Human right to peaceful protest

Here I was, exactly five years ago in Balcombe, peacefully lorry surfing!

On that day, a coalition of local people and environmental protectors celebrated oil company Cuadrilla leaving Balcombe having run out of time to test the well they had drilled. Back then, protest here in Britain was clearly still a human right.

In the high court in London, Angus Energy has been trying to stifle public protest against oil and gas exploration in our village, along a four-mile stretch of road, and the same at their site in Brockham, Surrey, to which Angus will move soon.
