They’ll be cold and wet, they might need to keep themselves insulated.
Have they all got jobs with Highways England??
They seem more obsessed with ordinary people hating them than actually doing something productive. I guess if that’s the case they’re actually succeeding in something.
I wonder how they intend to get to the roads they intend to block?
Or, and hear me out here. Protest in a manner which actually impacts the people who have the people to change things, not normal people who will just get pissed off at your group. Crazy I know.
I wish they would just surround parliament when all the MPs are there and not let anyone leave until they come up with a workable plan
This type of protest will lead to a ban on this type of protest. It is counter productive.
If they really wanted to make a change to the world, they’d go protest about changing the climate policy in Russia or China or Saudi Arabia.
In fact, I’d very happily fund their travel expenses to go do that! I’d love to see what would happen if they tried any of their stupid brain-cell-deficient shit in those places! 😀
That’s handy. They should round them all up in September and intern them for a couple of months.
Good stuff, more chaos please, rile up everyone, bring the country to a standstill, make some faces go bright red, I am looking forward to it
What a bunch of horrible cunts.
Why can’t they do anything productive? All these ‘protesters’ do is make things worse. And provide a fertile ground of useful idiots for hostile foreign actors.
Canning Town comes to mind.
Why is it when workers in unions disrupt people’s lives to enact change for their own benefit people here support them but when climate activists disrupt people’s lives to enact change to save the earth and benefit everyone people call them selfish and the whole thing ridiculous and they should do something less disruptive.
Reddit will be an unbearable quagmire of Centrist Dad opinions for the entire month of October.
I know the big oil corporations want us to squabble among ourselves and argue about personal carbon footprints while merrily continuing business as usual, but I’m completely fed up of car culture and car dominated infrastructure so I back XR on those grounds never mind the bigger picture. Even now with fuel prices sky high – which if we actually were rational actors would initiate behavioural change – people seem to struggle to imagine an alternative way of living.
This is the problem with XR. They don’t go far enough. They block one road in London rather than making the effort to target key road network hubs across the country. You have to have balls and not just complain.
everyone sighs in unison
Wouldn’t that ruin the entire economy and cause misery to people’s lives? Won’t many workers be fired because couldn’t go to work?
This is not effective direct action against the main proponents of the climate catastrophe. As we have seen, union strikers are using their power and walking out on capitalist-fasc bosses that cannot function without them. Activists smash arms factories, put their bodies in front of police trying to kidnap people from their communities, and glue themselves to runways to stop deportation flights. This however, does nothing to disrupt the oil, meat-diary industry, or the production of emissions from the most elite of the world’s companies. Stop fighting the British public and realise who the real enemy this. All this does is give the battle for climate justice a bad name. XR must do better if they are to enact real change.
I hope one of them gets run over this time
could there be a business from all these road blocks ?
you and some lads set up a turn pike on a busy road, put a sign saying “we are protesting X donations needed” if somebody give a “donation” you let them through.
lmao as if we’ll even be able to afford a tank of fuel by them
That’s fine by October fuel will be so expensive non of us will be able to afford to drive anyway.
Why not block the roads into Glastonbury, while they are there? All those cars going in and going out… how did XR even get to Glastonbury?
