You misunderstand me, Grey Fox. SHELL should be taking the ROI to the EU courts, for failure to deliver. These farmers never should have been evicted. As the property is rightfully theirs, they have every right to resist construction projects begun by a 3rd party to whom they have not given permission. Shell should thank it's lucky stars none of their construction workers got hurt.

Let me put it in plain English... the farmers have every right to do whatever they need to to block any unauthorized use of their land (assuming they actually OWN the land and aren't tenant farmers to the government that is). Just because a bunch of charlatans at the Dail (sp?) told Shell they could have the land, doesn't mean Shell has the right to just go in and start building. As for this judge, it sounds like he should be removed from the bench.
