Insulate Britain protests are purely symbolic to drive publicity. Still no match for Vote Leave in creating chaos...

Insulate Britain protests
- Thread starter Billy the Fish
- Start date
Juries are expected to act on the weight of evidence, not of their own personal convictions. Have you ever watched "12 Angry Men"?

He doesn't care, he has a letter from the Department of Transport offering him a position as an HGV driver....

He deserves a medal. Hopefully this example will be followed at all of their protests . They think illegal direct action stopping emergency services doing their job is fine so can't really complain when direct action is visited upon them.

Be interesting to see if we get any meat on the bones this week at the Tory party conference on their net zero plans. So far a lot of the usual rhetoric and not much action.
I notice they banned the CEO of the UK's largest Renewable energy supplier from entry in Manchester, clearly don't want anyone to create any waves.

The silent majority are getting the hump now, time to start getting busy with these soap dodgers.

Insulate Britain have warned motorists not to use the M25 on Wednesday and have declared the motorway “a site of nonviolent civil resistance”.
The campaign group, an offshoot of Extinction Rebellion, has asked that if drivers do use the road they reduce their speed to 20mph.
They said: “Starting from 7:00 on the morning of Wednesday October 27, the M25 will become a place of nonviolent civil resilience to stop our Government committing crimes against humanity.
“We ask that: People do not use the M25, and if they do, speeds are reduced to 20mph to minimise the risk of accidents.”
Insulate Britain also called on the Highway Agency to enforce the 20mph speed limit it had set and asked the police to “refuse to arrest us”.

"One member of Insulate Britain, Suzie, 47, from Cambridge, said: "If going to prison and losing my home is what it takes to get the government to do the right thing and cut our carbon emissions then it's a price worth paying."
That's as stupid as saying you can grow concrete, to me.

Before calling these people soap dodgers & lazy c*nts perhaps people need to look at the profiles of the people involved, many are older retired professional people who feel that climate change is a reality and needs to be reversed and one part of that is ensuring our homes are better insulated so that we use less power and generate less carbon dioxide.
I see comments about some of the unfortunate outcomes of the action e.g. the lady who had the stroke , I can't agree that outcome as acceptable nor what Richard Hallon said about the ambulance but equally when I hear the false sympathy from people who have supported this government when 120k+ people have died of COVID, many unnecessarily it puts it into perspective.
PPF posted a link to Farage talking about it, further down that link is an image of a retired doctor who was sprayed with ink this morning, below that there is a comment 'shame it wasn't battery acid'.
People might want to take a step back and reassess their thoughts and words, ask yourself the question do you believe that climate change is happening ? If you do and if you believe the problem needs to be solved sooner rather than later that protesting and getting maximum impact from that protest is important. This protest has achieved that it will now depend on government reaction and the spin put on it and what is view people take from it.
So let's go back to why is it happening , not what is happening . If the government took climate change seriously then there would be no need to protest.
Personally I want my grand child children and their children to live in a healthier world and part of that means reverting climate change.
The choice is yours.

your last sentence blows the rest of your post out of the water ......if you have 3 kids , they each have 2 kids that is a net growth of 2 to 9 in 2 generations , say 30 years , along with your kids partner so half that to a net growth of 4.5 per family over the next 35 yrs .....in 35 yrs we have a global population of at lest 21 billion ......that is just not serviceable , it's the elephant in the room , the damage will be done in Asia , Indonesia and Africa .....not on the bloody M25 FFS....!!!
