Extraordinarily inspirational work!
I especially love the image evoked: "eople swarmed everywhere, making good use of their access as security locked themselves down in their central compound behind lines of harris fencing, though that was no obstacle. Indeed, the only work that Shell did today was building a sorry pile of mangled fences."
You are my heroes!
Shell bought this house and land attached from a local landowner, Johnny McAndrew. Johnny had protested along with other locals at May County Council's efforts to widen the road there for Shell. The protest added value to Johnny's land and he sold out when the price was right for him. Shell built a road through the land and have a compound there now to build the onshore pipeline. IRMS security now have use of the house.
