I think you might be being a bit hard on Spicy, Allen.
The occupants of the Greenham camp were passionate for their cause, but they were also very aware of how they were projected and perceived. and there were plenty of them who very much played to the gallery.
I never went to the camp - it was not without its squalor, that wasn't for me. but I often met some camp dwellers at Membury Services on the M4, where they could escape from the mud, get cleaned off and have a good meal - and sit and chat to Joe Public. lovely people, but wouldn't have wanted to get on their wrong side. oh dear me no.
