont possess conscience or free will or are you just a moron?
No the actions that these people took were illegal, ie breaking into a major power station and trying to shut it down! They could have electrocuted themselves by breaking into that power station!
Also those protesters know nothing at all about climate change! If they watched the excellent programme "The Great Global Warming Swindle" then they would know that it has nothing to do with burning fossil fuels and is caused by solar activity such as sun spots and cosmic rays.
To say Carbon Dioxide does not effect climate really does show your ignorance .When the totally covered in ice "Snowball Earth" the only reason the ice melted was due to Volcanoes pumping co2 into the atmosphere to warm it to melt the ice - FACT .The Earth went from -50*C to +50*C average in the matter of 500 years until Co2 levels dropped as vegetation grew and absorded the excess and temperatures stabilized .I too watched that program ,the Oil and Gas companies loved it .
This is perfectly legal, so for those of you thinking that the police are being unlawful then you're wrong, under section 60 of the Criminal Justice Public Order Act 1994 officers can stop and search without reasonable grounds for suspicion aslong as it has been authorised by a seniour officer who reasonable believes that serious violence is going to take place in the locality of the are, the officers will use reasonable force if someone resist the search.
section 60 didn't even apply then, they were using PACE, a completely different law. I was there, and the only serious violence i saw was from the police.
Sunspot activity and Solar radiation as well as Volcanoes can effect climate change in a NATURAL way that is temporary . Man through his actions is changing the climate permanently .0.6*C might not seem a lot but it can make a hell of a differance in weather patterns that people rely on to grow crops .America has already got Carbon scrubber technology but wont use it .Norway pumps C02 back in to the rocks as do Japan .The USA and China need to do more .
Obviously you dont have a clue ,go back to your reality TV and leave the important issues to people who will take action and just just not sit on their ass and accept what is happening.
NO, it's you whom doesn't have a clue, your that knumb with mind control you haven't even realised we just had the coldest month on record, the only global warming Co2 emissions that are damaging the planet are the ones rising from your hot head, get a grip on yourself m8. Climate Change is about bringing in more nuclear power stations whilst you try and shut down the new breed of coal ones, the bigger picture is introducing a global carbon tax system, period.
Fact The Sun is 25% hotter than 200 Million years ago yet our climate has remained realatively stable because nature has locked up huge amounts of carbon in the rocks ,Coal ,Limestone ,Oil to prevent excess warming .We are putting this C02 back in to the atmosphere and plants/plankton cannot convert it quickly enough back in to oxygen so increases WORLD TEMPERATURES .Because of your ignorance of science and bad English I would not expect you the great uneducated to respond any other way .
I wish protesters would do something useful instead causing trouble. How about getting a hobby or getting into religon. Protesting is for losers. I am also angry that you protesters cost the tax payers millions for the cost of policing your stupid week of action.
Its called Democracy .Its good to see people banding together for a cause worth fighting for .The rest of the country act like a flock of sheep accepting the inevitability of change and just moan and do nothing .
There is no Democracy, there never was. See you in their Prison Cities (yes there building not 1 Titan but 3 of them now), you future is ignorance, to reside in their Technocratic, Totalitarian Police State.
@mortonhill i may not agree with what they are protesting about but i will always defend their right to protest. people like you have to realise that if people do not protest then the government and police will just do what they want. they are already abusing their powers and people must stand up and be counted or it will be to late to protest when we are in a dictatorship.
The policing was appauling...the police came under pressure from mp`s/mep's and the press. Unfortunately that distracts from the message: now more coal!
These so called climate protesters are scum! They want to force all of us to go back to the stoneage and abandom things like cars, electricity, airports etc. They are total crackpots, but because there is free speach they were allowed to hold their insane protest against the modern world.
beneathepavment is just arguing for the sake of arguing in a mannor that can only be compared to a typical hippy.They make me laugh they bang on about having there say but when someone disagrees with them they turn viscios and in MOST cases violent. These hippies must realise that there opinion is that of the minority yet the money having to be spent on policing and preventing a powerstaion bein attacked by these thugs is public money. The average person doesnt care so why should it cost them???
I thought I was pretty straightforward, quoting the law, pointing out fallacious arguments, offering counter-examples and analogies. It's called 'debate' and it's highly prized in circles where people want to sift out the truth from the monumental pile of false or misinformed crap pumped out by especially the mainstream media.
Thank you i foxyohyea. My theory is we all seem to think we can do a job better than the government, u know we all say why do this why do that. But do u not think there is reason behind there decisions and that they havent already though of fesable alternatives? You wouldnt tell a car mechanic how to fix your car so why do we all think we now better thanb the government??
Indeed but some people are so tunnel visioned. They know that ultimately they will not stop the coal fueled power station so why not just have a pop at the police when things dont go their way? I think they should start with the giant pulloters America and China first as without them changing their ways it is a hopeless cause anyway!
The argument that 'people at these events are just up for a fight' is just an assertion. Nothing more. The same one used by the Police there. It's not true, it's just used to justify the levels of intimidation, dissuasion from attending, and violence on the part of the Police. Repeating it doesn't prove anything, it just adds to the general currency of an untruth, used by Police to try to provoke violence to justify their employment and overtime.
The police invaded a legally squatted field and hit people in the face with their shields when they had their hands in the air. All on tape. No crimes had taken place. My friend arrested for 'possession of vitamin C tablets'. They're trying to make people afraid to dissent, and that in itself is scary.
hope a nice burly policeman insists on strip-searching your 17 year old daughter in her summerdress just for being in an area the size of a small county. There were no weapons in the camp, there were never going to be. This is straightforward political policing based on a myth of 'violent protesters', to supress their opinions.
have trust, Deangate is not the size of a small county, and the whole of Hoo is tiny compared to the county its in.
i was there last week and yes their were weapons because some of the protestors were more than happy to show them off.
and violent preotestors are no myth, they got pretty aggressive when the police wouldnt let them break into the power plant to cause untold amounts of damage.
The stop and search was extended to the whole penninsula on Thursday, but you knew that, right? I was there too, and there were no weapons. Who are these mythical armed protesters you met then. Did you meet thwem in a professional capacity? And they didn't get 'aggressive', even the mainstream media shows Police truncheoning them and kicking them on the floor while they offer no resistence. Maybe it's hearing "Protesters clashed with Police" that makes you ignore evdence of your eyes?
ok, police were stationed at all routes but i travel that the main roads every day and havent seen or heard of anyone searched apart from those accessing the camp. maybe they search on intelligence. i dont know the loser carrying the duster or the dickhead with a screwdriver.
if one weapon goes in, then everyone is a potential threat. i dont care who clashed with who, they still breached a power station.
the evidence of my eyes is what i base my opinions on, noone elses.
Local man on BBC south east I think, tells of being searched three times in one trip from home and back home. "The DIRECT ACTION was really pathetic today. Seems the '4 pronged attack' didn't do much good ha", OR they did breach the power station, and one is charged with interrupting the production of power? Make your minds up...They certainly don't search on intelligence, unless my son was likely to be armed? It was blanket stop and search, section 60. You know it and I do. Intimidation.
i reiterate if one man brings a wepaon, there are potentially more? therefore a blanket search is necessary. i was quite happy to be searched, it took 1 minute. i had nothing to hide and if noone else does then whats the problem.
its not intimidating, their just coppers so they shouldnt be scary unless you think theyre out to get you.
have your quick search, get yourself in and peacefully protest, job done no hassle.
im on the fence on this one, but i think the police are doing a good job.
on the fence? what happened to 'this twat' 'sweaty little scummers' and 'hating fucking hippies'? glad you've mellowed through thought. Your logic about searching means that because one person in the country has a weapon, everyone can be strip searched by riot cops if they leave their home? The sus laws sparked the riots of the 80s: targetting of young blacks for searches. Now it's 'hippies' or those against coal and nuclear and pro-renewables. All the police were armed by the way:a real threat!
dont get me wrong, i still disagree with the scummers, but they still have their rights.
strip searching people as they leave their house would just be silly now wouldnt it. strip searching people who are entering an area where there is the possibility of violence is quite justified in my eyes.
the alternative is just letting the protestors crack on. that wouldnt lead anywhere better than the situation is already would it? police are armed in case their is a threat against them or others.
There is a possibility of violence everywhere. Your logic still falls. The violence in this case came from the police. Documented. Letting protesters crack on (or listening to the advice of the experts so they don't need to protest) would indeed improve the general situation re climate change. Why did you go if you hate hippies? If you really did, you know the wait and search took over an hour. You didn't go, or you're a policeman. Which?
well unlucky you for waiting two hours, like i said i was through the checkpoint in two minutes. your missing the point of not searching everyone, theres obviously more possibility of violence at events like this, or a rivals football match for example. which experts do we listen to? pro or anti environmentalists? plenty of both. although i dislike them, im also quite curious, enough to go down and check it all out.
and i resent you implying that im a liar. im neither copper and i was there:)
thanks for the polite responses. i disagree about violence at 'events like this'. and the comparison with football hooligans (although legislation aimed at them has been extended to protesters, true). It's all slurs. Re experts, the argument is settled, only media bias gives the 'sceptics' fake legitimacy. Look into it. I have a PhD in climate change policy. It's only drives for profit, and lack of a 'feed in tariff' for renewables, that drive everything the wrong direction.
The argument that 'people at these events are just up for a fight' is just an assertion. Nothing more. The same one used by the Police there. It's not true, it's just used to justify the levels of intimidation, dissuasion from attending, and violence on the part of the Police. Repeating it doesn't prove anything, it just adds to the general currency of an untruth, used by Police to try to provoke violence to justify their employment and overtime.
But the statement from the organisers said they intended to shut the power station. Such a statement undermined the whole protest and gave the police ample justification to use a wide range of powers. You shot yourselves in the foot by declaring such a thing.
It's also worth bearing in mind that the police will have a database of (a minority who attended no doubt) 'extremists' in the same way they will for the minority of football hooligans who spoil it for everyone else at football matches.
not a database of a minority, everyone who goes to a protests these days is photographed by FIT, and if possible, has their name and address taken. Just for turning up, not what they DO. And I hate the phrase 'extremists': were anti-fascists in Nazi Germany extremists? They were 'on the fringe'? I never noticed an extremist ruin a protest for me, just repressive policing.
morons you commenters. hope you get the secret police to your door in the middle of the night. sleepwalking into fascism like the brainwashed sheep dolts you are...
do these idiots even listen to themselves? "im refusing to be searched!". this twat should have just let them search her and she can carry on her "peaceful" fucking protest. you want to protest, fair enough. but use your brains. if none of them carried weapons in then there wouldnt be any need for this search. sort your lives out you hippy hemp wearing divs. coal is going to be used because its a reliable energy source, its either that or nuclear you sweaty little scummers. i fuckin hate hippies
Thats quality that give her a kick from me lol good policeing that profesional to the end. Having to deal with this "Drugged up hippies cant be easy not knowing what deseases scum like this carry is a scary thought
The bill for the policing of this protest is about £8m. How many wind turbine farms could have been built for that? If these activists agreed to protest without breaking the law maybe the govt could have put that money towards renewable energy schemes.
"How many wind turbine farms could have been built for that?"
None, because the government have no intention to switch to renewable energy, as it would collapse the fossil fuels empire. The repressive political policing and excessive waste of tax payers money should indicate this to anyone.
"maybe the govt could have put that money towards renewable energy schemes"
That's exactly why people protest, because otherwise you rely on hope; which is more like a pipe-dreams.
If no one dissobeyed anything the police said, ever.... Would they go away ?
No, they wud comei into your living room, to FIND somthing ot punish you for. They HAVE to punish you, to keep you scared. A population without fear, is a dangerous population.
Therefore, bullying, lying, attacking the public will carry on forever ! It IS the law, that we HAVE to be beaten into submission, then KEPT in a perpetual state of fear.
Ha. Sounds like the view of a 15 year old who has read 1984 and found Micheal Moore for the first time.
Perpetual state of fear? Zzzzzz what bullshit. Anyone who isn't a retard knows this isn't the case. Obviously a Government wanting to keep people in fear would have allowed the Human Rights Act to cover us 10 years ago.
The DIRECT ACTION was really pathetic today. Seems the '4 pronged attack' didn't do much good ha.
That's so sweet, you signed up especially to say that - you felt like by voicing your opinion it would really make that extra difference. Nobodys listening though...
Or perhaps I couldn't remember my old account since I got a new computer. Not that I expect someone who can't use apostrophes to consider anything else.
Two friends of mine received early morning knocks on the door when they returned home from climate camp, from CID, not investigating any crimes, just letting them know that they know their address and the nature and place of their occupation/work. They hadn't been arrested or given name or addresses. Your explanation please?
These people should watch the excellent documentary called The Great Global Warming Swindle also on youtube which debunks the theory that global warming is caused by human produced CO2 emissions.
Imagine a world in which police spent more time investigating rapes than attacking environmentalists. (read: dissidents) But that world will never exist because cops have the same abusive mentality of entitlement and an urge to control that rapists have.
Legitimate rapes have a very high detection rate. Only a certain number of officers are required to investigate a rape. In contrast a huge number are required when morons are threatening to break the law and shut a power station down.
Legitimate = an actual offence where consent had not been given. This as oppose to a prostitute not being paid or someone who gets a bit drunk and regrets it later, both withdrawing consent after the event.
The CPS are responsible for prosecuting, so a decision not to lies with them.
What do you expect the police to do when people directly state they will close a power station down on X date?
This event wouldn't impact upon and police forces as the finances are nearly all from the state.
Want will the cops tell their kids when they ask 'what did you do to save the world?'...'well..nothing, but I did try and stop the people trying to save the world'.
Cops - is this really want you jioned the force for?
I just dont get I really really don't. I thought your fight was against coal fueled power stations in a bid to minimise climate change? All I can see is a big fight against the police so the real cause has gone by the wayside I guess?
I imagine a lot of you are career protesters and therefore you should be fully aware that demos are policed to prevent thing going pete tong. What to you expect. They get paid to do a job and do it. I'm sure most of them are sympathetic to your cause.
These rapist MF cops are actually video taping them attacking one female to their 7. And hiding the fact that they were mauling her with that elastic top to her shirt so they had one cop stand in the way of filming as they filmed it for their own sick selves. UPRISE!!
hahah you tit, arresting someone with 7 poeple is so much safer than 1, i hope your mum needs the police and they dont turn up, they are filming it for intel, evidence and for the publics protection
Really? Really? This is an unbelievable slur on the police who do a good job protecting peopleevery day and protecting them from violent outbusts from the small % mindless protesters who were out for a fight and to cause mass mayhem for the innocent person. I would love to see that the little solar powered shacks the protesters live in but as I saw them in Tesco NOT re-using carriers but taking a nice new stash I expect this is not the case. PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREECH GUYS!
Well maybe you should be stripped search by 7 cops pulling your pants down. You want your rights violated? Thats just stupid. But I see how backwards in your thinking process is to put down solar energy. Progressive people should have our own planet and let people like you live in a over zealous police state with your polluted soot filled air and water, while you all die of heart attacks consuming dead animals.
There was going to be a simple stop and search which would have taken a few minutes, which is what you expect when a group state they are going to close down a power station and weapons are found near to and on the site.
I would be happy to be searched as I have nothing to hide. It would only take one person to search me as i would not have a full on flid out and start flinging myself around like a crazy beached whale!
Also I am very energy conscious and i am a vegetarian I just dont agree with your extreamist un peaceful demonstrations. A lot of the public have lost respect for your cause.
their power has always and continues to require our participation! do you really want freedom? do you really want a healthy planet and a healthy you?? if the answer is yes, then stop buying stuff. period. refuse to participate and their power will cease. you cannot have it both ways, sorry to be the one to tell you. read endgame by derrick jensen.
It's like this everywhere. A few months ago here in the U.S. cops did a rape/strip search of a female who was a VICTIM of assault ... if you haven't seen it, it will make your blood boil! Do youtube search: Cops rape woman caught on tape
A long time ago I actually felt protected by our police, now I don't trust anyone ... especially police. Same old shit, different day ... POWER CORRUPTS!!!
fuck these motherfuckers i would kill every single one of the cops! why are they in riot gear when they are such peaceful people. we cannot trust our governments...the time is NOW! REVOLT PEOPLE. we need to start acting humane like humans should. fuck the NWO i will kill anyone who touches me.
whenever people go out to protest in a peaceful or violent manner. police will be there to incite violence, always. because the powers that be want the press to channel the shit to tv and announce by reading the telepropmter: "good evening, police arrested x number of protesters for...blah blah blah".
That's some truly disturbing footage. This entire situation is because the government is in the pockets of corporations, and does not care about our future.
The merger of state and corporate power used to suppress dissent like this has only one name: fascism.
This video is proof positive that fascism is alive and well in the Britain of 2008.
JCLeSinge. True when we allow anger over reason it does retard the thinking process. The best sign of strength is never showing ones anger. The deepest of waters are aways still. A wiseone said to show the world your an angry man is to entertain those who would torment in makeing you the fool. A small smile of empending tomorrow has those who fear us now worried that this NWO will destroy itself from within.
Working for anyone other then your self is SUPPORTING the system. I hate to say this but they are really just wasting their time. There are much better ways to make this world better, it all ends and begins with your self.

NO, it's you whom doesn't have a clue, your that knumb with mind control you haven't even realised we just had the coldest month on record, the only global warming Co2 emissions that are damaging the planet are the ones rising from your hot head, get a grip on yourself m8. Climate Change is about bringing in more nuclear power stations whilst you try and shut down the new breed of coal ones, the bigger picture is introducing a global carbon tax system, period.

Fact The Sun is 25% hotter than 200 Million years ago yet our climate has remained realatively stable because nature has locked up huge amounts of carbon in the rocks ,Coal ,Limestone ,Oil to prevent excess warming .We are putting this C02 back in to the atmosphere and plants/plankton cannot convert it quickly enough back in to oxygen so increases WORLD TEMPERATURES .Because of your ignorance of science and bad English I would not expect you the great uneducated to respond any other way .

@mortonhill i may not agree with what they are protesting about but i will always defend their right to protest. people like you have to realise that if people do not protest then the government and police will just do what they want. they are already abusing their powers and people must stand up and be counted or it will be to late to protest when we are in a dictatorship.

beneathepavment is just arguing for the sake of arguing in a mannor that can only be compared to a typical hippy.They make me laugh they bang on about having there say but when someone disagrees with them they turn viscios and in MOST cases violent. These hippies must realise that there opinion is that of the minority yet the money having to be spent on policing and preventing a powerstaion bein attacked by these thugs is public money. The average person doesnt care so why should it cost them???

Indeed but some people are so tunnel visioned. They know that ultimately they will not stop the coal fueled power station so why not just have a pop at the police when things dont go their way? I think they should start with the giant pulloters America and China first as without them changing their ways it is a hopeless cause anyway!

The argument that 'people at these events are just up for a fight' is just an assertion. Nothing more. The same one used by the Police there. It's not true, it's just used to justify the levels of intimidation, dissuasion from attending, and violence on the part of the Police. Repeating it doesn't prove anything, it just adds to the general currency of an untruth, used by Police to try to provoke violence to justify their employment and overtime.
beneaththepavement 3 years ago
The police invaded a legally squatted field and hit people in the face with their shields when they had their hands in the air. All on tape. No crimes had taken place. My friend arrested for 'possession of vitamin C tablets'. They're trying to make people afraid to dissent, and that in itself is scary.
beneaththepavement 3 years ago
hope a nice burly policeman insists on strip-searching your 17 year old daughter in her summerdress just for being in an area the size of a small county. There were no weapons in the camp, there were never going to be. This is straightforward political policing based on a myth of 'violent protesters', to supress their opinions.
beneaththepavement 3 years ago
have trust, Deangate is not the size of a small county, and the whole of Hoo is tiny compared to the county its in.
i was there last week and yes their were weapons because some of the protestors were more than happy to show them off.
and violent preotestors are no myth, they got pretty aggressive when the police wouldnt let them break into the power plant to cause untold amounts of damage.
bigfatsmellybumface 3 years ago
The stop and search was extended to the whole penninsula on Thursday, but you knew that, right? I was there too, and there were no weapons. Who are these mythical armed protesters you met then. Did you meet thwem in a professional capacity? And they didn't get 'aggressive', even the mainstream media shows Police truncheoning them and kicking them on the floor while they offer no resistence. Maybe it's hearing "Protesters clashed with Police" that makes you ignore evdence of your eyes?
beneaththepavement 3 years ago
ok, police were stationed at all routes but i travel that the main roads every day and havent seen or heard of anyone searched apart from those accessing the camp. maybe they search on intelligence. i dont know the loser carrying the duster or the dickhead with a screwdriver.
if one weapon goes in, then everyone is a potential threat. i dont care who clashed with who, they still breached a power station.
the evidence of my eyes is what i base my opinions on, noone elses.
bigfatsmellybumface 3 years ago
Local man on BBC south east I think, tells of being searched three times in one trip from home and back home. "The DIRECT ACTION was really pathetic today. Seems the '4 pronged attack' didn't do much good ha", OR they did breach the power station, and one is charged with interrupting the production of power? Make your minds up...They certainly don't search on intelligence, unless my son was likely to be armed? It was blanket stop and search, section 60. You know it and I do. Intimidation.
beneaththepavement 3 years ago
i reiterate if one man brings a wepaon, there are potentially more? therefore a blanket search is necessary. i was quite happy to be searched, it took 1 minute. i had nothing to hide and if noone else does then whats the problem.
its not intimidating, their just coppers so they shouldnt be scary unless you think theyre out to get you.
have your quick search, get yourself in and peacefully protest, job done no hassle.
im on the fence on this one, but i think the police are doing a good job.
bigfatsmellybumface 3 years ago
on the fence? what happened to 'this twat' 'sweaty little scummers' and 'hating fucking hippies'? glad you've mellowed through thought. Your logic about searching means that because one person in the country has a weapon, everyone can be strip searched by riot cops if they leave their home? The sus laws sparked the riots of the 80s: targetting of young blacks for searches. Now it's 'hippies' or those against coal and nuclear and pro-renewables. All the police were armed by the way:a real threat!
beneaththepavement 3 years ago
and why did you go there if you hate hippies and love the police? face it you're a cop...
beneaththepavement 3 years ago
dont get me wrong, i still disagree with the scummers, but they still have their rights.
strip searching people as they leave their house would just be silly now wouldnt it. strip searching people who are entering an area where there is the possibility of violence is quite justified in my eyes.
the alternative is just letting the protestors crack on. that wouldnt lead anywhere better than the situation is already would it? police are armed in case their is a threat against them or others.
bigfatsmellybumface 3 years ago
There is a possibility of violence everywhere. Your logic still falls. The violence in this case came from the police. Documented. Letting protesters crack on (or listening to the advice of the experts so they don't need to protest) would indeed improve the general situation re climate change. Why did you go if you hate hippies? If you really did, you know the wait and search took over an hour. You didn't go, or you're a policeman. Which?
beneaththepavement 3 years ago
well unlucky you for waiting two hours, like i said i was through the checkpoint in two minutes. your missing the point of not searching everyone, theres obviously more possibility of violence at events like this, or a rivals football match for example. which experts do we listen to? pro or anti environmentalists? plenty of both. although i dislike them, im also quite curious, enough to go down and check it all out.
and i resent you implying that im a liar. im neither copper and i was there:)
bigfatsmellybumface 3 years ago
thanks for the polite responses. i disagree about violence at 'events like this'. and the comparison with football hooligans (although legislation aimed at them has been extended to protesters, true). It's all slurs. Re experts, the argument is settled, only media bias gives the 'sceptics' fake legitimacy. Look into it. I have a PhD in climate change policy. It's only drives for profit, and lack of a 'feed in tariff' for renewables, that drive everything the wrong direction.

beneaththepavement 3 years ago
But the statement from the organisers said they intended to shut the power station. Such a statement undermined the whole protest and gave the police ample justification to use a wide range of powers. You shot yourselves in the foot by declaring such a thing.
It's also worth bearing in mind that the police will have a database of (a minority who attended no doubt) 'extremists' in the same way they will for the minority of football hooligans who spoil it for everyone else at football matches.
MrSmithThe1234 3 years ago
not a database of a minority, everyone who goes to a protests these days is photographed by FIT, and if possible, has their name and address taken. Just for turning up, not what they DO. And I hate the phrase 'extremists': were anti-fascists in Nazi Germany extremists? They were 'on the fringe'? I never noticed an extremist ruin a protest for me, just repressive policing.

The bill for the policing of this protest is about £8m. How many wind turbine farms could have been built for that? If these activists agreed to protest without breaking the law maybe the govt could have put that money towards renewable energy schemes.
VicMackey999 3 years ago
"How many wind turbine farms could have been built for that?"
None, because the government have no intention to switch to renewable energy, as it would collapse the fossil fuels empire. The repressive political policing and excessive waste of tax payers money should indicate this to anyone.
"maybe the govt could have put that money towards renewable energy schemes"
That's exactly why people protest, because otherwise you rely on hope; which is more like a pipe-dreams.

Imagine a world in which police spent more time investigating rapes than attacking environmentalists. (read: dissidents) But that world will never exist because cops have the same abusive mentality of entitlement and an urge to control that rapists have.
WeWillWinAnarchy 3 years ago
Legitimate rapes have a very high detection rate. Only a certain number of officers are required to investigate a rape. In contrast a huge number are required when morons are threatening to break the law and shut a power station down.
Any bets who will win this one?
MrSmithThe1234 3 years ago
Define "legitimate". Is being raped in the back room at a party by a friend of a friend "legitimate" because those rapes are hardly ever prosecuted.
P.S. E-bombs are far more effective than simply shutting down a power station and can be made for under $500. w00t.
WeWillWinAnarchy 3 years ago
Legitimate = an actual offence where consent had not been given. This as oppose to a prostitute not being paid or someone who gets a bit drunk and regrets it later, both withdrawing consent after the event.
The CPS are responsible for prosecuting, so a decision not to lies with them.
What do you expect the police to do when people directly state they will close a power station down on X date?
This event wouldn't impact upon and police forces as the finances are nearly all from the state.
