Actor Jude Law and musician Damon Albarn have joined around 800 people protesting outside the Russian Embassy in London over the arrest of 30 Greenpeace activists.

The pair, along with Paul Simonon from The Clash, have called the arrests a disgrace and described them as a personal blow as their friend Frank Hewetson is among those being held.

Relatives of the activists have also organised several protests across the country for the six Britons who are in custody, and a further 47 demonstrations are being held around the world.

I’m sure Putin cares.

When forced to side with Vlad or worthless showbiz punks I’ll take Vlad.

[RightGeek]

Pirates should walk the plank.

If anyone is thinking of doing a Phil Collins biography, Jude Law looks ready.

I guess the UK has its own “A-list” that doesn’t correspond to ours ...

[max americana]

Oh these celebritards. I’ll bet Jude Law is so sad about these leeches. Well, he can go back to his yacht by tomorrow morning once his rich white guilt has subsided.

[Irenic]

They should protest in Russia. :)

Hee hee - i knew this would come in handy ...

"I guess Greenpeace got lulled into complacency by the fearful water cannons of the Japanese and the mild penalties which were formerly the price their protests. They didn’t count on the Russians who don’t seem to care too much about their NGO and environmental activist credentials. It’s interesting to read the comments on some sites by outraged Belgians or New Zealanders proclaiming their indignation against “outlaw Russia”.

But they miss the point. Who’s going to stop Russia from doing what it wants? Will it be the Belgian Navy? Or the New Zealand Navy? Or the United Nations?

The great thing about the late Tom Clancy, who recently died at the age of 66, was that he reminded a cynical liberal American and European audience just what exactly stood between the world and countries like Russia.

The Navy.

To be more precise the United States Navy."

play stooopid games, win stooopid prizes...

[Venturer]

I don’t know why most of these people haven’t been shot by the people they harass.

When you forcibly board someone else’s property, your actions cease being a protest and become a criminal act. Their actions are piracy and the Russians are treating them as such. They lost 15 years of their lives and the boat. Hope that fat captain visits you often in the gulag.

Mess(bull) = Get(horns)

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Why should the U.S. want to stop the Russians from arresting pirates?

[AppyPappy]

Liberals protesting Russia #thingsithoughtiwouldneversee

Look at me ... I'm outraged.

[Liberty Valance]

Exactly.

Some effete jaded rich throw a fouh protest as excuse to party down in old London town.

Good, they are locked up and not begging outside of grocery stores.
