I agree Margaret, where was the security.
I am all for peaceful protest and was once a protester myself .
The event which was guaranteed to have media attention should have had stringent security.

Climate change has been going on for years and years and will continue to do so as long as governments are going to give the 'go-ahead' for extra runways at airports, continue using gas guzzling cars to carry them a few yards to work, continue using dozens of cars, motorcycles etc; to ferry just one member of the Royal Family and other VIPs from one place to another,
They should all practice what they preach and set examples

Nice to see the wealthy hypocrites in Green Peace protesting again, as they sail the world in their big diesel guzzling ships, polluting the worlds oceans and being a general pain in the ass.

They should stick to boot fairs, silly tee shirt slogans and making nick-nacks out of hemp.

If you believe that Climate Change is down to man (which I don't) Going Global was the final nail in the coffin....Moving goods around the world to save a few bob when it could be produced locally makes driving the royal family around pale into insignificance......

Agreed, and it's tactics like that last night which brings attention they seek but negative attention, turning the majority against their ridiculous antics.

One of the pop stars sons was involved in the Westminster farce, if you remember that. He ended up in jail and we haven't heard of him since.

Was it Otis Ferry ?

I wonder if Green Peace are allowed to borrow wealthy socialist, Sir Bob Geldof's super yacht ?
