Re: Environment Protestors

to be honest I read the first paragraph of that report and couldn't help but laugh! Journalism at it's best, drawing up ridiculous head paragraphs to draw you in.
Can you imagine being stopped in your car on the M4 and the police saying, ' can I see your driving licence ,Sir, and proof that you don't beling to the RSPB. No? Then I'll have to arrest you sir'
Banning members from those groups/charities form airports and the M4, totally unworkable and unenforcable and I'm amazed the Independant actually printed the story like that.
As for the actual story, I am a member of several of the organisations mentioned and am seriously concerned about climate change but I find this whole protest thing annoying. Petitions, informing and teaching others etc is, in my mind, a much better way in getting yourself and your beliefs heard and, I believe, a much better way to strive for change than gathering en masse with banners and loud speakers which I think only make a lot of people turn and walk the other way.
