A lovely suitcase full of concrete

“I’m just lying back, I’ve got my hand in a lovely suitcase full of concrete… above me I can see the sky getting lighter, apparently the mist is rolling in…”

The amazing thing about this video from the recent blockade of Aberthaw power station is how… calm everything seems. The protesters lie in the road watching the sunrise, the police come and have a chat, a man from npower turns up and nobody listens to him, the power plant - largest emitter of carbon dioxide in Wales - gradually appears out of the mist.

Everyone sounds like they’re having a nice time - probably the kind of chilled-out wellbeing that comes from taking a stand for something you believe in.

Bonus points for spotting the obvious pronunciation mistakes of Welsh names. But let ‘em off - it was pretty early.

Cheers Jade for sending this.
