Not such a failure!

There are still people on the boat, and the e-on statement makes it clear that is causing problems for them.
This is all over the headlines on the BBC and other news sites... yet more bad press for e-on, and another opportunity for us to voice OUR opinions.
And, of course, getting up off your arse and doing something about what you believe in should NEVER be classed as failure!
I agree its a shame the boat docked... but that said, It's never possible to know how an action will work out, and so to carry on and do it in the hope of success, despite the odds, is grand. I have no idea what the goal of the action was precisely, as I havent been part of it, but I'm guessing if it was purely to stop the boat docking and landind the coal, that wouldnt have stopped production because they have masses of the stuff stocked up. I dont know.... what I do know is that this is a great and risky thing to have done, and they deserve our praise... so GOOD ON THEM!

Orginal post mistaken

Equally no-one jumped from the mast, no one has been rescued from the Medway and none of the boats have been seized, so I'm not sure where the orginal poster gets their info from.

It would be good if someone wrote an accurate account of what happened.
