Fair Pensions Tar Sands Campaign
Date: 2010-02-27

A website has been set up where you can email some of Shell and BP’s most powerful investors (including your own pension fund, if you have one) to build the pressure at countingthecost.org.uk

Well done to the climate campaigners currently atop Didcot power station. Shame on the media for not reporting it fully - this link is to Indymedia. There are NO HEADLINES on major broadcast networks that I've seen. I suppose they are just looking for confrontation rather than what's actually happening, as usual.
