#2 "A Spanish protester put herself on the line by being bolted to the anchor chain of the peace vessel."

I don't see the problem here. Surely, as big and powerful as a cargo ship's anchor winch must be, they should have been able to winch up the chain with the protester attached.

Bit messy, sure, but easily washed off....

#3 Sounds like the Kiwi Kops in Helengrad could use some help from the French Navy.

Oh wait a minute.....

Nah, far simpler to lower the anchor chain, either he comes loose or feeds the fish, no mess.
