[Politics] No point crying over spilt milk?

[Green Cross Code Man]

Much like the protestors and the Van Gogh, now 'they' are after our milk.

The young lad with the sign didn't look entirely happy to be there.

Probably on a promise.

And wondering if it's worth it.

Yep, that's really saving the planet, that is ..........................

Was about to write exactly that

I love the way he was edging away, I’m not sure he’s 100% committed to the cause.

 

[portlock seagull]

store security are good aren’t they, standing and watching. It’s not illegal to grab someone in the act of a crime. Regardless, it must be very empowering to know you’ve made such an important contribution to the world wasting a few pints of milk. That’ll learn ‘em!

I don't remember Van Gogh being after my milk. I very rarely have any in the fridge anyway so maybe I didn't notice.

Citizens arrest using reasonable force where you happen to slip over dragging their pathetic little faces through the mess should do it.

'Other democratic means don't work. We've tried voting. We've tried writing petitions'.

Fair play for taking some direct action. However, perhaps we just have to accept a slow Revolution on this one. I remember 30 years ago when The Vegan Society hq was here in Hastings (since been knocked down along with the rest of that row of terraced housing to make way for an Asda). Back then most people had rarely heard of Veganism. Now the term is commonplace and more popular than ever before.

Times are changing. Not fast enough, and not always for the better, but many things are certainly heading in a kinder direction.

Strange protest when Waitrose do sell vegan milk.
The cows have already given their milk, the calves already separated from the mothers.

 

[Happy Exile]

I'd be interested to understand what echo chamber they inhabit that makes them think this might have any kind of positive impact. On (recycled) paper I should probably be sympathetic - lefty liberal, Guardian reading, have voted Green, don't find muesli offensive, have a beard - but they somehow manage to be very difficult to find any atom of sympathy with.

 

[dolphins]

It's a very strange tactic, surely... waste milk so they need even more... like protesting fossil fuel by having your engine running!

On an unrelated note, is there a sexier accent on a female than Scottish?

 

[brightn'ove]

Oh my god

The smell of that the next day

Err.

Yes. French by a country mile.

Wee Krankie or Nicola Sturgeon?

You DO realise that I have done something in a Supermarket which I have put on the internet so that makes it very important?
