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.

Thanks for the reminder. I’d forgotten that. Yes, the Kiwis were pretty unhappy.

Jude Law probably never wishes he had played Vassily Zaitsev, then.

Great point. I wonder if Jude realizes what kind of influence he had in selling thousands of Mosin-Nagants in the West after 'Enemy at the Gates'.

The pirates should be tried and hung quickly as in the old days, preferably from a real yardarm (or a davit) on their own ship to put a fine point on it.
