Rostock 2007

Rostock Overview

Things have started dying down in Rostock, although it appears the blockades are still going strong (almost 24 hours after they started). Maybe it's a bit premature but before the whole week goes down in the history books, a quick look at the overall events of the week and the meaning for the movement might be in order.

Actions

Back in 2003 George Bush's visit to London brought hundreds of thousands of people onto the streets. He stayed at Buckingham Palace under siege and the world was certain that although he was feted by the government and the royal family, normal people in the UK did not welcome him. The largest mobilisation during his stay was indeed the biggest EVER protest in London on a weekday; 300,000 people turned out to register their disgust.

We are constantly being told that easy personal actions will 'save the climate'. The problem is that most of these “top ten tips” are ineffectual and play directly to our denial tendencies.

Analysis
