The Oxford Times has been conspicuous by its absence in the coverage of the Radley Lakes Issue, although it gave prominence to the Save the Abindon Outdoor Pool. One wonders whether it is because the Newsquest Series has some tie up with NPower viz the half page spread each week in the Herald where NPower are trying to buy their Green Credentials by supporting local groups. It's about time Newsquest dumped this Vandalising Entity.

Now we have seen just what a Company they are. Bullying, hectoring, starting work before the Town Green Application has been heard, destroying trees and depriving birds of their roosting places all in the name of Greed, not Need. They have changed their tune of late. Radley is not their only option, it is their "best option" to dispose of their ash. Best means "Cheapest" and this is what NPower are Cheap and N***y.

Their Security Guards have intimidated people from day one. Now they have the force of an "injunction" handed out by nPower's lawyers like confetti to anyone walking past Sandles last week. People who stopped to look at the destruction were harrassed into moving on because they were told "the injunction meant they could not loiter and be within so many feet of NPower's premises".

This is Democracy in Great Britain today when a Company owned by Germans use tactics more reminiscent of their ancestors to try and stifle lawful activities and peaceful protest.

They said that the people named in the injunction had to make Save Radley Lakes send the injunction to all its members and post the document on its website. The people named in the injunction have no control over the Save Radley Lakes Website yet these lawyers saw fit to demand this process be followed. Who are these thuggish individuals that they can threaten ordinary people in this way? To appeal against the injunction will cost thousands of pounds.

The Editor of the Times has got it right. There has been no evidence of threats from the people who occupied the house or from any member of Save Radley Lakes, and to add Dr. Peter Harbour, a distinguished retired scientist to an injunction designed to deal with extreme letterbombers and the like is disgusting, and speaks volumes for the despicable actions of RWE and its subsidiary NPower.

John Rainford, the Manager at Didcot Power Station, put his name to the injunction apparently. How does he sleep at night?

What a lovely peaceful friendly demonstration. Not an extremist in sight. Did we deserve to be the subject of nPower's injunction? (I lost count of the people taking part as more people joined from Wick Hall and caught up with the tail of the procession) but when we got there and saw the devastation wreaked by nPower and their contractors, it was gut-wrenching. Someone next to me in the procession told me that the tree-fellers had been cheering the day before as the trees came down because there were people watching them. That made me very sad but not surprised as NPower have obviously employed like-minded morons who value money above the environent.

I think we should all, individually, email RWE whether on their German web site or here in England, to request details of the evidence which made them so scared that they needed an injunction. We need to be satisfied as to why they needed this 'measured response'. Then we need to know which ruler they were using! Was it an English ruler or one in jackboots?

Yet another sorry day and another nail in the coffin of democracy and freedom. To think of the number of people who have given their lives for freedom from tyrrany and our judicial system has sunk to an all time low to go along with this sort of behaviour.
