<p>18 badasses were arrested for this action and are facing <a href="https://www.earthfirst.org.uk/actionreports/node/23900">up to life in prison under an obscure law</a>. Unlikely as that is, it&#8217;s more proof that some laws are designed explicitly to help out the railroad industry.</p>
<p>In case you were wondering <a href="http://coalaction.org.uk/?page_id=9">what&#8217;s wrong with coal</a>, our friends in the UK can explain it quite well.<a href="https://earthfirstnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/ukld3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" data-attachment-id="64" data-permalink="https://earthfirstnews.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/rising-tide-uk-blocks-coal-train-with-hand-drawn-pics/ukld3/" data-orig-file="https://earthfirstnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/ukld3.jpg" data-orig-size="763,476" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}" data-image-title="ukld3" data-image-description="" data-medium-file="https://earthfirstnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/ukld3.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://earthfirstnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/ukld3.jpg?w=763" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-64" title="ukld3" src="https://earthfirstnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/ukld3.jpg?w=300&#038;h=187" alt="" width="300" height="187" srcset="https://earthfirstnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/ukld3.jpg?w=300&amp;h=187 300w, https://earthfirstnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/ukld3.jpg?w=600&amp;h=374 600w, https://earthfirstnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/ukld3.jpg?w=150&amp;h=94 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://risingtide.org.uk/">Rising Tide UK </a> and friends are kickin&#8217; ass and takin&#8217; names. Here&#8217;s a helpful <a href="http://coalaction.org.uk/?page_id=5">map of all coal</a> activity in the UK.</p>
<p>This is <a href="http://defendhuntingtonlane.wordpress.com/">a blog from a community in Scotland</a> that is fighting coal development in their community and looking into direct action as a means to that end.</p>
<p>And in case you need yet another reason to go overseas this summer, <a href="https://www.earthfirst.org.uk/actionreports/node/23821">they&#8217;re having a massive gathering</a> that may or may not end in some direct action.</p>
