Phorum, as configured, works in a mysterious way. The @#$%& is general-purpose. AFAICS, if a word contains an offending string, [ed: for some of them] the whole word seems to come out as @#$%&. But if you enter different offending words explicitly in the search window, the search returns different sets of hits. So there are in reality all sorts of @#$%&s. Ratty's making sense, but in a rather ambiguous sort of way. Without testing, we can't tell what kind of @#$%& he is on any particular day, or even in any particular post.

If anyone's interested in a film about civil disobedience surrounding climate change, have a look here: Just Do It.


Subtitled "the inside story on the UK's biggest troublemakers", it's a documentary looking at climate change protestors, currently in post-production and looking to raise funding. If you support their cause, have a shufty and give them some money - for every pound they raise in October, Lush (makers of uber-smelly bath things) will match fund it.


I saw some of the edits earlier this week and it was moving and quite affecting (while some bits weren't quite my kind of politics too) but worth a look.


And if you're not a big old fan of oil, or at least the oil industry's part in climate change, there's a march tomorrow. Get creative and get disobedient: www.crudeawakening.org.uk

I think it's pretty unlikely there will be much effective civil disobedience of the sorts Rosie mentions, it's rare that a group is well trained and strategic in their use of those sorts of tactics.


More likely waves of protests ranging from petitioners on street corners to (hopefully not) 1980s-style riots.

      Yes, it seemed to have an underlying agenda, and a strange first post. That's really good that you took photos and gave them to the police. Hopefully the kids can be identified before they physically hurt someone (or cause further damage or distress).

      Agreed Sue - I was suspicious of this post. The poster has only posted once, too.  If you were one of those kids, or you know them, I can tell you that I have some excellent photos of some of them on the roof, which I passed to the police.  What they did was assault.

      Why? Unless there were distinctive features such as unusual clothing, how is that going to identify them, and even if it did, what would be the point, without photographic evidence that they had done anything wrong?
