"The protest is being staged by members of Leave it in the Ground, a
group which campaigns against open cast mining."
So does that mean if they found out it came from a deep level polish
mine they'd all bugger off and let the train driver do his job? Or are
they just yet another student splinter group of a splinter group that
does general hand waving enviromental protests about whichever company
they've decided is Bogeyman Of The Week?
I bet if they publish pictures of them there'll be the obligatory
girls with nose rings tie-dye dungarees and optional "ethnic" style
dreadlocks, scrawny looking blokes with robinson crusoe beards who can
just about lift a banner between the pair of them , and the de-rigeur
village idiots blowing whistles and banging tambourines with a
cannabis cake on slow cook back at the "Peace camp".
