Subject: Climate camp
A climate camp has set up on Blackheath, a couple of miles from where I
live. This is where Wat Tyler's peasants' revolt came to a sticky end in
1381, and the Cornish Rebellion came to an end in 1497, so there are some
nice historical resonances and continuity with the tradition of protest.
I went up there yesterday evening to have a look. Here's one of my
pictures;
I'll try and post a few more later today:

It's quite interesting and seems to have the support of most of the
locals,
who are mostly bourgeois liberals like me. The camp is right next to an
army
barracks, where the police have set up a cherry-picker loaded with cameras
and videos overlooking the protesters. They are apparently photographing
everyone who visits, which is rather a waste of taxpayers' film if you ask
me.
Some of the news reports:
