    That’s fine, you’re entitled to your opinion. Certainly there’s an element of risk, but I imagine that both parties operate under pseudonyms for exactly that reason.

    A point of order here, while you’re welcome to criticize my opinion, you also haven’t addressed my reasons for doubt.

      you also haven’t addressed my reasons for doubt.

      A) When did you ask me to?

      B) By pointing out the cost/benefit to both sides, I would have said that I did anyway.

      However, if you would like me to go into more detail: this is a property that was not occupied by the PM or his family - Greenpeace have stated that they were aware of this. The ‘high security’ was evidently provided by the police - who would also have been aware of this. Even at the best of times, given a little advance planning, avoiding a routine police cordon - routine being the key word - is not exactly difficult.

      I struggle to see why Greenpeace would take the route that you are suggesting (a literal conspiracy theory) and decide to take the risk of losing credibility instead of doing as they have frequently, attestably, through court records, done and evade the existing security.
