Is the Tide Turning?

Greenpeace has been up to its tricks again lately, this time in Greenland. It’s the usual self-righteous vandalism – and I’m being polite here. Others might refer to it as piracy on the high seas and they wouldn’t be far wrong. Frankly, the French had the right idea with these bastards. If they play rough, then sinking their vessels is perfectly reasonable. I always thought I was in a minority regarding these sanctimonious saboteurs. But these days, maybe not.

The stunt was branded an “openly-illegal act” and a “gross violation” of safety rules by Greenland’s prime minister, Kuupik Kleist.

Yes, and they should be vigorously prosecuted. And it should keep happening until they get the message. And if it wasn’t for those “safety laws” drilling could continue and the protestors would have to take their chances. It’s the safety laws that they are relying upon to get their way – that and the basic decency of the people they are attacking.

What is interesting, though, is the comments that are largely hostile to Greenpeace, so perhaps I’m not alone in my contempt for these utter hypocrites.

Greenpeace, an organisation of toffs dedicated to driving humanity back to the bronze age, is now openly declaring war on Greenland, one of the poorest nations in the world, as it tries to improve the conditions of the people through exploring and exploiting oil finds.

Unfortunately, Greenland only had the Danish Navy watching its back, and they seem to have been pretty much useless.

The Greenlanders need to get some proper naval forces who won’t be afraid to turn heavy machine guns on the posh boys and girls who are determined to keep the people down and living in misery.

Ahem!
