Brilliant account of the Climate Camp

Amelia's Magazine : Climate Camp in the City : April 4, 2009

Read this, if you read nothing else. Read about a peaceful festival of protest against the spurious Carbon Trading. Read how peaceful, non-violent, playful protesters who just happened to be camping in the City of London for 24 hours were set upon and beaten by police acting under the orders of "Commander" Bob Broadhurst.

Understand that there was no violence from the demonstrators, nothing was broken, no damage to property and person, nothing apart from disobedience. And the response of the Law was violence, gratuitous violence, beating peaceful demonstrators with their hands in the air, chanting "peace not violence".

We must stay non-violent, and must work to bring Bob Broadhurst and those higher up in the chain of command to book.

Otherwise Britain is going to end up like Burma.

Burma without the sunshine.
