NERC Challenge part 2
discograham:
I know there will be a fair few who will argue that direct action is not the way to go.. their arguements will, I'm sure, be fair and valid..
But once again I feel that worrying about our public image will do no good if we lose out.. as we will.. and then there won't be any need to worry about the public image as noone will be on the lanes any more anyway...
If we don't make ourselves heard now then everything is lost...
And that means high profile dissruption...
Someone .... convince me that I'm just a voice in the wilderness talking out of my rear...
But I don't believe that I am...
Rangie3.0LtrDan:
Direct action is all thats left. What we need to do is get our voice in the press. Notice how well the RA get their voice in the press. Someone said to me its because we dont have enough people to raise a voice. I think we do. But what we need is someone, or some group to take charge and organise things, get organised protests going.
discograham:
Not a lot of comments about the idea of direct action then.... :(
Bit of a non starter with just two of us Dan..... :shock:
I guess its the old story.. afterwards everyone will say "ide have done something..." ... yeah... heard it all before....
Rangie3.0LtrDan:
See now what i think about here when i think of direct action is the scheduled "go slow" they had on the motorways during the fuel protests. They drew alot of attention to the cause. Maybe thats what we need. A rolling protest.

I have no problem with direct action, the Motorcycle action Group have been using it effectivly for years BUT they do it before legislation even gets started.
NERC is here and the only way forward is the legal route IMHO. You may be better off putting the cost of fuel you may have earmarked for this protest into either CRAG or glass or wait for someone to mount a legal challange and sending them the money.
