Photo's from yesterday's action at Finningley "Robin Hood" Airport and an update on the outrageous police response. 11 hours in the cells for giving out leaflets!
Finningley Climate Camp 1
Finningley Climate Camp 2
Runways To Ruin
The two people arrested for leafleting have yet to be charged, but have been released on bail. The police's decision to arrest people for aggravated trespass when their only "crime" was quietly leafleting the participants of a meeting is clear evidence that they are happy to act as the political enforcers for the rich and powerful as they fly us all to oblivion in the name of profit. The person arrested for breaching bail conditions was released without charge when a plod with a brain was finally found and the actual conditions looked at rather than guessed at.
Despite loss of liberty, the action was well worth it, taking up much of the publicity for the event with the truth about climate change, rather than the planned establishment lies.
As the final act of political repression, the participants were told, on camera, by a police inspector, that if they ever crossed a particular roundabout again they would be arrested for aggravated trespass!
The police state is here.
