Dozens of energy crisis activists ‘occupy central lobby of parliament’

  1. Ayy it’s about time they actually pissed off the people in charge, instead of hassling the Gary’s who need to get to work or the Linda’s who need to get to the hospital

  2. An hour or two after a new PM is elected…

    This is either well-timed, well-prepared and well-executed political theatre (well, Boris does have theatre experience), or a well-timed, well-prepared and well-executed protest (well, Boris does have left-wing heritage).

    Either way, more ammunition for the opposition and newspapers to put pressure on for a G.E.

    Whatever this is, a G.E is obviously needed as there are more and more strikes on the horizon, the PM is unable to pass shit for the shit-fillled divisions within the shitty Tory party, another wave of shitty whatever due, no 50ps to put in the shite meter…

    The country is currently obviously ungovernable with all this shit, and people are shitting themselves and obviously want their say even if it means shite all. Rishi will probably plough and funnel his own cash into a G.E, and as a technocratic politician, will probably force through a shitty bill that will allow online voting. He will try to Trump a G.E with his personal wealth and I bet whoever HE employs to do some Cummingsing a G.E will have far more cash and resources at-hand.

    But Rishi would probably offshore this dirty work and not have it so close to home. Expect Facebook to be teeming with pro-Rishi, pro-Britain spam, and Rishi will have his “own” little C.A somewhere in some remote country.

    More of this political theatre/protesting please – let them rot from within.

    Rishi is a good politician, but you can’t trust a Tory with anything I’m afraid. He is a smokescreen cabbage-dip with a side-helping of faux niceness.

    Teachers, we are up!

  3. A much more sensible idea than just obstructing ordinary people who have no influence over anything.

    And infinitely more effective than just randomly vandalising stuff “because protest, innit?”.

  4. This will be memoryholed and the rules on entering parliament changed permanently to make sure the plebs never get any ideas ever again, just watch, it’s why the security guards were so quick to cover up any random camera they saw. No Jan 6th protest is ever gonna happen here, which for better or worse that’s what they’d need to be a lot more like if they wanted to be not just shrugged off and eye-rolled at, and no revolution shall be televised.

    Good idea though, probably much more popular than any of the other stuff some of them have done lately

    >”There was no attempt by police to move the activists on and after reading out a number of statements they left voluntarily.”

    Why even bother

  5. Well it’s a slight better than spraying orange paint onto Harrods or smearing tomato soup on a painting

  6. Good. We need to stop turning ourselves against each other and go to the people that actually make the changes.

  7. I get the frustrated rhetoric about soup and paintings but this sort of protest (in parliament) only works if people know who’s protesting. Given the recent campaigns, we all do know them, so this latest instalment is all the more effective at getting coverage. You have to have the whole campaign to effectively force change.

  8. Not only a sensible form of protesting but they’re putting forward issues that are not being correctly addressed at all presently and really do need a greater public awareness.

    Good shit lads.

  10. For those of you who complain and ask why the protesters can never do something “sensible” and inconvenience someone in power…

    Take a look at BBC and Sky News front pages tonight.

    0 about this story, front page news about the “Charles wax cake attack” story.

    **That’s why.**

  11. Kinda interesting how the jso protest reports have had their name in the headlines properly capitalised everytime, but this protest which wont annoy the public and would likely be supported doesn’t plaster the name of the groups in the title,

  12. This is the way to do it! its already getting more positive feedback and backing than other activist groups, it just needs more coverage!

  13. there you go, wasn’t so hard was it? and im sure it felt nice to get where you wanted to go without a road blocked by bellends
