Reclaim the Streets Footie Match
Meanwhile nearer to home a Reclaim the Streets footie match last
Saturday went surreally well with 30-odd people taking over the road
before the pitch was invaded by the police and match abandoned. On
Monday Capital Radio, found it's early morning breakfast show
interupted by the `The Climate Change Criminals' - two minutes in the
style of a 50's horror movie, exposed the attempts by the oil industry to
wreck a satisfactory climate agreement. Up north 18 Earth First!ers wearing
gas masks and chemical suits scaled an aerial walkway at Manchester airport
to protest about increasing CO2 emissions from air transport. They were
nicked after delaying flights for 4 hours!
