Well. I do enjoy when you get the time to do one of these more graphic bonus chapters. They're always immersive...
Your reasonable-sounding-but-vile rhetoric was very well done. You captured the tone perfectly. I appreciate "advertorial," but the real icing on the cake was the handshake photo. A black hand and a white hand clasped. For propaganda purposes, that's a great way for the Earth First people to hide their racism in a guise of inclusiveness.
Seriously, Simon, this is one hell of an effective chapter. Bravo.
Thanks, Mike! Much shorter word count in this sort of chapter, but hopefully the overall presentation and impression makes up for that.
I was also pleased with that final handshake photo. Also the knowledge that if Earth First ever achieve what they want - effectively stopping portal travel and getting rid of any migrants from the other dimensions - you just *know* they'd sooner-or-later turn their attention inwards to the next 'outsider'. The worst strategy for this kind of group is to achieve their goals, because then they can't beat the same old drum - but they can change the beat to something/someone else.

The poli-sci nerd in me is already wanting to get into an argument with these guys, and they're not even real! Well done.
