eCostain in Choppy Water

Cardiff EF! have escalated their campaign against the Cardiff Bay Barrage. They are now having regular weekly actions on Friday @ 11.30am, as well as spontaneous actions whenever possible. eCostain, one of the two companies building the barrage, are apparently experiencing severe financial difficulties. Activists in Cardiff recently staged a "hostile take-over bid" of their own when over 40 protesters invaded and occupied eCostain’s Cardiff H.Q.

The chairman of Associated British Ports, who are involved in the Barrage project as well as toxic dumping and live exports, was forced to abandon his lecture to the South Wales Institute of Engineers whilst protesters were escorted out by the police. After an hours disruption Sir Keith Stuart resumed his "lecture" to find that the police had only removed half the protesters. Avon Gorge EF! also targeted eCostain for action and found the staff eager to know whether they had anything to do with the "organisation" Earth First!. It looks like they are now expecting us so let’s not disappoint them! Adding to their misfortunes their London offices were recently the venue for some resourceful computer recyclers.... Oh dear!
