The public's indifference to art has never been greater. No wonder, says Ferro: it's all just tired Left-progressive politics by another means. But the fightback for real art that moves the human soul has begun.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7What are ye burning? Seems like a bit of a contradiction. Great music by the way- who is it?
Very Brave.
Great video.
Hope you have a great week. Hats off to all who organised the event, the first in Ireland.
The plant burns milled peat, which is obtained from the surrounding bogs, which cover 5,500 hectares (13,500 acres).
Around one million tonnes of peat is used annually.
The peat fire they burn in the protest a fraction of what is burnt every minute at the plant,not a contradiction but a statement.
Why when involved in such an action do people feel the need to mask up?
The action is great and one to be proud of, so why if people are prepared to get involved in the action do people feel the need to mask up? To me it takes from things.
Other than that keep on keepin on!
'Sure you can tell the kids nawthin''. Then I copped myself on. 'Who am I to be telling the kids anything!' Mask on, action on, my lovely friends!
"Damage to peat bogs is now producing the equivalent of over a tenth of total global fossil-fuel emissions."
This is a truly frightening statistic. A practical campaigning point: it would be useful if the source could be added, or given, as it's always useful to have that sort of info when arguing in local campaigns.
Even though the video has been removed, its greatly good to be reminded of the worth it was.... :-)
