“The Key Stone Cops in action.Who ever the senior officers are who planned this debacle....they need dismissing for wasting public money and the miss use of legislation....that was designed to help stop terrorism...”

“"Its an outrage that so much tax payers money has been spent on drafting other forces in from surrounding areas, at a huge cost."

Really ?

I'm sure the costs incurred were far lower than had the police allowed these feeble minded "activists" to break into the power station & occupy it.

Simpson should be ashamed to back such action but he does the same with his support for illegal asylum seekers, undermining our public officials rather than giving them his backing.

The only person to have benefitted from Simpson's tenure as MP for Nottingham South is Simpson himself.

How does his faux concern for climate change and the environement tally with him jetting off to his third home in Tuscany ?

The man's a Chianti Socialist.”

“Well said Alan! Its an outrage that so much tax payers money has been spent on drafting other forces in from surrounding areas, at a huge cost. (find out with the freedom to information act) When in all actuality there is no founded crime to speak of, How do the police plan to prosecute for the possibility of an action? Grace you obviously have no concept of anything that went on, and indeed, rather than listen to the well made and fully justified points that have been made, you choose to critisise on personal points. Clearly making yourself look uneducated and foolish. As stated the people weren't in the school, but in an annex ajacent to the school. As the news reports have stated, the protestors arrived on the evening and arrested the same evening.
I only wish that our MPs for Nottingham east were as much involved within the interests of the voting community as Alan Simpson, rather than issuing no comments and press evasion tactics.”

“plse do not listen to alan simpson who has the highest expenses in nottingham, 3 houses paid for by us, and a daughter at a private nursery which he has put down in the past dont do as i do , do as i say, he forgets to mension that these people were in the school for more than one night.who let them in and what were they doing there they were breaking the law, so Alan Simpson stop advising people to break the law if they do they take the consequences”

“I wish you were my MP, the voice of Future Labour?”

“Alan - thanks for giving some perspective to this 'operation'. Recent similar heavy-handed tactics by the police have resulted in an innocent man's death in London, and while these protestors had every right to be frustrated by our government's lack of leadership on their own policies there was no need for so many police or the behaviour you describe against the Iona school from them. Presumably this independant, charitable school will now have to fork out to repair the damage done by the police.

I think it's worth noting that the group was stopped, no doubt, because it had been infiltrated - either by E-on or by the police.

As a campaigner, I'm not into direct action but I applaud those who had the passion and conviction to take a stand. When all else is failing it seems like this type of action is the only way left to be heard. It seems there's little hope for peaceful protest or even the right to challenge in our so-called 'democracy' anymore.”

“Alan you are a welcome voice of sanity in the moral desert otherwise known as the House of Commons. If t you apply the logic the police used here to other protests then some of the greatest people of the 20th Century (Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and so on) would be dismissed as common criminals.

As Gandhi one said ¿First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win¿

Hold on a minute someone in a uniform is knocking down the front door¿”

“I thought about speeding once !! Hey they are outside ! Whats that Red Dot !!.... Silence .........”
