Miscellaneous video footage from the 1st day of the Climate Swoop on Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station.

The 'Battle of the Fence' footage I uploaded has been withdrawn from public viewing at the request of The Camp for Climate Action. For more details contact press@climatecamp.org.uk

  • Ironically I'm watching this On the internet, on a computer, powered by electricity. From a power station. Generated by burning coal! Therefore I should imagine all the people who attended will be sitting at home, in the dark, without any electricity. Otherwise you are all hypocrites. And well done for wasting police resources. I'm sure all the coppers appreciated their double rate rest day pay!

  • Yes, the video battle of the fences video should be reinstated. Obviously the protestors were proud enough of it, and their actions to post it in the first place, presumably thinking it would summon up more support. Come on climate camp! Either reinstate it, or explain why you had it removed.

see all

  • @sexsexboy well if you could read AND spell (i assume sgum means scum) then you will see I wrote AFTER THIS VIDEO WAS FILMED!!

    So yes I suppose you are going blind

  • you protesters need some facts straight

    1. renewables are seasonal

    2. wind farms dont always blow in the right direction

    3. coal has feuter and is better than renewables or wind farms

    nithere climate change or green peace never suceeds it always fails at every protest so my electric gose out im blaming you and will be your fault green peace and climate change you cause aggrevated tresspass,disruption,make problems worse,you never acheiave anything by doing what you do.

  • Those who work in the industry know at first hand the efforts that go into keeping emissions to a minimum on power stations. To all protestors I say this, with out demand there would be no requirement to generate. It's simple pyhsics. You protestors are generally middle class, educated and motivated, why not channel your energy into helping solve the energy/ climate problem? Instead of causing unnessesary expense and problems for companies' trying to do it for you.

  • Funny how there is so many activists here, perhaps a direct correlaton that there is a university near by! Also amusing how 'rent a mob' does not turn up outside certain nuclear facilities in Berkshire and try to scale the fence. Oh wait thats because of a wonderful law called: SOCAP, Criminal Trespass!

  • @lobstershriek thats a hard one too debate on here

  • @elephantfeet1 am i going blind , becos where the FUCK are the sgum geting injured here ?

  • So basically you all sat around, yelled unintelligible stuff, ate food, made fashion statements (look at us, we're all upper-middle class), listened to shitty music, annoyed and amused police -- doing just enough to make yourselves 'feel' like "rebels" whilst not getting arrested. Ain't no 60's, and even then it was all disgusting bullshit, too. +1 for the ethanol industry killing millions every year in Africa and starting mass food riots.

  • i dont know how u all live with yourselves after what mindless fighting u did after this video was filmed. How u call yourselves protesters when ur just violent thugs!! police were injured! why?? they are doing their job to not let u get into the station as its tresspassing and dangerous!! i suppose if u had half a brain cell u wouldnt be doing this. im ashamed that u live in the same country as me. I hope that when your in trouble the police leave u as u did not have the care/respect for them.

  • or they get their energy from renewable sources perhaps??

    Just a thought!!
