Protestors Try To Shut Down A Power Station

Complete fannies.

While I broadly agree with the position of the protestors, this kind of direct action is massively irresponsible and dangerous, and if the police were cracking some heads here, I'm glad.

Re: Protestors Try To Shut Down A Power Station

Assuming they didn't have the knowledge nessecary to safely shut down the power station (assuming there are a range of procedures to follow to do so safely and not a big red button) then why did they really intend to do or hope to achieve?

That by meeting the staff face to face they would win then over to their position and they would either shut it down or show them how?

Re: Protestors Try To Shut Down A Power Station

"Can you help us put all of you out of your jobs?". A hard sell when you think about it, but there's a rizla paper between that and what Royal Mail seem to be up to.

Don't be daft, Les. Every cop is an asshole, and they all abuse their power.
Don't you know that?
