>A protester has poured human waste over a Sir Captain Tom Moore memorial as part of a campaign to end the use of private jets in the UK.
wtf is the logic behind that?
Well that is one dumb arse protest.
It wont help her cause at all, it will just harm it.
Far left protesters seem to have some of the thickest people out there. They seem to value publicity and “being heard” over the actual likelihood of their message going across well.
And there is a cause that lost a lot of respect.
What a dumb ass
Not the brightest protest.
No wonder she dropped out of studying medicine.
These climate activists REALLY need to get some good PR people. Things like this just piss people off.
She has got to the thickest idiot out there. I can see this going really wrong for her. Imagine trying to get a job in the future and this pops up in every Google search that an HR department runs. Obvious that is after she completes her time in jail.
What a fucking idiot. Private jets are an obscene luxury the environment can’t afford. But desecrating the memorial of a national hero is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen.
Astonishingly stupid. The ‘symbolism’ is warped and she’s undermined the moral strength of the cause and the popular sympathy it needs.
I’m not endorsing the action below, but why not throw the stuff over someone who *uses* private jets or the offices of the firms that run them? Why not sabotage the planes so that they can’t be used?
This is a cause that is like the campaign against fur. It’s a product largely used by only the 0.1%, where most people already feel slightly hostile to it. There is a perfect oppotunity to inconvenience only the users. Animal rights protesters didn’t throw red paint on the cenotaph, they threw it on the celebrities that wore fur. It still gave them high-profile attention.
While I certainly agree with her aims, I think she could have found a more appropriate target. Pouring it over someone who’s addicted to private jets, like Richard Branson, would certainly get my support.
I genuinely don’t think this but it’s honestly hard to imagine this isn’t a psy-op to get people against the movement than for it.
There are far better targets for such a protest.
She will probably also need police protection, going by some of the comments.
If anyone can follow the line of logic she expresses, which links an elderly gentleman raising funds for the NHS to the use of private jets, they should apply to MI6 as a decryption analyst
This is one of my favourite headlines of all time. I’m not going to read the explanation, because it’s just better to imagine what it’s about.
I’m sure Captain Tom was a lovely bloke, and he did something really nice in a time when people were down.
His family have behaved in a shit way.
This woman is so incomprehensibly bat shit that there isn’t a single thing I could even think of that would go anywhere close to justifying this.
That dude walked a marathon around his garden to raise money for people in lockdown?
His family is very much still alive and I imagine very proud of the memorials. I would be.
How the actual FUCK are you more hateable than the private jet wankers? If the only people alive on earth where climate activists and me… I’d burn all the forests to spite them.
The fuss over Capt Tom was weird, the ongoing fuss over the Charity is weird, but this is the weirdest bit of all.
I remember when a man got done for pissing near PC palmer memorial outside Westminster.
This woman deserves a far harsher sentence, she basically crapped all over the statue, intentionally.
No mercy.
Activist try not to be a disgusting person challenge. Impossible
I agree with the sentiment, but not the act. Very unhelpful.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but whenever i see things like this i start thinking there might be some credence to the idea that the oil industry hires people like this as a way to ‘poison the well’ of environmental discourse.
I really struggle so see any rational person thinking that this would be an effective way to gain public support for their cause.
Why don’t these people protest against those responsible – outside private jet terminals etc
Can’t fathom wtf you would do something like that??? Unless you’ve been paid to do it via capitalists.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say, this might just be the worst optics for a protest going
She could’ve done it over that corrupt daughter instead
Should of just poured it over herself to show the world what a piece of shit she is
This has to be the most idiotic protest I’ve ever seen.
I’m one of the last people you will see criticising climate activists. But what the fuck did she think she would achieve with this?
Chain yourself to a private airport fence, protest outside big oil offices, anything other than pouring SHIT over an old man’s memorial.
We live in an age of technology where we can communicate with people across the globe instantly.
We have vast knowledge of alot of our world and the people on it.
And yet they chose to protest with the ancient art of monke.
*if unhappy, throw poop*
What a dopey gobshite, they actually have a good point on the use of private jets and yachts by the celebrities and rich but for fucks sake talk about ruining the chance of the getting the public to your side.
I wonder where she gets the shit from. Does she save it up, go round along the neighbours, or what…
>”I was studying to become a doctor because I believe in taking care of people. If we believe that the NHS is important, if we believe in taking care of each other, if we believe that NHS workers are doing essential work, why are forcing our healthcare system into collapse, why are we forcing our civilisation into collapse, why is basically no one taking this genocide of all humanity seriously?
“All of this is true and the government won’t even end UK private jets, every time one takes off, it pours a bucket of s*** and blood onto everything that Captain Tom stood for.”
As far as political statements go, this is kind of confusing. Without this context, people are going to think she has a problem with Captain Tom, they’re not going to immediately associate the defacing of his statue with climate change. Before reading the article I wondered if this was some kind of covid conspiracy theorist stunt.
Well done her for becoming the worst person of the week.
The world has gone bonkers. Clearly she needs mental help, hope she gets it
‘Former medical student.’
I bet she’s ‘inbetween jobs’ as well.
Captain Sir, not Sir Captain.
Also don’t dump shit on statues, wtf.
She’s currently 21. I can’t help but feel she might regret this for a long time.
Fucking hell, what an astonishgly effective way to get people to hate your cause. Like I literally can’t think of any way of to get British people to not take you seriously than what this idiot woman has done. I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised to find out she’s some kind of oil company secret agent sent to make climate activists look bad. What a twat.
This kind of protest only hinders the movement she fights for.
