1. What an annoying and selfish way of protesting. You’re not making a point, you’re making a fool of yourselves.

2. Put them in jail for 10 years. Need to crack down on attention seeking protests that spoil things for huge number of people.

   They are protecting something happening 1000 miles away which has nothing to do with the Marathon or it’s runners

3. Just stop oil says they will stop doing this nonsense so youth demand have picked up the slack.

   Harms their cause because everyone will just everyone in the group is a bellend.

4. Funny how everyone agrees that the youth have nothing to look forward to, until the youth try to do something about it. I always wondered why we never look a lesson from the French, I suppose we’re just too milquetoast

5. Good for them.

   You may not agree with all forms of protest but let them fight for their future.

   We’ve fucked up enough for them.

   What’s their other current options right now – 40/50 years of slave work to not even be able to afford a house… get stabbed?

   Good for them.

6. Willow Holland from Bristol. Could that be more of a cliche?

7. Send said youth to the front lines if they feel so passionate about the cause.

8. > There is a significant charity running aspect to the marathon, with participants helping to raise over £1 billion since its founding, including £67 million at the 2024 London Marathon which was the highest amount for a single-day fund-raising event.

   Did they not read this bit?

9. What are they asking for? Blanket ban on short-format content and stricter measures to stop children accessing pornography?

10. *Youth Demand is an environmental activist and political activist group which is calling for the British government to stop all trade with Israel and raise £1 trillion by 2030 from the “super rich and fossil fuel elite”*

    From Wikipedia.
    I can’t get what this has to do with all the actual issues today’s youth face.

11. Private school kids having their bit of fun before heading off to work for daddy’s firm. Bless ‘em.
