    Luxembourg to Amsterdam is about the same as London to Leeds, hardly a long haul. And Greenpeace is still very much active in India.

    C'mon, this is very lacklustre zealotry. Must do better. The only reason I let you have the last word on the 'Telegraph' thread was cos'it was so feeble.

    But aren't all renewable power generation projects technically unviable, massively environmentally damaging and opposed by the majority? Doesn't seem to stop the whittering about carbon emissions.

    Greenpeace gets most of its income in Euros and so enters into Forex contracts to protect its income stream. Seems someone took out a few contracts over and above his pay grade without adequate controls - a rogue trader if you will - and they went bad. He's been shown the door.

    Embarrassing, but only newsworthy 'cos its a green charity. Unless you're some kind of zealot.

    The other papers printed this story last week. The Guardian were waiting for the right moment to bury bad news.
