I desperately think we need a large grass roots movement lobbying the government on renewables, climate change etc - thats why I went to the camp - but would like some harder scientific targets, rather than &#39;down with capitalism&#39;. <br /><br />But I admire alot of the direct action that group of people have done, on the Heathrow runway, on Kingsnorth etc. <br /><br />All the best, <br /><br />JulesJules Evanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06667693426787755411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168105775087280288.post-14394209965542803282009-09-03T02:37:58.312-07:002009-09-03T02:37:58.312-07:00You did not take that picture at the camp though... I woulda seen that! <br /><br />I saw your post on Global Dashboard... I went to the camp, and have had--there and at many other times--similar thoughts. But I also always wonder what&#39;s so difficult about letting others that want the same stuff do it their way? The policy people won&#39;t ever get anything done without people from the street showing up naked at banks in the City, the kids at the camp won&#39;t get anything done without policy people bureaucratising. The German anti-nuclear movement around Gorleben demonstrated how that could work. Some groups do destructive stuff, most do civil disobedience (now illegal there as well), some work on the lobbying and policy side. But you won&#39;t get a divisive word out of any of them.Nicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12336002892136696637noreply@blogger.com
