It’s a good job that Greenham Common has deactivated then or they would have got really confused, poor dears. :confused:

Moggy, throw in a simultaneous G8 leaders summit at the same time, then they really wouldn’t know which way to turn….

Perhaps that’s the answer? Get the G8 Leaders to discuss a pro-nuclear power and anti-global warming agenda at short notice, preferably in far-off Japan, and leave the protesters to decide what to do…

Do they:

1. Travel to Japan by air to protest (and risk destroying the planet on their way)

2. Stay here and do nothing (but then risk being seen to be condoning G8 advocating use of more nuclear power)

3. Stay here and do nothing (again;) ), and be seen not to be supporting an “anti-GW” meeting.

Oh, so many choices, so many choices…..

Of course, they could always just follow the meeting on their wind/solar powered computers (assuming they can find one that hasn’t been built overseas, or at any cost to the planet’s finite resources).

One assumes the Heathrow protestors haven’t relied on the internet or mobile phones to coordinate the camp and subsequent “direct actions” at all – that would mean they had relied on systems powered (at least in part) by mains electricity – unless the mobile networks and ISPs all use only power generated from 100% renewable resources :diablo: .

Of course, rather than spend time, effort, resources and cash camping out at Heathrow, perhaps they could have donated the cost of their travel to/from the camp to charities helping the millions currently starving in Africa, or those currently trying to recover from the recent flooding in India…but of course, that sort of silent action doesn’t quite have the same glamour about it does it?
