the war on terror at climate camp
Kent Police, Medway Council and other organisations that provide services to you are working together to ensure the camp causes the least disruption possible to your daily lives.From the Kent Police website
Good old Kent Police. In order to cause the least possible disruption, they have also put 1,400 officers from 26 forces on standby during the Climate Camp - which may mean that we have to share a police officer between 2 of us. Good old Kent Police have also squeezed a budget of £1m1 out of the taxpayer's pocket. And they have already confiscated some truly terrifying weapons of mass destruction:
Police were issued with a warrant for the searching and seizing of articles for use in criminal damage... Confiscated items now include: rope, tools, a ladder, three boardgames, boiler suits, wet suits and flares. (Indymedia, 31st July)
One of the games was apparently a war on terror boardgame. Just in case those happy campers might be planning to use it to invade Iran, or commit some other war-on-terror crime.
And just for good measure, in case the happy campers thought they might be able to refresh themselves and then relieve themselves with least disruption to their daily lives, "The [police] took away water pipes for the provision of fresh water and materials essential for sanitation and they even took away children's crayons and a board game."

Find out why we are planning to cause maximal disruption to this planet's daily emission of carbon at the Climate Camp website. View the number of human lives that are already 'disrupted' annually (but not in Kent), in the estimation of the World Health Organisation, and as a result of man-made global warming. 150,000 climate deaths per year, according to the WHO, which makes 1.2 million premature deaths (on a conservative estimate) since they completed their study in 2000.
