Discussion

Genuine question, why is this protest worse than say the brexit one? Or the freedom of speech one?
Or the countryside alliance one?
All aim to disrupt and gain attention to a cause...
And cost the country millions and take police away from fighting crime.
it’s the hypocritical part which is the problem for me and also the lack of clarity of message. Or the countryside alliance one?

The others were not suffering from these problems (imo).
when they had the kids on telly at school protesting about the other week and yet being driven around in giant, high pollution SUV vehicles and the helicopter parents that insist on it for ‘their safety’.
Some families run two SUVs.
where is the protest by them against that type of lifestyle? that is something i could understand, rather than protesting against ‘the world’ and ‘muh gammons’.
the message is not very clear, i don’t understand what they want.
as a fellow poster quite rightly pointed out, the trains back to hebdon bridge will indeed be busy over the weekend. assuming they did not drive an SUV down.

One lead from the Extinction website goes to the 'million green jobs' site, which is worth a read...
A proposal to create 1 million public sector jobs for 20 years. Funded by taxes on the wealthy. It's all there on their site in a paper giving the methodology behind the proposal. Research funded by the TUC recommends union jobs shocker.
However they get their timetables mixed up - ER want us zero carbon by 2025, but the million loafers give it 20 years before we see the difference.
Not that it matters.
don't post anything like that on the climate change thread. you will be accused of being a tin foil hat wearing cult member. no one that supports these clowns bothers doing any checking on what they are about or the people pulling their strings.A proposal to create 1 million public sector jobs for 20 years.

There’s a guy local to me who has been in the local rag banging on about climate change and how we must ban everything.... his own FB page shows pics of him in Tenerife where he ‘has gone every year for 20 odd years...’Pretty sure he doesn’t walk there.
“Extinction Rebellion protesters have threatened to ‘shut down’ Heathrow over the Easter break. A message to supporters read: ‘Tomorrow we raise the bar. We are going to shut down Heathrow.’”

One phoned LBC and when asked, described herself as a freelance choirmaster.

Ban lawn mowers. I think I understand the concept - not disturbing nature, but when I mow my lawn, the birds in the surrounding trees (lots of Wood Pigeons, Blackbirds, Magpies, Robins, Blue Tits, Sparrows, Starlings, even the odd Woodpecker) absolutely love it. Within 10 minutes of me mowing the lawn and then going in the house, there will be at least a couple of dozen of them ferreting around on the lawn, along with a few squirrels. Now in my simple mind, that lot constitutes nature, and they really like me mowing my lawn, so I will continue to do so. Nature told me to. :-)
