Delingpole on Greenpeace "pirates": "how, exactly, is a country meant to react when one of its most vital industries is threatened with economic sabotage?"

Free the Greenpeace 30! (And spare us any more whingeing from Damon Albarn, Jude Law and that bloke out of the Clash) – Telegraph Blogs

My sympathies in this regard are mostly with the Russians. (As are Dominic Lawson's in this excellent piece here) They're being painted by the BBC as the bad guys for over-reacting by imprisoning supposedly harmless, peace-loving activists as "pirates." But how, exactly, is a country meant to react when one of its most vital industries is threatened with economic sabotage? Russia – unfortunately for the Greenpeace 30 – has yet to fall prey to the kind of intellectual decadence which now afflicts much of the West on green issues. In Europe, for example, our industry has a longstanding tradition of caving to Greenpeace's every bullying demand – as we saw when Shell gave in over Brent Spar. And even on those rare occasions when industry stands up to it – as Kingsnorth Power Station did when it sued Greenpeace for the £30,000 of damage carried out by its protestors – Greenpeace can not only afford the best legal teams you can buy when you're a multi-national organisation with annual global revenues of £196 million but can also rely on a sympathetic hearing from juries which have been brainwashed from childhood by a farrago of Greenpeace lies, half-truths, junk-science factoids and emotive propagandising.
