  2. They run out of mentally vulnerable people to push into doing these stunts?

  3. I guess those prison sentences did serve to dissuade future action after all.

    It becomes a lot easier to argue you’ve changed your ways and aren’t a risk of reoffending when your organisation’s stated position isn’t that they intend to carry on regardless.

  4. Is just stop oil disruptive? In the grand scheme of things, if we are really honest no.

    But let look at how disruptive the oil industry can be, this is a testimony from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service after the BP oil spill:

    “Long-term consequences can include impaired fitness and reproduction, potentially impacting population levels. 

    Oil has the potential to endure in the environment long after a spill event and has been detected in sediment 30 years after a spill.”

    The general public is fine with the oil industry speedrunning the end of the world but let some protesters try do something about it and everyone loses their shit. We are all sheep!

  8. Can’t believe the amount of bootlickers celebrating people getting sent to prison for throwing food on glass.

  9. I think the issue for JSO is…nobody really gave a fuck.

  11. Good, I still have no idea what kind of point they were trying to make with this BS and I’m an environmentalist 

  12. Good. This type of “direct action” is so antithetical to what it means to be English anyway so if we see less then all the better. Take your Franco-Yank/third world pastimes back to where they belong and maybe try winning an orderly debate in the future.

  13. Astounds me the British public hate these people more than the tractor gobshites

  14. “direct action” that always seems to have the cooperation of the venue, e.g. they only throw soup over stuff protected by glass, glue themselves to the walls and frame not the pictures etc

  15. “We’ve kept over 4.4 billion barrels in the ground”

    Nope – UK demand hasn’t changed, so we’re just importing the same amount at far higher financial and environmental cost. All imports are more carbon intensive than new UK fields.

    Just stopping *UK* oil means the UK is now emitting far more for our same demand, just abroad. That’s greenwashing.

  16. well it was dumb…i mean come on…you’re affecting anyone doing this other than some who want to see the arty stuff…and you throwing stuff over it, isn’t going to make them suddenly think oh I better care about climate change…if you want to take aim, take aim at the politicians, the media, the billionaires, stop taking aim at this stuff and working everyday person

  18. It would take significant evidence to change my stance that Just Stop Oil is 100% managed and funded by oil lobbyists
