  1. It looks like a portal with grabbing demon hands is going to open up below him

  2. I mean yeah if I was dumping raw sewage into my river, I’d probably expect a few harsh words in the street from my neighbours too.

  3. The police really need to arrest this lot, they know they can’t perform their little ‘arrest’ yet do it anyway. Kidnapping people on a regular basis should be discouraged.

  4. Imagine if a group of men tried to do this to a woman. Hopefully he sues them all for assault.

  5. You would have thought with generative AI they’d not mess up the name of the station, it’s “Coulsdon” not “Coulston”.

  6. A citizens arrest is possible under S24a of PACE 1984, but there are questions around subsection 3.

  8. Climate change and environmental destruction is caused by real people with names, faces and addresses.

    Good on these people for making there at least be a *very mild inconvenience* for the catastrophic levels of destruction of our ecosystems, caused by this absolute ghoul and his friends.

    I do urge you to read “How to blow up a pipeline” by Andreas Malm.

  9. Threatening to poison our water supplies unless we give them large amounts of cash sounds like domestic terrorism to me. If we had a spine as a country these gangsters would spend their lives in a cell.

  10. Well done ladies, we need to be more proactive in making these people realise what they are getting away with. As Maxine Walters once said;

    ‘Get in their faces, make a scene, when they are filling their car up or eating out. Make your voice heard.’

  12. Those Boomers should be arresting their friends and family members and possibly turning themselves in because they’re the generation that chose privatization to line their own pockets.

  13. Women is a noun, not an adjective. Thr adjective is female. Nobody would say “men activists”, because it’s nonsensical. I remember in school we were taught big newspapers are a good source of proper grammar examples, but I guess not any more.
