The less than impressive fence at Gleneagles.

The locals and wildlife are unstandably quite fucked off about this.

Well it has to be said that as well as being a total eyesore the Gleneagles security fence is also pretty damn useless. It took me all of 7.5 seconds to jump over it which is half the time that Channel 4 managed. Unlike the channel 4 reporter I was carrying a heavy backpack and two cameras. I can only wonder how easy it would be to breach the defences carrying something even lighter like a suicide belt loaded with plastic explosives...?

On a serious note the fact that the world's eight most successful parasites are forced to meet in the middle of nowhere is in itself a victory. But everyone and I mean EVERYONE should make their way to Scotland to join the numerous demos and actions happening over the G8 week.

N.B. The fence will probably be more dificult to breach 1 week from now when hundreds of Police and Special Forces are on the other side. But that's ok cos we will all be in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, Faslane ect.......

In Genoa they had two-high 40 foot shipping boxes all around the Red Zone. Now that is a fence. AND WE STILL GOT IN. This little piss ant thing they have in Scotland will not last five seconds.

You are forgetting that soon there will be a line of police there also, so jumping over the fence will not be so easy.
