Peaceful,
non-violent protest - I had never imagined it would be defined down to
standing with a banner and tying ribbons. With lives literally at
stake... what next? What do those in authority think happens when you
prevent parents protecting their children from a clear, obvious, proven
danger?
In whose hands do we trust the lives of generations to come? We're not fools - we see the corruption of the powerful, the greed of industry, the abuse of power by authorities who use our resources to supress us and make us pay for our own demise...
Lancs police as always in abundance at the command of 'authority' to shut down the cries for help of a community at risk. Meanwhile - UNDER-policing puts their fellow officers at risk! Meanwhile the bill to our local council who can least afford it - runs to millions and our rates rise to cover it.
What now? The Climate Emergency is a bloody emergency and the government are fracking Lancashire - digging deep and scraping out more fossil fuel that we can never burn if we're to survive.
But hey - arrest that mother/father/grandpa because they swore in frustration at a protest or dared to attempt to protect their families/communities/
Who will save us when those in the position to - refuse to take this seriously?
