Guardian story
150 Greenpeace volunteers climbed easily over two perimeter wires to occupy Sizewell B, Britain's newest nuclear plant, for more than 12 hours yesterday .
Quote:
'"We knew that the British nuclear industry was technically clapped out and financially bankrupt. Now we know it's also impossibly insecure," said Mr Tindale.'
Now, I'm a paranoid sort of person and reading this article, which says that the police were well aware of them and they were completely open about what they were doing, makes me wonder if Greenpeace were allowed to do this so that British Energy can get some more subsidies from the government to increase their security.

Jump To Comment: 1From experience of the recent occupation of Sellafield visitors centre, I'd say it's more likley the case that the place is not secure enough.
Sellafield has lots of security staff, but it still took 10 & half hours to get four people off the roof.
even look at Shannon airport, the cops were there in large numbers, expected a trespass and were still unable to prevent it.
As long as such horribel things go on, people will find ways past their defences. It's that simple.
