I  have very little objection to peaceful protesters if they have genuine concerns about protecting the environment. Unfortunately most environmental causes always seem to attract the same assorted rabble eg women who regard themselves as 'Earth Mother' types, white guys with dreadlocks, facial piercings, tattoos and the like. I don't know why they think the wider world would look up to them as defenders of the countryside when all they seem to do in the process is leave the usual piles of discarded junk behind them for local councils to clear up at our expense.  You get the idea that most of them are jobless and only attach themselves to these causes because they have nothing better to do and like to be in the media spotlight,
