Climate Camp - Your Verdict

To the climate camp, great work today. I'm proud of you all.

On the whole this week has been a triumph for our mature democracy.

There are few places in the world where hundreds of people could occupy some land and march through the streets in protest without provoking a severe reaction from the state.

Yes, there have been excesses on both sides - a tiny number of protesters declared themselves to be prepared to break the law to achieve their avowed aim of shutting down the power station, and the police officer videoed assaulting a protester with a riot shield clearly used excessive force. In the main, however, protesters, police and local residents have conducted themseleves admirably. We should celebrate the successes of the week, and consign the less savoury incidents to oblivion.

Well.... that didnt work out too well for the protestors did it, loving the climate camps website update of "We`re in!" errm no I dont think so, hardly a great success as the Camp is reporting either, but then again I guess after the major hype they aren't very well going to admit that their plans went a little pear shaped and they made a right pigs ear of it.

So a week of hype with a hilarious ending, bye bye and good riddance
