Digging for Victory

Synopsis

Asks whether direct-action protest can ever be morally justifiable, in light of the anti-road campaign in which protesters occupied tunnels near the A30, the animal export protesters and the camp in protest at the second runway at Manchester Airport. Nick Ross chairs a panel comprising Peter Bottomley MP, environmentalist George Mombiot, Joanna Wilson, James Bartholomew and road protester Merrick Godhaven.
