I wonder where the clothes they are wearing and them fancy little signs have come from?

I wonder if they used fossil fuel based transport to get where they are.

A good solution to them gluing themselves to things would be to force feed them some laxatives. Boom! hehe

I think people will be getting tired of them now. Any message they did have will be lost as people will just see them as a nuisance.

I'd love it if the Stock Exchange had another entrance and they just went, well sod you lot, you can just do your silly glue thing until you get tired and/or hungry. Presumably these people don't carry glue thinner on them so a few nights outside in the cold glued to a wall would be good entertainment.

There was a notorious incident at the May day protests where they came out worse off when they tried to enter the Futures exchange.

Some very quick research would show you that at least one of turboblokes claims is bks. No one really knows the true status of the polar bear population. Some populations have never been properly surveyed and some of the survey data for other populations is quite old. Also the citation refers to a woman who has never published any peer reviewed research on polar bears.

http://pbsg.npolar.no/en/status/status-table.html gives a summary of what is known about different polar bear populations.

If you're going to disrespect the "woman who has never published any peer reviewed research on polar bears" at least have the decency to link to her website and bio.
Strange I don't think her website mentions her being paid by the Heartland Institute, wonder why that is?
Is she an employee then?
No she has received payments though, she also has never done any field based study on Polar Bears nor published any peer reviewed papers, why do you trust what she says over someone like this?

How is stating a fact disrespectful?

I thought a Daft Punk video was being shot.

Just duck under their arms and then a sharp backwards dig in the kidneys with an elbow.

I'd take trays of scalding coffee out for them too... ooops!

Yep just walk up to them and take their stupid signs and face masks off them and just leave them there to wet themselves. Unfortunately the accusations of inhumane treatment would soon surface, even though they did it to themselves!

At the very least the police / stock market / DLR+TfL should be able to bill the organisers considerable sums of money (which they do appear to have) towards the cost of dealing with it all, in the same way that football clubs and so on contribute to the costs of policing their activities and events.

I still think they're Brexiteers

Old people (supposedly the only ones who voted to leave)
Want to ban planes (end to free movement of people and goods)
Well funded campaigns

Because the criticisms of Dr Crockford always appear to me to be of this ad hom. variety rather than about her science.
If the science was so robust then that is where the discussion would be decided.

Are they actually glued to each other? I'd just offer them strong green tea and water, and watch them wet themselves after about an hour.

Are they just anti capitalists?

Location doesn't seem particularly strategic in terms of targeting specific offenders. Why vandalise Shell while camping out to disrupt travel in a wider area?

This is why I can't get behind them. They have a notion that if you're not producing you're not polluting and thus want to bring the economy down.
They are a sub-group of 'Rising-Up' which is a wannabe Marxist movement.

No surprise.

Someone let me know when there's a non lunatic party I can join that cares about, in order of importance, the economy, severely disadvantaged and working people, and the environment.

I keep reading comments like this on here, that Londoners, commuters etc will just tear them off the train or building. Is this the same city where individuals first thought when a crime is being committed is to get out their phone and film it. Where scrotes have free rein stealing bikes and phones etc.

Suppose it's different when they're in your way.
