As if we didn't have enough problems already, ER are reportedly encouraging people not to pay their rent (since they can't be evicted at the moment) or other debts.

I get that a lot of their supporters are the chunk of society that just lives to sponge whatever benefit payments they can get while going from squat to squat in other people's property so don't pay any rent anyway.

But then they have all these other brainwashed victims of the ER cult who do actually try to live normal lives but might latch onto this and won't have thought it through. So you will get away with 9 months or something rent free, hooray. But then what? Good luck getting many other landlords in the future to take you on when you can't get a reference and have rent debts coming up in your credit history.

So social gatherings are ok as long as you make out it’s a protest. Glad the police have clarified this smile

Although I’m not sure dressing like Islamic State militants and waving a black flag with white scrawl on it is the wisest idea. Could easily spook the lorry drivers hehe

Other debts to include taking out bank loans they never intend to repay. It's a great idea to get others to add to their arrest records with financial markers, what could possibly go wrong later on.

Reminds me of the first episode of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. smile

"Señor Gonzales, have you any idea how much damage this locomotive would suffer if I just let it roll straight over you?"

If they have to stay 2m apart because of social distancing can’t you just drive through the middle of them?

What a bunch of tossers.
Places like Bristol, Brighton, Lewes, & several others, should be made totally 'green'. No cars, bike lanes everywhere, all the stuff the XR enthusiasts want. Compensate those that wish to escape the bks, & let the rest of us get on without that lot

Our former CIA security advisor has just told me that all through Aug 28-sep 5 climate groups are planning disruptive protests and urban unrest.

People are allowed to protest even in these covid times.

In the USA there’s been anti lock down protests from the far right going on all over the place.

On the plus side the covid might thin them out a bit over time. The rest of us will be social distancing and staying at home ordering things off the net i imagine so there wont be much cause disruption too.

Protest yes, not illegally block roads and disrupt the lives of ordinary people

I suppose that's good news, signalling the end of the COVID crisis. They're discarding their new 'more lockdown and signing--on from home' disguises and putting their old crusty XR outfits back on again.
