That is true, it can feel futile. However, the more we change, the more those around us change, the bigger the impact. Take the programme last night regarding cows and lambs, we've not become vegetarian overnight, but we have massively cut down on buying beef or lamb in particular, and have...
Isn't that what a protest is supposed to do? Should the Suffragettes have gone about their protests so as not to disrupt anyone? What about civil rights? What about all the EDL, UKIP, LeaveEU, FootballLADS marches, I don't remember you saying they were patronising for their disruption? Is it...
So simplistic a view when the evidence points to man made activities creating this change. And yes the earth has gone through cycles but also gone through mass extinctions - best not to cause one of those ourselves really.
Where I'm at, and the reason I'm defending and celebrating yesterday but picking up on so many posts, is because I no longer have that fresh innocent outlook on life, that naivety about the world, they've got their mistakes to make, their own actions to regret or to embrace. It would no doubt...
I was thinking of Cat Stevens, the father thinking he can tell his son he’s already made the mistakes so don’t rush off, the son knowing he has to find his own path and make his own mistakes.
If you read into the reasons, it’s more complicated than you think, and less simple than just calling a billion people ignorant. Ignorance is not knowing enough about something q.e.d.
Snarling righteousness or balanced opinion. You’re the one not knowing whether to laugh or cry, evidently unable to comprehend people might actually think differently to you - thank goodness.
There would have been nothing of the sort without the damning cynicism. Total hypocrisy not to see this thread only erupted because a load of grumpy bores. Reading your own insightful comments, I’d suggesting crying would suit you. :thumbsup:
I’ve not made any issue of anyone’s decision to or not to protest. I’m no calling out those that did as being pampered 4x4 driven kids, and I’m not coming out with loads of stats 90% this or whatever. Kids bunking off to go home is no aspersion on the kids that protested either. Just because you...
Where in all that have I even remotely said or even implied you were a Tory? How mad is that? Where on earth have you got that from. Bizarre.
Secondly, I'm not being pedantic, you said the Greens were responsible for the i360, I am merely pointing out that all they were responsible for is a...
No, sorry, all that work was all permitted and proposed before JK took control. You said the Greens were responsible for the i360, they weren't. Yes, it was a Green led minority council when they were asked to help fund the scheme when it got into trouble, which required voting support from the...
How would any major renewable infra-structure be down to the Greens?
The i360 was conceived and submitted for planning in 2006, LA then minority led by Labour. Work on the sections started in 2008, then minority led by Tories. It was well under way by the time the Greens led the minority...
You asked why it wasn't done at the weekend, of course the point is that a strike and/or protest is undertaken for the maximum impact / coverage.
Schools were told this was happening in advance, and all were able to prepare. Kids, as I understood it, signed out of school so the schools had a...
