However, the group do feel that they achieved what they set out to do, saying: "It was all about turning the focus on to Amazon, using that disruption across the country to push Amazon up the news, and get people talking about them and their exploitative practices both in terms of the natural world and on people. And that's likely because the police forces in those areas either don't have the specialist kit that Bristol police have, they couldn't get it that soon, or they were using more complex devices like those bamboo structures."
