Please keep us updated, Thanx :)
That sounds cool guys. Wish I could be there. Well done to all involved!!
Cool enough news. I'm just wondering does anyone know what is going on with them now? I heard all four of the lads were arrested. He, he, he - but now I'm wondering have they been released/charged or what? Please if anyone knows tell us.

The Sunday Times is reporting four arrests and excellent banners. Unfortunately they won't let you read the article online (It's bizarrely titled "Irish Navy to Monitor Shipments").
Well I read on teletext today that they were all out on bail and will have to appear in court in Whitehaven in about 9 days time.
Yesterday morning the charges against the "Rooftop Four" were dropped.
Richie, Tracey, Chris and barry had been charged under section 5 of the UK Public Order Act 1986
for "Aggressive, threatening behaviour or public disorder likely to cause alarm distress or insult to a person within sight or hearing" - crap basically as it was a very peaceful protests, no violence, vandalism or unwanted conversation with the staff or police. I was there for 10 hours in front of the centre keeping an eye on everyone and phoning the media.
The pictures should be available shortly, but they show 4 happy smiling people getting on with a rooftop occupation, the staff and police were greeted respectfully and the whole atmosphere was fairly professional.
I have been talking to two of the four since the charges were dropped. they're disappointed not to get their day in court to highlight the culture of lies that BNFL operates in.
This campagin needs more support, and not just moral support. We need people lobbying and protesting. Come on the next protest, if you can't make the journey, get to the British embassy, or write them letters, raise money to help pay for the protests. GET INVOLVED.
