Just Do It: A Tale of Modern-day Outlaws Page #3
into what we want.
So it can be read
in a more anti-capitalist way.
Now, it wouldn't be a very good idea
to go directly from the camp
to the action,
since a group of activists setting off
with D-locks and ladders
would be likely to get rumbled.
So, they head to a temporary base
for the night.
- Yeah.
Has everyone got their batteries
out of their phones?
We've discussed
whether we want people
going into the building
with superglue.
Either trying to get past the barriers
up the escalators,
and into offices, or a trading space,
and supergluing to each other.
If we superglued to the building,
that would be criminal damage.
But we'll be supergluing
to each other.
And the idea was to sing songs.
Not nasty disruption, but disruption,
nonetheless, inside the building.
going inside and being outside
is aggravated trespass,
although going inside
will probably be slightly more.
If this goes to court, you're likely
to get a fine or community service.
Nothing too heavy,
but it will be more if you go inside.
Criminal damage we have avoided
at every cost in planning this action,
which has
much more severe consequences,
so I think we should keep it that way.
They could just try and bail us for
a long time away from Climate Camp.
With the Stansted protest
that some people did,
it happened in less than a month
that we went to court.
But in other cases,
like the Drax case,
it took almost a year,
so it can be any time.
And if you get called to court,
you have to go right then and there?
So, who's going arrestable?
- Can someone count?
- 18.
Oh, yeah!
Has anyone used superglue?
How do they deal with it?
I'd like to hear about that.
If they use the solvent, it shouldn't
hurt at all. It does just come off.
It slides off.
If all else fails,
it's every man for himself.
Just lock onto whatever you can.
Sally will be a spokesperson tomorrow,
so she checks her facts and figures.
As well as oil and gas, they're
also involved in the coal industry.
And specifically Eon.
They've given Eon loads of loans.
They've given them 6 billion of loans
since the bail-out.
To Eon, who are the company
who are involved in Kingsnorth.
If you were going to quote a figure,
make sure you say,
"Took part or were involved in loans,"
because what RBS do is,
they're like the intermediary
between investors
and investment projects...
We're making up the arm locks.
to lock yourself to someone,
so that it's hard to be separated.
It may appear like these guys are
seasoned pros, but don't be fooled.
Only a couple of them
have been arrested before.
The lock is on the front
of your neck, so you can undo it.
That's more comfortable.
How quick was that, guys?
- Pretty quick
- That was really good.
Can we have a talk-through?
James, your first part.
I'm going to drive down and check out
RBS subtly, have a cup of tea.
Look for any abnormal security,
police movements.
If that's all fine, I'm going to park
up and wait for you guys.
If it's not fine,
I'm going to call you.
People in the white marquee,
people blockading the outside -
go to the van, get everything out.
Then, as soon
as everything's out of the van,
that's when arrestable inside
need to go.
We follow straight afterwards,
and just behind us,
we need to have the non-arrestables.
I'm writing the number
of the Climate Camp legal support,
which will be the number we'll call
from jail, if we've been arrested.
And they'll contact our solicitors
and put all of that into action.
It's good to have it on you,
rather than on a piece of paper...
.. because your possessions
might be taken away.
They say, "Who do you want
to be informed about your arrest?"
Give them that number.
Yeah, I've got one of our phones,
so when we're in position,
I'm going to call James.
Oi, you're gonna hurt me.
You're gonna hit my head.
Oi! Whoa!
Can somebody
take the other side of this ladder?
Can you see them at all?
No, they must have got right inside.
Our money! Our future!
- Whose money?
- Our money!
- Have you got a spokesperson?
- I'm the spokesperson.
- OK.
- You'd like to know why we're here?
I would. Obviously,
you are causing a disruption.
We're renovating the RBS,
because we won't stand for the fact
that the government
has invested 33 billion
in the RBS, to bail it out,
and that is financing climate change,
due to the way
that money is invested.
You do realize that you're obstructing
people's access and egress
from the premises?
And obstructing people on the highway.
Michael Hannard,
UK Security Operations Manager.
You've entered unlawfully.
You've been asked to leave
and you've refused.
You've caused intimidation to staff
and disrupted the business.
Let me finish. As a representative
of the business, I will inform you
that if you refuse to leave
and are arrested,
then as a company,
we will prosecute you all.
Is there anything else
that I can do or say
that will make you leave the premises?
If you commit that RBS would stop
investing in the fossil-fuel industry
and change over to serious investment
in renewables,
we would happily leave,
if that was the commitment.
The touchy-feely policing means
the news is not distracted
by police violence
and can now find time to actually
report why the activists are there.
Campaigners have chained themselves
to the London headquarters of the RBS.
Dressed as construction workers,
they used bike locks and superglue
to attach themselves.
We aim
to shut down the bank for a day.
This is an anti-bank's holiday.
They're angry at the investment
in fossil-fuel projects.
Can I just ask
where you guys are from?
I'm from Hackney.
- And you?
- Bedfordshire.
- Where are you from?
- Daily Express, unfortunately.
Well, the Daily Express.
Sh*t. Where's that?
Before long the removal team arrive to
unglue the guys on the trading floor.
Just move out of the way, please.
- Is it superglue, or...?
- Yes.
I just heard that the people
who are sitting on the second floor
are at the police station.
They must have been taken
by a back way.
Are you happy with these at the front?
- Whose bank?
- Our bank!
- How's it going?
- Really well, I think.
We're still here
- that's always good.
The blockade has managed to hang on
until the end of the business day.
RBS are funding climate change
It's sh*t, it's tax-payers' money
We won't stand for this
We won't stand for this
Once again, Climate Camp
has grabbed the nation's attention
and inspired
a new generation of outlaws,
determined to be a thorn in the side
of capitalists.
I'm Tracy Howard.
I am a wife, mother,
resident and local campaigner
in the village of Sipson.
What's going on
in the village of Sipson?
At the moment we're under the threat
of the third runway.
