As well as shovelling the odd load of coal from the load inside, they unfurled a 15ft long yellow banner which featured the slogan "Leave It In The Ground!"
The protesters claim that to tackle the threat of global warming effectively, Drax should be shut down immediately, as it is the largest single greenhouse gas polluter in the country.
Great idea, and why stop there, why not shut down all of them ? ...then we can spend the rest of our lives sitting at home with no jobs to go to, and no lighting or heating.

But then maybe these people don't have jobs to go to anyway ?

That was the first thing that came into my mind,"Why are'nt they at work?"

They probably want us to leave it in the ground because they are concerned we might ask them to mine it. That would never do.

When they have finished here they can go to Russia and China and do the same there and see how they get on, I dont think we will see them again if they do.
