Benjamin_Nevis Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I was pretty much in the "don't really give a shite" camp, but on observing that these folk seems to be riling a few of the forum's gammony moonhowlers, may their glue hold fast. Also LOLz aplenty at the tough guy inking them in full knowledge that none of them would do anything about it. Proper alpha male stuff right there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just say you don't like them you don't have to keep inventing situations in your head to justify why their peaceful protest boils your piss so much pal Are you omnipotent? How do you know how many people were mildly inconvenienced and how many were affected more seriously? I disagree with their actions. If it comes down to like/dislike, then yes, I dislike their actions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume they’re hoping to achieve their stated goals of getting the U.K. government to: Fully fund and take responsibility for the insulation of all social housing in Britain by 2025 Produce within four months a legally-binding national plan to fund and take responsibility for the full insulation retrofit, with no externalised costs, of all homes in Britain by 2030 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I wish they would go and block the car park entrance at the Falkirk Stadium so our shower of malingering c***s on the board couldn't get in.Block the gates so the fans can't get in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'm not omnipotent, but if I was going to try and be all teary eyed about how vital healthcare procedures are not being carried out due to some pensioners gorilla gluing themselves to an off ramp of the M25 I'd at least have some evidence to hand. Otherwise I'd be making a piss poor, hysterical argument that only showed my politics and priorities are quite bizarre. But that's just me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I’m probably spectacularly missing the point here, but if it’s only mildly inconveniencing the general public, then what’s the point? If we’ve learned anything over the last 5 years (at the very least), it’s that those who can affect meaningful change don’t give a flying f**k about whether or not anything influences the general public. Wouldn't the protesters be better off majorly inconveniencing those that can actually do something about what they’re trying to effect? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I’m not a roving reporter in London, going along the queue of cars, vans, lorries…ambulances, and asking for their stories. In keeping with the Sainsbury’s dirty protest suggestions earlier in this thread, I am interested in seeing London motorists taking the pissing on them anti-protest. That’s taking things up a notch from ink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Tbf there is no excuse to be driving about London unless you're a courier or need equipment to do your job, you'd be quicker getting public transport as opposed to Edinburgh were a 30 minute drive can be 2 hours on public transport. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Grenfell was a massive scorched landmark over London's most affluent borough and the council made it look nice before it gets pulled down, wasting money rather than spending it on taking down similar dangerous cladding which the Government gave the go ahead. The government don't give two fucks no idea how you get them to move on an issue, hit their pockets but that's easier said than done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't the protesters be better off majorly inconveniencing those that can actually do something about what they’re trying to effect?I feel this way often but dismissing folk who are unable to make a big splash under modern capitalism ignores that we are all atomised and cut off from any actual ability to make a substantial impact on the world. If they’re pissing folk off and making the national press then tbh good for them. I’ve did plenty of protesting and it’s managed pretty much f**k all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
