We back Vehicle Charging Station protesters
It started with Jim Lloyd mentioning Eldridge Cleaver to Justin Elliott in the village shop. Justin of course had never heard of him. Justin grasped enough however to warn Daveed in the Bull that a protest against the proposed Vehicle Charging Station was underway.
He also alerted Damara Capital, who are in fact behind the project. In doing so it became clear why Elliott is volunteering to work in the village shop. He wanted to display his local community credentials knowing that he was a key player in a move to undermine it.
Subsequently Lloyd together with what might be charitably described as a popular front of protesters held a picket at Brookfield. Daveed blocked them with hay bales. Not to be deterred Lloyd booked himself into the B&B room at Brookfield and dropped a protest banner out of the window.
His tactic to publicise a sit-in on social media failed due to his own ineptitude. Chelsea, better at protest tactics, persuaded Jim that he would win on the arguments not stunts.
What We Think
Opposition to a Vehicle Charging Station (for electronic cars) might look like Nimbyism. It might hit trade in the village, but it might equally lead to more. However the fact that Damara Capital is behind the scheme shows that a bigger plan is in play. Their aim is to make profit out of the Borsetshire countryside. For the people they care not. We shall have more to say on tactics and strategies
