Bridges blocked in London by protesters
Discussion
I’m all for peaceful protest, but if they were to get on their high horse, and block my lawful passage to wherever I was headed, with some sort of left wing, communist style, mass protest, thus causing a disruption to my plans for the day, I should say, OI, COMMIE, CORBYNITE, SOAP DODGING, GREASY HAIRED, PALE SKINNED, JOBLESS WASTERS, NOOOOOOOOOOO. when I was a lad we was expected to drive our coal fired, steam powered, solid wheeled conveyances, for less than a guinea, not cause any pollution, and like it.

I'd say a protest that involves bringing London to grid lock is beyond pointless.... sort of reminds me of that moment in Austin Powers... you know the "1 million pounds!! whoo ha ha haaaa"
"I have an idea.....we will block the bridges and bring London to a stand still!!! whoo ha ha ha haaaa!!!"

I wonder how they all travelled to get to the demo.
I think most were not local after hearing the accents on those interviewed on tv.
I bet it was in battered old smokey vehicles by the look of some of them.
Unless daddy has bought them a tesla
More likely a Volvo xc90 a Tesla just wouldn't carry enough irony.I think most were not local after hearing the accents on those interviewed on tv.

Someone needs to treat them to a smokey burnout.
I did that to some abusive students having a sit-in (that included screaming at students with cars) on the car park to protest against the evils of carbon or something. Tyres were due to be changed on the rx8 anyway, plus the change from chanting to coughing would have been worth the expense anyway gooner1 said:

Personally I think it’s right that climate change is kept on the agenda. I guess this protest and others is just part and parcel of living in central London?
Like being stabbed and terrorism.

Interesting to compare this with the bigger and more effective protests in France to lower the tax on fossil fuels.........
Interesting as well to see how the act of protest in each case is perceived on PH.In France they want lower taxes on essential transportation fuels.
Over here we have a bunch of protesters whose goal is a unclear but would seem to end in higher taxes and/or a lower standard of living for most.

saw one of them on Sky news going on about we have had our central heating on for 50 years, because of climate change we don't need that anymore. She even said the canadians don't need it because of climate change.
Tell that to all the pensioners who die because they try and save money by not having the heating on.
She clearly hasn't spent any time in -30 degrees Canadian winters.
What a berk.
Equally, if we all turn our central heating off, won't that reduce our emissions and thus reduce climate change?Tell that to all the pensioners who die because they try and save money by not having the heating on.

Our friends from the EV forum.
Did they all walk to the protest?Or did they use transport that uses, well, fossil fuels?
I can't see them wearing natural animal skins. I guess the clothes weren't made cheaply somewhere else in the world and transported over? Using, you know, fossil fuels?
