Oi! Lego of my power station

Ohgod

Its clearly the season of silly protests.

After the antics of "subsidiarity man" (below) now we have the world's first lego protest.



E.ON’s replica of the Kingsnorth coal-fired power station has been occupied by one inch tall climate change campaigners. The drama unfolded at the Legoland park in Windsor – sponsored by E.ON – where the Lego Kingsnorth is given pride of place next to Big Ben and Canary Wharf.

The Lego campaigners struck as hundreds of people gather at this year’s Climate Camp to protest the planned new coal plant at Kingsnorth in Kent.

The six campaigners appeared at the top of the construction at around 11am this morning, before unveiling a banner saying STOP CLIMATE CHANGE down the length of the tower. Lego police are in attendance at the foot of the tower, along with a Lego police helicopter.

Indymedia notes that

Neither the campaigners nor the police would comment, because they’re made of Lego and therefore can’t talk.
