SUV bosses "climate criminals": Greenpeace

"Environmental activists stormed car dealerships in seven cities yesterday, handcuffing themselves to Land Rovers and 4x4s in a protest against 'gas-guzzling cars'.

"The campaigners from Greenpeace also held demonstrations outside a further 30 car dealerships during a 'national day of action' against the 4x4. Among them was the group's director, Stephen Tindale. The former diplomat and New Labour adviser is still on police bail after helping to storm the Land Rover plant in Solihull last month, when 30 volunteers briefly halted production.

"Branding Land Rover bosses as 'climate criminals', Mr Tindale said: 'We've taken direct action today to stop Land Rover selling these climate-wrecking cars.'"
