"I remember the media coverage while the camp was ongoing, you lot did not come off well and a few stories in the papers months later are not going to change that."

Coverage was more prevalent and more sympathetic than previous years.

Police violence didnt last more than a couple of days, they shifted to goon squad harrassment. That's because they looked silly in the press.

Even Sky coverage was fairly balanced.

"Fine, you caught me. Anybody who criticises any aspect of any event or action organised by the Climate Campers is part of a secret conspiracy organised by the Man to bring your buzz down"

Any campaign group runs the risk of paranoia and hidden hierarchies etc. For its size, Climate Camp really isnt too bad for these things.

Baukinin - did you go to "gates" meetings - I ended up doing quite a lot, especially on K5. Perhaps we have met. How exiting

I didn't go to any gates meetings, but I was up at K5 a few times and down near the south gate when they came through there. They seemed hell-bent on provoking trouble by doing that and I'm glad we didn't respond as that would have been, IMHO, a bad move on our part.
