Crude Awakening - Coryton Refinery Oil Blockade

Hundreds of demonstrators have stopped 375,000 gallons of fuel from leaving a depot after blockading the road to an oil refinery.

Police were forced to close the road after 100's of protesters created several blockades along the only road route to the refinary.

One block of 12 women handcuffed themselves to lorries parked to deliberately block the main road leading to the Coryton refinery in Essex.

Demonstrators stopped traffic getting to and from the site, exacerbating climate change.

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

@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!!!!!

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

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

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.
