dorlomin Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 It will make zero impact on peoples attitudes towards climate change, either for or against. Decarbonising the economy is a difficult, long term and complex task that will largely be the work of the civil service as it comes up with impact assessments as new government policies are pushed through the system to ensure each policy meets our legal commitments under the 2008 Climate Change Act. Boring and full of details. This is where the real heavy lifting in decrabonisation will take place. These cunning stunts are more like streakers at football. They get the attention they so desperately crave and no one will remember they existed or what they were protesting in a couple of weeks time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Graham's Road is a major thoroughfare in Falkirk, and if it's partially blocked that's all that's needed to stop emergency service vehicles getting through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 We should humour them and send them as a delegation to saudi to ask nicely to turn the taps off. Also give them a tin of spam and a map to the Kabbah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Love the way they whip off their jackets to reveal the just stop oil T-shirts as if it isn’t plainly obvious just by looking at them they are hippies.

ICTChris Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I think this is the relevant thread for this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c880xjx54mpo Five environmental activists who disrupted the M25 for several days have been given prison sentences, some of the longest for non-violent protest in British history. Roger Hallam was sentenced to five years while four others received four year jail terms. Sentencing them the judge said that the five had "crossed the line from concerned campaigner to fanatic". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yet, nobody has been jailed for Grenfell. It's worth noting that the new laws under which they have been jailed were dreamed up by a Tory think tank which was funded by.............you guessed it, oil companies. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
