A few observations I feel would be in order.
1. Funny how the hang em high, drown em in rats p1ss ( I liked that one) etc brigade come out on such an issue as trespass. I don't hear the same people when the gits that broke into my brothers house get let off with a "warning" (whatever that is). Wasn't that trespass and the stolen goods never turned up and the insurance company has made them jump through hoops. They were only drug addicts not long haired swampies, I suppose that is the difference.
2. Even if they managed to breach security they could never turn the power station off (unless they managed to significantly raise the temp of the river upstream somehow). Even if they did the security of the national grid and power supplies is assured. It is just conceivable that the National Grid company has actual plans for such a contingency.
3. We live in a democracry (thank goodness) and peaceful but massed protest has actually achieved a lot of good in the past. Two examples are Greenham common/nukes and the poll tax.
4. Perhaps there won't actually be an "invasion" but at least the organisers will have raised the subject in the consciousness of a lot more people than say a scientist would publishing a paper in some obscure magazine.
5. Thanks again Nickbat for bringing a contentious issue to a wider audience for their delectation.

more excellent observations Varche - totally agree with peaceful protest, when it turns toward violence is when I can't support it (you don't walk into a power station peacefully if you're not meant to be there)
i'm sure the authorities will be more than adequately prepared at all power stations across the UK, needlessly diverting resources
anyone is free to believe whatever they like and demonstrate their feelings - just don't let it unfairly disrupt others - unless the cause itself is freedom from oppression or tyranny, this tho is perpetrated by a largely middle-class bunch of halfwit graduates and is not worthy of any support. i'm sure if Daddy's money was cutoff and they had to get a job this wouldn't seem such a priority for them
