It's 8am, it's freezing cold and I'm about to dump a lorry load of coal on the doorstep of the Prime Minister.

They're hoping I'll help them score massive publicity coup - one that will embarrass a government breaking its promises over climate change. What they don't know, however, is that I'm a double agent.. And if everything goes to plan they're walking into a trap - one of my making.When ex-Paratrooper and policeman Ross Slater took on a close protection security job for Greenpeace he got more than he bargained for.
