pipeline protests respect wishes of landowner , to protect her from bullying police and national grid officials….
after continued harrassment and bullying from the police and national grid, the 68 year old lady on whose land the trebanos pipeline protest was on has aked protestors to leave. she was informed by her legal representative that she still risked a £60k fine and possible arrest, although we are still unsure as to how serious the danger of this happening to her was.
to save her from this ordeal her wishes have been respected, this is a protest where the locals call the shots.
this is no defeat, we stopped them for nearly 2 weeks, and got them to abandon their plans to use explosives to blast sections of unstable hillside near a school.
the landowner, just like the overwhelming majority of local people, is still completely against the pipeline and in support of protestors.
our numbers are swelling as word of mouth and various publicity stunts have helped inform people about this, an issue which has been kept very quiet by the authorities. this is the biggest energy project Britian has ever seen, and it’s fossil fuel…. every level of corruption and intimidation and incompetance has been employed by those at the helm of this fossil fuel disaster.
meanwhile the mothers and grandmothers at milford haven are continuing to stop work. they are camped on a public footpath along the proposed route.
authorities are having great trouble moving them…. its public land you see
there are 36 places in total where the pipeline’s intended route crosses pub lic footpaths….. so if anyone’s up for camping, then find yourself a spot and go….
