independent journalist Jonhy Agnew invites you to Climate Camp Scotland

From http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/aug/11/climate-activists-charged

Three climate activists involved in the occupation of a proposed opencast coalmine at Mainshill in Scotland have been charged with breach of the peace after a confrontation at a local councillor's house.

Dan Glass, a climate campaigner who tried to glue his hand to Gordon Brown's hand at a Number 10 reception last year, and two other men were released on bail after appearing at Lanark sheriff court this afternoon.

The trio Glass, 25, Jonny Agnew, 23, from Glasgow and James Holland, 37, a Greenpeace press office assistant from Bow, London were held in police cells overnight after being arrested on Monday at the home of the Labour councillor Danny Meikle in the nearby town of Coalburn.

They pled not guilty and were granted bail after Sheriff Nicola Stewart rejected prosecution requests for Glass and Agnew to be remanded in custody until their trial on 11 November.

Glass and Agnew are already on bail after being arrested during a Plane Stupid occupation of Aberdeen airport in March, where the protesters dressed up as Donald Trump in protest at its expansion and his £1bn golfing resort.

Agent provocateurs will play you for fools by encouraging you to commit unlawful acts. Damaging people and property, theft and fraud are all unlawful. All the rest are statutes which only apply with the consent of the governed and are enforced, unlawfully, with violence in order to generate revenue. Lawful and Legal are not interchangeable terms, those who would tell you otherwise usually have financial interests in creating confusion. Many police will support lawful direct action. TPUC.ORG

Coal rules!

It is your kind that bury their heads in the sand. Nobody wants you here. Stop your lies about support because the overwhelmingly vast majority hate you. Go home. You are disrupting honest working people from earning a living. Corporation fatcats, corruption, we don't care about these things. We just want some jobs in the area. Unlike most of you, we don't like being out of work and leeching off the dole. we just want the opertunity to get back to work.
