I fly to Italy most weeks to spend a few days in my villa where I recycle old articles for a national newspaper who is stupid enough to pay me.
To those that sneer – would you also have sneered at the Suffragettes?
I help companies secure funding for the development of green technology. How much sneering does that buy me?
The question is worded in a way that suggests blocking roads saves the planet – which I disagree with.
More than them probably. I don’t cause thousands of cars to sit an idle on the motorway.
Sneer at those who think the human race needs to carry on. We will all die and the planet will be fine.
Polly bloody Toynbee, though. Fuck off, Polly. Keep fucking off. And when you’ve fucked off, fuck off just a little bit more.
What are the people blocking the roads doing to save the planet?
Using a bicycle and insulating my home
What are you doing, Polly? Here and in your Tuscan home.
Considerably more than a journo with a villa in Tuscany, unless she walks there.
Personally, I work in low carbon electricity production. I think that helps more than causing traffic.
Not jetting to a private villa in Tuscany I guess. But I am not a champagne socialist like her so go figure.
Advocating for nuclear power, currently the only viable way to eliminate reliance on fossil fuels, precisely why there’s a shocking amount of misinformation and propaganda spread about it and non viable solutions such as wind and solar are pushed, as they guarantee a continuous reliance on fossil fuels.
I’m busy not causing massive traffic jams of idling engines not going anywhere, but still burnign fuel, because they need to stay warm, cos it’s fucking november.
Do the wasters protesting walk to the m25, or drive, just wondering
We’re not sneering at the message the activists are projecting, we’re sneering at their methods and how counter-productive it is.
What about the people driving electric vehicles to sustainability projects?
A lot of the accounts that are totally not bots in the comments here seem to be posting identical responses.
Buy and electric car, which we did, and then watch electricity prices shoot through the roof.
Sorry everyone, I take the blame for the energy crisis.
I drive an EV, work from home, recycle etc.
Lazy journalism just assuming anyone who criticises these protesters must hate the environment and kill swans and dump shit in lakes. Where has nuance gone?
I don’t use disposable nappies, rubber jonnies or pick up dog shit in a plastic bag and I drink tap water not bottles. Can I now drive around the feckin M25 please in my electric feckin car?
Not taking private jets to a fucking conference in the middle of Africa which could be done over a fucking zoom call…
Not taking private jets for a 20 minute trip, doing the same damage as a couple of DAYS in a car, because theres a bit of traffic and I dont want to wait…
Not needing an entire motorcade entourage to get me from one place to another…
Doing as much recycling as the council will let me do, however having worked in rubbish disposal I know full well its not *actually* recycled because it costs too much and the rich people dont wanna fund it…
Thinking about how, if the rich fuckers in charge wanted to do anything, they could pay to stick solar panels fucking everywhere and alleviate some of the energy stress…
Also thinking about how Nuclear Power isnt even considered…
ALSO thinking about how many less people would use their own cars if the public transport infrastructure was upgraded, and it became cheap convenient and on fucking time…
*The fuck are YOU doing Polly you rat bitch! Fuck off.*
I am not having kids. That’s the best thing you can so for the environment.
I’m peeing in your coffee, I’m shitting in your sandwich, I’m playing music upstairs all night, I’m farting in the lift before you get in so that you will think about the environment and change your ways and hence save the planet.
So many things, kicking over bins. Flopping my cock out in waitrose. Wiping my nose on train seats. Then I say “Well at least I’m doing *something*”
I’m not blocking the roads,I simply go to work without disrupting thousands of others
Are you putting food on my plate, or paying any of my bills? No? Then shut the fuck up, and leave me to gripe how I see fit.
Nice to see that middle class paternalism is alive and well in the UK.
“You are being thrashed for your own damn good!”
Well just fuck off you cunts, some of us are treading water. We don’t have the luxury to indulge a faux social conscience like you.
We do what we can do and what we can afford to do. We recycle, we try to avoid excess packaging, we have cars with smaller engines (not the Chelsea tractors that your parents have been chauffeuring you about in), many of us use public transport not because it’s trendy or “down” but out of necessity, and we sure as fuck didn’t have the educational opportunities that you’ve had.
No-one has forced you into taking this action, you have chosen to take it. You have chosen to hurt the weak, the powerless, the ones without voices because changing the political landscape would require you to work – and you are just not used to that are you. Far easier to oppress the poor to earn yourselves brownie point with your peers.
Find another way to rebel against your parents before your stupidity, ignorance, and arrogance starts costing people their jobs, homes, and maybe even their lives.
Instead of blocking cars , why don’t you try and block the tankers coming out of the refineries , which would well and truly make a cataclysmic impact.
The question is what are the activists doing? They’re in no way saving the planet. If anything they’re making peoples commutes longer, making them burn more fuel
Not having any children by choice, the amount of waste, plastic and co2 a single human outputs in a lifespan is huge, not having children is more proactive than sitting down and doing nothing
The question should be what are our leaders doing to save the planet.
