  1. So if you end oil then what will we make plastics from ? I know hemp can be made into plastics but we don’t have enough hemp farms to do it and manufacturing plants for hemp are very few . I’m all for cutting back on fossil fuels but do these people have a plan to make all the items made from oil before they just cut it off completely ?

  2. Can’t take a chance that the next Stop Oil activist might seriously disrupt the lawful Buy-a-Politician scheme so Big Oil can finish despoiling the planet which will trigger mass extinction of species on land and in the oceans, crop failures, clean water shortages etc because in wonderfully circular fashion Big Oil by law cannot be prevented from triggering mass extinction, crop failures, potable water shortages unless protesters should overturn the apple cart and start a rebuild.

    But that is less likely to happen if activists are jailed for protesting the enormous and irreversible damage to the environment that Big Oil’s bought-and-paid-for politicians lawfully granted them absolute freedom to destroy.

    A fully independent Judiciary with emergency override powers would be tremendously helpful, which is why there are none. That would give shareholders scary nightmares if there were to be any limitation on purchasing public policy. There is nothing to worry about in America with the U.S. Supreme Court and with other rubber stamp judicial systems like that found in the U.K. They wear their jackboots & wigs with great pride.
