"While we would like it if everyone adopted a vegan diet, we don't believe in imposing ways of life on to people. But information should be given and policies considered that could encourage people to change, possibly including increased taxes on the production and consumption of animal products."

Right, i'm going down there and i'm going to shoot them. Frankly they're wasting my oxygen.

I'd be interested to know how these people are getting around - I assume they aren't cycling up to London from Kent? I'd be interested to know where their clothes were made, and where they shopped for food. Mainly I'd be interested to know how, seeing as none of them seem to hold down a job, where their money for these jaunts around the country is coming from?

Waste of oxygen is too kind.

Daddy. Who is probably a merchant banker.

These people get all idealised at university then end up working in the city by the time they're 30.

I suspect they work in local government non-jobs for a few hours a week, for which they earn £30K pa. 'Head of Ethics Diversity Implementation Strategy Assistant' or similar.

Seems harmless enough. I don't see the problem with people venting in public - just like the P&P really.

Only 18%? Smoke me a kipper then...

In a pre-written statement, Clare Whitney, one of the activists, said: "An animal-based diet is no longer sustainable with climate change threatening the planet, its ecosystems, and the people who depend on them,"

rofl

So management bullsh!t bingo has been replaced by ecoclaptrap bullsh!t bingo and Clare sure got herself a line

What odds the daft bint has never even seen the bogus Wackernagel sustainability crap.

Simpo you need to add 'outreach' in somewhere to that intuitively accurate job title...

that distant sound is the noise made by PH True Believers dashing off for a quick Google

We are being taxed silly and restricted more than ever as a result of this ecob0ll0x, time for these submarxists to fcensoredk off to a commune somewhere else.

EFA. The village would be less entertaining without the idiots, it's just a shame that those in power feel the need to humour them.

From what I've read, Gordo couldn't give a flying f***k about climate change, it's just an excuse to raise taxes to meet his real agenda.

If this was 3 years ago, i probably would have, but i'm a 'reformed' person now. It wouldn't be a wise idea.
