UK Moonbattery Wearing Out Its Welcome

This is priceless:
Times Online reports that a bevy of Greenpeace activists launched an attack on the International Petroleum Exchange, armed with foghorns, whistles, and rape alarms with which they hoped to paralyze oil trading, some of which is conducted by the "open outcry" method.
The traders sensibly responded by beating the daylights out of them and throwing them back out onto the street, where the police arrested at least 27 of them. Two of the kooks ended up in the hospital.
"I've never seen anyone less amenable to listening to our point of view," one tree-hugger whined as he rubbed his bruised skull.
For some insightful (and side-splitting) analysis of this event, check out The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler here and here.
Elsewhere in merry olde England, fox-hunters are ready to test the politically correct new ban on their sport, which is of course not only a sport but part of England's heritage. Activists who have turned out to protest the hunts have not been well received. According to This Is London, one anti-hunt activist "was left covered in blood after clashes when saboteurs tried to disrupt the Chiddingfold, Leconfield and Cowdray hunt near Petworth in Sussex." Another ended up with a broken jaw.
If moonbats are going to insist on causing physical disruptions, they should hardly be surprised by a physical response. It's nice to be reminded that Britain still has some fighting spirit.
