I'm comparing the responses of those triggered by it. And comments about sailing while leaving them tied to the masts, and other vengeance-based remarks. The purpose of protest is to focus attention on the thing being protested. I would say they accomplished that nicely, and it doesn't matter how their van was fueled.

 

 

 

 

I dont agree with the earlier comments that were pretty harsh. These people accomplished nothing as its gone from the news quicksmart, you had to go to a Southern newspaper yesterday, its now gone. The diesel dos matter, are they green or not? They whinge about flying to climate change meetings and they do the same. Should have preached what they say and taken a train. There are ways to protest and try to make change, endangering people in a pure activist manner is not the way to go. This is why the Green Party is not popular as the great work down my many in that party is overruled by activism

 

 

I think the only folk they were really endangering were themselves. I am not sure how fastening oneself to bits of a ship at anchor is placing others at risk unless the crew decided to set sail with them still there.

 

It's my understanding they had to build scaffolding around the mast to cut off the restraint. That endangers the people having to do that, One would at least hope they had to pay for the time and effort for that to take place.
