Anti-Nuke Protesters Occupy Trees at Proposed New Hinkley Site

Overnight on February 6th, anti nuclear activists occupied trees on EDF's proposed new nuclear site west of Hinkley Point in Somerset. Although EDF have subsequently said that the work being done was only the clearing of dead elms, this is undoubtedly the first stage in preparing for major clearance, since EDF have now been given the go-ahead to begin reducing this beautiful piece of Somerset coastline to a lunar landscape. ;A video camera would be extremely helpful, and maybe more phones, but RIGHT NOW THEY NEED A DELIVERY OF WARM SOCKS.
