I'm suprised the BBC news this morning haven't mentioned this considering there are 31 protesters still up there.
Climate change definately appears to be the elephant in the room & I aplaude greenpeace for such an audacious protest.
It also asks a lot of questions of security at westminster.
How the hell did 55 people manage to avoid the security to climb when tourists get harassed for taking photos in the wrong places?

Greenpeace.........climate change............mass extinctions...........sea levels...........MP's expenses.

Which are they bothered about?

Mind you, there was a picture of Jaqui Smith in the paper today and she looked very unhappy. Maybe it is Amazon deforestation that worries her.

Her legs were chopped off. Wouldn't have noticed anyway. Shoes don't do anything for me.

AND.....

Your point is?...........

If you're bored with the subject of environmentalism then fair enough but don't carry blindly.

Annsandmike's point was that the media and politicians have their priorities wrong.

Stop being so stroppy!
