Stop Rosebank @stopcambo.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
BREAKING 🚨: reports suggest Andy Burnham could approve new oil and gas fields, including Rosebank. Is he REALLY going to cave into the demands of the profiteering oil giants and Trump? Or is he going to stand with people facing soaring bills and a worsening climate crisis?

They came for environmental protest because it was working. Research now shows how this was done and what happens next could be far worst.

Late last year, a study was released by researchers. It concluded that shutting down environmental protest is a core governing strategy. The mechanisms of repression? Introduce new laws. Leverage ant-terror or anti-organised crime laws. Increase police surveillance. Disappear and kill activists.
