Pretty rough on those who live in places where public transport isn't too frequent. Workmen there can't take David Lammy's advice to take their ladders and tools onto the tube.

Not coming to Kent following the protestation and resistance from the 'Mum's old Corsa/Fiesta/other mum car' modification industry.

Untold exhaust modifiers, racing stripe painters and spoiler designers would go out of business!

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Just Stop Oil. They've already messed with Wimbledon.
I'm actually thinking these 'protesters' have mental deficiencies, which are being exploited for political/monetary purposes.

The biggie on the horizon is the Silverstone GP this weekend. The circuit already suggesting someone might be killed or injured if people aren't careful.
I can't see Just Stop Oil resisting this very high-profile target of fossil fuel burning. It might liven up an other-wise dull race by having a few protesters trying to avoid being made into jam puddles.

Seemingly very many of those kids having TRANS operations also have Neurodiversity issues. It makes you wonder about the dodgy opinion-leaders pushing this.

 


Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

The media need to stop reporting them. Treat them as idiot football fans who run onto the pitch. Cut away the cameras and dont report them.

Slap on the wrist punishments are no deterrent, this is a manifestation of the social media " look at me " mentality now pervasive globally.


 


Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

I think that certainly plays a significant part for Just Stop Oil protesters. Does anyone recall one of the first media-highlighted protester, the one who stood in front of tanks in Tiananmen Square in 1989 ?
The amount of people who go to events, not really to enjoy/participate in the experience, as to get a 'selfie' in the riots, or at a Wembley Final etc. That 15 minutes of fame, however misguided, in the case of these protesters, or eco-warrior 'Top Trumps'.

They don't know for sure but it is believed he died. Estimates as to how many protestors did die range from 2000-10,000.

All due respect but I think it is insulting to include those brave people with a story about a bunch of white middle class yobs who protest as long as they can be home for tea.

I dare them to hijack Rememberance Sunday at the Cenotaph. One of the clowns on Monday referred to further oil production leading to war (and famine, disease, plague of locusts etc.), so perfect segueing there.

Their aims are flawed. They want the UK to stop new production of gas and oil without considering where we will have to then buy it from. i.e. Countries with far less concerns for the environment than us.

I've been saying for 20 years that the biggest issue is methane and now at last they have started to admit that. I've also been saying that population growth is also the issue.

Scary fact. It took 30,000 years for the human population to hit 1 billion, in approx the year 1800. In the last 12 years the population has INCREASED by 1 billion!!!!!

There are 1000's of sites around the world releasing methane into the atmosphere that could be plugged. Russia has allowed one to release billions of tons since the 70's after a failed oil drill.

They tried setting fire to it in the mid 80's thinking it would burn off in a few years. Its still burning and is now a tourist attraction!!!!!!!

Just one of these sites releases the equivalent of 67 million cars GHG's into the atmosphere.

If they were all to be plugged it would reduce the worlds temp by 0.3 degrees.

Rather than focusing on unachievable aims they should be highlighting facts like these and pressing for solutions.

They are what I call professional protesters.

CND, High speed rail, insulate Britain, climate change, just stop oil etc etc. When they give up on this one they will move on to the next.

Well here's a suprise(not), Dale Vince who is the chairman of Forest Green Rovers is a main backer/money man for Just Stop Oil idiots, who'd of thought it.

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.
