given greenpeace buy their solar panels!!!!!!!!!

THEY CHARGE £50 TO £80 FOR DAYS IN A MUD HEEP FIELD WITH CHEMI TOILETS TO PEEPS WHO POSE AS CONCERNED BEINGS..... DON'T BUY THIS SHIT !

FUCK THEM, THE ONLY FESTIVAL IS A FREE FESTIVAL !

BGG have the most tolerant attitude towards those who walk in through the surrounding fields among the big festivals.
Surely you cannot accuse them for trying their luck by fixing a fee.

What is funny is the number of dickheads/cunts who pay that fee turn up strip off and do all sorts mumbo jumbo. By this all they do is encourage raising the fees and building upto something like the pig farmers do in Pilton. That annual concentration camp has zero arrests inside anything not violence related but there were 100s of arrests just outside the concrete walls for drugs.
That is the funny part.

The piggy part is the near secret dealings with BP etc. as if they do not know what the fuck is Baku-Ceyhan pipeline is or the oil industry is.

Reality is likely to get in the way of ideological purity.

We'd like it better if the multinational capitalist entities were "ideological" too, if they restricted their activities to the generally destructive and left possible better alternatives strictly alone. But the tricky bastards, they're only out to make a buck. So if it looks like there are profits to be made in "alternative technologies" they will have operations there with independent holdings, dependent subsidiaries, divisions, etc. And there's not a damned thing we can do about that.

See, they are not destroying the environment "with dilligence" but with "gross negligence". Probably nobody is actively TRYING to destroy the environment, just acting with total disregard of the damage caused in the blind quest for profits. Which means that if and when oportunities arise to profit with activities that are less destructive (or even constructive) we can expect to find them in the thick of it.

So here with this situation. Maybe the "solar" market is going to take off. In which an outfit like BP is going to want their share of that, hedging their bet so to speak. Now I'm NOT saying that means it's OK, but the criticism I'm seeing here seems too knee jerk. Not enough thought going in as to HOW we can constructively respond to the "intrusion".

When some ppl spotted the BP logos on the Saturday, they persuaded the sales folk to remove them. But we want to remove BP's tokenistic solar company too. It may have made the lowest bid to the BGG but the real cost is of course horrendous.

that there is an oil company, that, like BP, causes environmental degradation, committs human rights abuses, and....

has NOT invested a single dollar in clean renewable resources whatsoever.

The name of that company? ExxonMobil (who trade under the name "Esso" in the UK). See  http://www.stopesso.com for more info.

All I can say is if this BP thing is such a big issue for you all, write a letter or send an e-mail to the organisers explaining why BP should not be at such an event.

Have you tried to expand what BP solar is?

British Petroleum Solar!

Atleast Exxon-Mobil is straight about what they stand for.

BP a bent bunch of paedophiles at best.

I have no time for narrow minded, ingnorant, twats like you. At least I don't go telling people that they are idiots just for having a view different to mine.

You are the weakest link, goodbye.

I thought you stopped watching Weakest Link and BBC in March this year.
