UK Kingsworth protest

Saturday, August 9th is the big day of civil disobedience in the UK -- the Climate Camp gathered there is going to try and take over the Kingsnorth coal fired power station for the day. (It's about an hour north of London.)


The organizers say there will be thousands there, but I think that remains to be seen. Their dispatches say the local police have been giving them a pretty difficult time, sweeping the camp and taking even basic things like water purifiers and flashlights.

Should be interesting. I respect them for at least doing...something.
