Funny how they spend all that time in London but don't seem to be able to locate their embassy.

Remanded in prison. Will likely miss the whole skiing season, and wont be out until after the Glastonbury tickets are all sold.

But she'll probably discover a whole new world she never knew existed.

Possibly including the legendary Almond Soya Milk cold turkey.

Saw that and it really made me laugh.

UN is pretty useless these days really. If it isn't pointing out the obvious its the UNHC being gamed by Russia and CHina moving developing nations votes like pawns.

Ian Fry, the UN special rapporteur, looks just like you'd expect.

And he doesn't look like the sort with any actual belief in 'freedom of expression', unless it means agreeing with him.

His remit/brief is climate change not human rights or freedom of expression. So supporting JSO is kind of predicatable.

That's odd, with JSO's (and XR's, IB's etc) leadership it's all about anti-capitalism, climate is a fashionable fig leaf for the means to achieve societal change ends.

Is anti-capitalism in Fry's brief? Probably; as we were.

[Killboy]

Is it just me, or does she seem to be silently praying?

[Langweilig]

Oh dear. What shall we do? It appears that JSO don't understand that the London Metropolitan Police have powers of arrest in relation to breaches of the Public Order Act.

6 months for slow marching...

Apart from a few fundamentalists I am sure the vast majority will be pleased that the Gov. are finally getting to grips with principle that protesting is fine but fking up everybody else's life while doing it is not.

Definitely seems like a sensible use of the prison services time and money when a tagging order would’ve had the same effect.

The force spokesman added: “One of these activists was arrested for breaching bail conditions set by the court.

https://www.irishnews.com/news/uknews/2023/12/02/n...

This guy?

Protester Stephen Gingell, 56, a business owner and father of three from Manchester, said: “I don’t want my beautiful boys to suffer horribly and their lives to be cut short with food shortages and riots due to climate collapse. The brutal truth is more burning of oil and gas is an act of genocide. The oil companies and the government know this. So why are they leading us into this slaughter?

“This week I climbed into the pipework of an oil refinery to shut it down. I’d never done anything remotely like that before. But I’m going to continue doing whatever it takes to stop new oil and gas.”

Tagging order eh..

The NHS is still available for people with such problems.

The hyperbole in the various statements in the article is very impressive. I couldn't have said any of it whilst keeping a straight face.
