ENVIRONMENTAL PROTESTS CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS
Over the years, members of the Warband have been involved in many environmental campaigns, such as fighting the Newbury bypass, assisting with Titmore woods and many other high profile campaigns. At this time, our energies are pooled together for the Bones Picket at Stonehenge. However, this does not mean that the Warband are not involved in other environmental campaigns. Eco-warriors never stop caring about our lands, it’s sacred sites and places we treasure. We can’t be everywhere at once but with the introduction of the world wide web, we are now able to communicate and network more freely with many who are still active in eco-battles. Facebook is an essential tool for such communications, most green camps have their own groups and followers, it is through this media we can spread the word about upcoming protests, green camps and pool other resources towards these campaigns. We can’t be everywhere physically but we our voice reaches far and wide. If we can’t be there, we know someone who can.
Listed below are current environmental issues. If you can’t be front-line, then join the ranks behind by writing letters to your MP and raising awareness by spreading the word. Even one person can make a difference–you could be that person.

UK BADGER CULL
Dr Brian May CBE Team Badger website and many other organisations (listed on Brian's website) are backing the campaign to stop the badger cull. For decades now, the government have tried to pass this Bill, they have now succeeded. There is NO scientific proof that badgers pass on the TB virus to cattle. Infact, the cull will cause the TB rate to increase. It is utter madness, sign the PETITION now to stop the cull. There are several petitions active - please sign them all. The more the merrier.
There is a farmer who has reduced TB to almost zero on his farm by giving badgers vitamin cakes - read the article here
There are better ways to eradicate bovine TB - culling thousands badgers is not one of them. Join the campaign - stop the cull.

BRIAN HAW
On 2 June 2001, he began camping in Parliament Square in central London in a one-man political protest against war and foreign policy (initially, the sanctions against Iraq). By his own account, he was first inspired to take up his vigil after seeing the images and information produced by the Mariam Appeal, an anti-sanctions campaign. Haw justifies his campaign on a need to improve his children's future. He only leaves his makeshift campsite in order to attend court hearings, surviving on food brought by supporters. Support for Haw's protest has come from former Labour cabinet minister Tony Benn and activist/comedian Mark Thomas.
Brian Haw has been campaigning outside Parliament since 2nd June 2001 coming up to his tenth year! Living rough and surviving on generous donations from his supporters, Brian has only left to attend court dates. There has been raids, arrests and foul play from the Governmental bodies. Brain has stayed on the picket in all weathers, in spite of being diagnosed with cancer. That hasn’t stopped the authorities from bullying him... for the full story, please visit his website and Facebook page. Brian is currently receiving cancer treatment abroad but the Peace Camp remains strong. We respect and wish Brian the very best and support his Quest for Truth and Justice.
Brian Haw sadly passed away on 18th June 2011, after complications after surgery to treat his cancer. The Loyal Arthurian Warband are deeply saddened by this news and extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Brian was a true warrior, his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who he inspired, in those who shared his convictions and those who are deeply passionate about what they truely believe in. Be inspired - do something that counts.
Hail and farewell Brian, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you /|\

SAVE OUR FORESTS
The government is getting ready for a huge sell-off of our national forests to private firms. This could mean ancient woodlands are chopped down and destroyed. But they need to push new laws through Parliament before these plans can go ahead. That means we have time to stop them.
Sign the petition now to tell the government to “save our forests” (now closed but viewable here)
Updates on the 38 Degrees website - the government are still trying to get around this and will be back for another attempt.
