Despite ongoing police disruption the Climate Camp is up and running in Kingsnorth in Kent, UK. The protesters, as well as setting up a temporary sustainable ecological community, are intent on using non-violent direct action to close the power station on Saturday 9th August. Last year a similar camp succeeded in shutting down the headquarters of BAA, the owners of Heathrow Airport, for 24 hours using similar tactics. That protest was directed at the planned extention of Heathrow through the addition of a third runway.
