Break the Bank - Camp for Climate Action 2010

Camp for Climate Action 2010
Break the Bank!
Edinburgh

Four days of training and direct action: 21st--24th August

The Camp for Climate Action is a grassroots movement taking direct action against the root causes of climate change. We've already had major successes with Heathrow's third runway and E.ON's plans for a new coal fired power station at Kingsnorth.

This year we're targeting the Royal Bank of Scotland, one of the world's largest investor in oil, gas and coal.

Last year RBS were bailed out with £50 billion of public money. From tar sands extraction in Canada to coal infrastructure here in the UK, we're paying to trash our future. These projects are not just causing catastrophic climate change, but destroying the lives and livelihoods of people across the globe. Meanwhile, we're told there is no money left in the public pot and we should be braced for decades of public sectors cuts.

What are we doing about it? In August, people from across the UK will be converging to take back the power and Break the Bank! Our sustainable and collectively organised basecamp will give you the chance to learn, train up, and meet like minded individuals. Exciting action plans are also underway for those who want to get involved.

So come to Edinburgh this summer! We'll see you there.

All of you people who have put quotes against these guys seem to be very ill informed these are not hippies as hippies where around in the 60s and since when did wanting to save the planet and everyone in it become a view that can be only expressed by hippies, there is nothing bad about that and if you think there is then you are clearly closer to the nazi than they are. Secondly Capitalism is not here to say, as you can see in the news all around you it is reaching the end of its usability.

Did you really think that by blockading one building that RBS would close down? come on get a life and use your brains and do something useful. All this did was allow RBS staff to work from home or at an alternate site.....

I know I was one of them

'capitalism isnt working', of course you'd say that you fucking eco fascist tool. not only do you idiots believe in AGW, but most of you want some sort of collectivist government aswell. the sheer stupidity of you wannabe revolutionaries never ceases to amaze me, luckily with people like franny armstrong at the helm of your 'movement' you're going to continue to make yourself look like the daft cunts you are.

Climate Camp TV have blocked me from commenting on the You Tube videos of their sad little protests. What's the matter - not like the idea of free speech? Can't take it when someone disagrees with you?

I remember a group like that - "The Nazis" they were called. Right wing, left wing, it doesn't matter, basically all the same when it comes to refusing to accept that anyone else is allowed an opinion. It's MY planet too or does that only apply to people who agree with you?
