KILL the Bill protestors are threatening a mass trespass of the G7 summit site in Carbis Bay on Saturday.

Kill the Bill Cornwall are calling for the mass trespass at the Carbis Bay Hotel on April 17 at 1.30pm as part of a national 'Day of Action'.

Under the header 'Mass Trespass at Carbis Bay! Kill the Bill! Smash the G7! Stop the destruction" the group says:

"17 April is the next national day of action. So Kill the Bill is upping the momentum and organising a mass trespass to oppose the bill and to protest against the destruction of our beautiful coastline to build meeting rooms for the G7."

They claim that the provisions of the Police, Crime and Sentencing Bill will criminalise trespass which will stop setting up of camps and resisting the destruction of communities.

They say they are targetting The Carbis Bay Hotel because of work they say has been carried out by the hotel in connection with the G7 conference that will be taking place in June.

World leaders including the American president Joe Biden and French president Emanuel Macron will be flying into the county to discuss a variety of topics including the climate crisis.

"What is happening right now in Carbis Bay is a microcosm of everything that is wrong with the G7," the group says in its post. "It is an elite setting the agenda to benefit the 1 per cent while the world burns. It won't benefit Cornwall."

The Government has said the measures proposed in the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill will allow police to take a more proactive approach in managing highly disruptive protests.

A Home Office spokesperson said: “The right to protest is a cornerstone of our democracy and the Government is absolutely committed to maintaining freedom of expression.

“But protesters who use disruptive and dangerous tactics – whether gluing themselves to train carriages or blocking traffic, including emergency vehicles – cannot be permitted to trample on the rights of local businesses and communities.

“These new measures will not stop people from carrying out their civic right to protest and be heard, but prevent misery to the public and the loss of millions of pounds to the taxpayer and businesses at the same time.”

Both Carbis Bay Hotel and Devon and Cornwall Police have been asked for a comment.
