Aug 27-Sept 2 Climate Camp returns to London

There was a piece in the Guardian today about climate camp as a group saying that they need a unanimous consensus on every single decision before they resolve to follow any given proposition.

Isn't that a wee bit unrealistic?
 
The only reason for the media coverage was they were expecting some big camp outside somewhere important.

The fact they have decided on Blackheath means that I don't think that even the Guardian will report this tomorrow.

Never heard of An Gof or the Cornish Rebellion then then? :D
 
Where is the best place to park my 4x4 nearby its a long journey and ill be tired so somewhere not to far from the site would be ideal.

Sounds like every other student organisation TBH. :hmm: Once they realise that committees get fuck all done we'll probably be wearing swim-suits all year round and have hippos in the Thames again... :D

Handy Hint : If you're flying down its best to go either via Gatwick or City Airport.
 
It would make more of a point than sitting in some field in South East London (with a good tea hut though).

The only people they will annoy is Greenwich Council for not getting a permit first.

The aim of this camp is prep for direct action later this year, plus act as a base for other activities around London.

The camp site is not a protest in itself.
 
I cycled up there this afternoon and took a few pictures. Looks quite small in scale and a lot more tents to arrive. Maybe 500+ people there. Lots of lorries and vans - presumably carrying the marquees, scaffolding, etc...

Whole site surrounded by 6 foot metal fencing.

Lovely location and listening to the meeting I was kinda feeling that it would be nice to stay, be part of the community, meet some people and get stuck in. It's hard to see how the police could have much problem with the site (there was hardly any presence there). I imagine the coucil will be pissed, but I reckon there won't be much trace once they are gone. They seem pretty well organised to me.

I am quite busy this weekend, but otherwise would have loved to have popped up and camped over the weekend. Just for the experience.

I suppose that they haven't yet picked up on the irony that they're protesting against global warming... and it's raining?
