UK. September 22. 2020. Rudely awoken this morning by NET. Calvert is currently (yesterday, September 22, 2020) being evicted, support needed – Calvert Jubilee Nature Reserve, Buckingham, MK182HE.
Continue reading #STOPHS2 #UK: #Calvert Reserve Protection Camp evictedThe No TAV campaign in northern Italy has been fighting an expensive, unneeded and corrupt high speed railway link for over three decades. The proposed mafia-linked freight train service from Turin to Lyon has been repeatedly exposed for its fantastical predictions and is slated by local people who see no reason to leave their homes for a white elephant. If you are already thinking about the similarities to HS2 here in England then you are in the right place. I will start by giving a very brief history of No TAV, then an update on recent events.

It’s a slow ecological catastrophe. Instead of building better transport links in the north, HS2 construction has started in the south and the midlands. Ancient woodlands are being trashed by contractors who have ignored the nesting season for birds and used hawks illegally to clear zones.
