#jon castle

Captain Jonathan Graham Castle, seaman and activist, 

(7 December 1950 - 11 January 2018)

The seaman Jon Castle, led many of Greenpeace’s most dramatic marine campaigns, including the occupation of the Brent Spar oil platform and the opposition to nuclear testing.

After 25 years with Greenpeace he turned his skills to wider humanitarian causes, including rescuing refugees in the Mediterranean and sailing to the Chagos Islands in protest at the British refusal to allow people to return to their homeland following their eviction to allow the US to build a military base. 

I think the most amazing thing I learnt from this chat with (totally adorable) Cub Sport lead singer Tim Nelson is that there is such thing as a McDonalds burger WITHOUT THE BUN.
