Climate Activists

Should have thought about this, before breaking the law. No doubt some numpties will contribute to this idiots 'begging bowl'.

I shall be giving nothing, in light of him knowing the consequences, plus his family being worth a few quid. Why isn't his sister tapping them for the money?

(co2 emissions per person)

Carbon Footprint by Country 2022

Where is the UK in this list?

Why are these protesters not going to China, the U.S, India, Russia, Japan, or Iran to make their point?

China produces 11.6 billion tons of co2 annually!

They insist on making our lives hell, when the UK is not even a top contributor to co2 emissions worldwide.

Therefore they can just F*** off with their disruptive tactics and blatant criminal activities.

The UK Produces around 341.5 Mt (Megatons) annually. Far less than the likes of Germany.

Tbf this is a horrific tory government decision that’s a massive encroachment upon our civil liberties that we should all be super disturbed by (whether or not we paint buildings orange in our spare time) but you’re right, it’ll gain support from MPs and their constituents because of these protests. But what’s the alternative? Let the world burn? These ppl are on the right side of history.

"The right side of history". Interesting concept because only history will determine who is the right side. And future history is as yet unwritten. In a modern context the Emporer Valens did the right thing by letting fleeing Gothic tribes settle within the Roman Empire. In effect making the first grant if asylum. 40 years later as Alaric King of the Goths sacked Rome I suspect that the civilians being put to the sword would find scant consolation with the thought that Valens did the right thing.

Lenin did the right thing when he reorganized Russian society to correct the eyewatering inequalities. Are you arguing therefore that the horrors and human rights abuses that emerged from Lenin's creation, the Soviet Union, was the right side of history?

And if you want to argue that this was a long time ago and the world has now moved on to a more spiritual plane then I would suggest that there are approximately 40 million Ukrainians who may disagree with you.

But anyhow to answer your question what should they do? The next election is two years away, possibly much sooner. Organize, form a political party, take your arguments to the people and try to gain power, and hence change policy, by electoral and legal means. Surely if their arguments are so compelling and science based we are talking about a XR/JSO alliance landslide victory? Right? After all isn't "by any means necessary" part of their mantra? Surely that must include legal means....

Notice the ones who block motorways and march in London all go pretty damn quiet during the wintery months and when the weather is poor in general!

Maybe they are solar powered

 

[emmer_moans]

I'm absolutely raging about those JSO orange cunts spraying paint on stone henge
When are these morons going to face punishment for their moronic acts of vandalism.

I hope the police actually charge them this time. They've been turning a blind eye so far.

This 100%. Let’s face it Qatar got the World Cup due to the liberal circulation of brown envelopes (allegedly) and I see almost zero legacy from this. Does a country that size need eight hi tech stadiums after the tournament? Even if football, for which they have zero history and previously little discernible interest, “takes off”.

I bet that stadium will go to ruins after the World cup is over, just like all those newly built stadiums disintegrated in Brazil after the WC there and many of the Olympic games sites in China are also in shambles. I'm rather sure read that there already are problems in Qatar with the stadium, but can't remember where (something about the extreme heat plus sandstorms affecting the materials). I don't doubt one second the brown envelopes, why ever would there be a football game there? Frankly, I hope it turns out to be shite, to prove a point. That's obviously terrible for the people actually playing but maybe it'll solve this problem in the longer run.

I've come to the conclusion that the government is tolerating these loons (and has instructed the police to basically do very little about them) to distract us from something. It's inconceivable that there aren't already numerous legal approaches that can tacklle people disrupting major roads and motorways, or endangering themselves and others.

I think it's deliberate that they're being allowed to continue and it's to distract us from the governments disastrous handling of immigration, and covid/healthcare.

A woman who had taken her dying mother and as a treat took her and paid for a night in a posh hotel and spent a LOT of money on travel etc, all ruined.
No words.

How come security were so slow to react and how come there cameras all set up on tripods?

Sadly, I'm beginning to think the snails pace reaction by the museum's " security " and the leniency by the courts ( some of the bastards aren't even charged or they escape conviction ! ) is leading me to believe they're in on it.

I’d love to see a climate activist take their protests to The Middle East or China.

The Middle East would be interesting, but they'd give China a miss. After all, the CCP is one of their masters.

 

[Ensay]

I saw they were breaking windows at a bank yesterday... so daring.

They really are putting off the public with their daft actions.

 

[emmer_moans]

I'm going to hell for laughing.

Do they not think how they're going to get unstuck?

A lot of them are hypocrites… the George Osborne protester recently went on a long haul flight to Thailand, a trip many of us could never afford or contribute to that much fuel being used…

Get the fire brigade out to hose em down

I agree, there's something strangely robotic about her.

Why isn't she doing what normal teenage girls do, like hanging around parks drinking strong cider and getting fingered by boys?

ah, what we all wish for our kids when they’re growing up
Don’t worry about the environment, let the local scank have his way with you behind the community football grounds

I think she might be autistic right? So it could be why she’s seems so distant and sternly when speaking.
But that aside she’s just such a judgmental, condescending snarky child.

I’m like “you’re 8 and you wanted a few days off school to protest shut up and sit down ffs”

 

[NeverEnough]

The company I worked with years ago had Greenpeace protesters chain themselves to railings high up on one of their vessels. They left them overnight until they got cold and hungry (and had pissed themselves).

For the cause we must all make sacrifices…..

 

[Piff paff puff]

The arrogance of them is unreal. They don't care about the planet they just want to make rich people poor. Absolute morons.

 

[Em_gardener]

Why didn't the security guard remove them? How are they allowed to inconvenience people like this? Imagine having the nerve as a young man to try and stop an oap from getting her shopping. Prick.

 

[HockyRorror]

One of the mens home address is being circulated on SM, this is so wrong

Why? In case anybody throws soup or milk over his doors and windows?

 

[no-no]

Every time I see an interview with one of them, when asked, the spokesperson is never vegan. Latching on to veganism when you can bet most are “flexitari-ahhhn” at best. It really pisses me off to see any food wasted, I deplore the dairy industry but it feels like a double whammy to waste the milk. Same with eggs on mischief night, all that suffering for what. These ‘protests’ are never what meets the eye.

 

[neroli]

"Passionate about social justice" equals someone searching for a "cause" to bang on about. Endlessly. To fill the hours which would otherwise be empty.

 

[Margo_Channing]

I think alot of them are suffering from brain rot but the upper middle class kind
