This sab­o­tage is one of many recent attacks against coal and coal min­ing, and it should be clear that these actions will con­tin­ue regard­less of the exis­tence of Main­shill Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp.

This action was tak­en by a group of autonomous peo­ple in sol­i­dar­i­ty with all those who oppose the devel­op­ment of Main­shill Wood into an open cast coal mine.
