It may well be an ego trip. They probably weren’t aware of the consequences of their stunt.

Some good news to report.

Game on.

If they disrupt football, we may see scenes like this

They do themselves no favours at Just Stop Oil. If you are to be interviewed by a confrontational prat like Piers Morgan, don’t send on hysterics that can’t handle such interviewers. Completely cringe worthy viewing from all parties. https://watch.talk.tv/watch/replay/51797856

That is fine. Enjoy. I too live very well. I am more than happy to replace my fossil fuel car when electric cars are a better value for money and meet my requirements with range. Not sure I am willing to give up meat and air travel though. But if enough other people are willing, then I wont...

No idea. Hence I was asking the question. A frequent flyer taking four £50 return short-haul flights per year, are they worse than a person who takes one first class long-haul flight per year?

So the wealthy can fly as often as they want, but the plebs have restrictions placed on them?

Out of season you can fly to Alicante and have a couple of weeks in Benidorm for a couple of hundred quid. How many Romanians and Poles on minimum wage working in abbatoirs or car washes, or care homes fly home to visit family 3-4 times a year using £50 Ryanair or Wizzair flights? They are...

That is right. The public hasn’t agreed to give up car ownership, foreign travel, general consumption or any of the all manner of things provided by fossil fuels. We are a long way off affordable and practical electric cars, affordable and effective heat pumps and lower emission shipping and...

We should drill for North Sea Oil, use it for the UK. Not for exports. No more rising oil prices when OPEC reduce output. No more issues with rising inflation. Affordable energy for all in the UK whilst we spend the next few decades transitioning away from fossil fuel use. The UK needs to be...

They’ve had plenty of that though, nothing really changes. So why do most people eat meat every day? Does it have something to do with taste and enjoyment of food? Or do people think a balanced diet is best for their own health?

That happened in 1913 though. A long time before votes for woman came along.

Motorways are not always gridlocked though. Most of the time, they flow well. Yes accidents, road works and rush hour, make journey times slower, but this is not the same as blocking a road.

Interesting that they like to scrounge as well. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/just-stop-oil-activist-disrupted-snooker-offers-protest-services-online/

They also like to litter the countryside with plastic

It wasn’t a Tarquin this time, it was an Edred. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11983075/Just-Stop-Oil-protester-demonstrating-snooker-student-glued-Manchester-painting.html

So they are aiming to lose even more public support?

They have said they are ceasing public disruption given that ovee 5 years, it hasn’t worked. They have not gained public support and were no nearer reaching any of their goals. They will now try new tactics.

That’ll sort out climate change wil it? It doesn’t matter that electric cars will be unafforable to so many. You make no reference to dietry changes or reductions in international air travel, so people wont have to sacrifice the diets they enjoy or reduce international travel? With all your...
