The Henley Regatta should be banned on health and safety grounds. Those multiple chins and all that hot air are neither healthy nor safe.
The demonstrators are certainly enterprising. I feel I should be there, but I have family and concomitant work commitments these days, which come before risking arrest.
I should say that I'm actually more on Arthur Scargill's side than the "No coal" group. I think coal gasification with proper catchment methods for the harmful emissions is the way forward, given the failure of solar, wind and wave technology to be effective so far. Certainly nuclear power isn't an option. On the principle of "what can go wrong will go wrong", and the various accidents that have already occurred, it is astonishingly dangerous, especially for a tiny island like this one.
