So yesterday morning I woke up and went on facebook to see a link to this news story:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/7996394.stm
I was a bit worried when I read it all, because a lot of my friends are involved in groups like this, and a lot live in Sneinton. I wanted to go out drinking because yesterday was a national day off work, but nobodys phones were switched on. All my friends got busted, for something they hadn't even done.
I would join in with actions like this, except I hate banner waving and I'm not sure that having a criminal record would help my longterm plan of becoming a teacher. Any of you guys ever been arrested for being on a march or anything similar?
Police hold 114 in power protest
The 114 people were arrested at a school in the Sneinton Dale area
More than 100 people have been arrested in Nottingham over a suspected plan to target a power station.
Police said 114 men and women were arrested in Sneinton Dale on suspicion of conspiracy to commit aggravated trespass and criminal damage.
Officers said they believed those arrested were planning to protest at nearby Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station.
Police said equipment including bolt-cutters was found and they feared a threat to the safety of the site.
A police spokesman said it was thought there was a "serious threat" to the coal-fired power station, which is eight miles south-west of Nottingham.
More than 200 police officers from Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire and British Transport Police were involved in the arrests at the Iona School.
