Insulate Britain

[Lefty Frizzell]

Media led sob stories. It’s propaganda, and as usual you fall for it - hook, line and sinker

No, its actual video footage of unfolding events.

can the police not use those water cannons that Boris bought?

 

[Dick Fitzwell]

See Tinkle’s answer

Net zero, not zero emissions

Still no real answer I see.

It's easy to whine on about something and not be part of the solution.

She is a fellow human being despite not murdering and dismembering anyone.

Driving a gas guzzler, she’s already the enemy

Surely any car owner is a legitimate target? (The car is in the wife's name )

I do my bit, including direct action.
There’s plenty of other threads on what can be done to affect climate change, sitting back pointing fingers isn’t the answer.

 

[Big Toe]

Not like you to believe any shite that you read without questioning, whether it’s an entitled Karen in her Mercedes or your hero Trump suckering you in.

At what point does it show her driving a Mercedes? Pay attention

What is your bit? I'm always interested in people doing their bit.

Probably best thing to do is not earn much because the correlation between carbon use and income is very high.

I think that day will come, sooner than people expect. I still own a old car, but hardly drive it, so I’m a hypocrite. Everyone is, but like you, I’ve made progress by giving up meat.
BTW - I totally agree that Joe Soap doesn’t give af.

What would you do to achieve it?

The problem we have is that the world has been based on the car for the last 30 or 40 years. It will take quite some time to reengineer society.

Presumed it was hers as the door was open but you’re right, may not have been. Still a whiny Karen though.

I agree and nor is sitting on a road holding people up spewing out more emissions in the air.

 

[spitfire]

You have to say they are effective at drawing attention to their cause. I like the way them and XR go about protesting. If only all protests were done this way. Oh and I couldn't give a shit about the cause I just like they way they are doing things.

You wouldn't let it lie

 

[Tadger]

There’s always going to be a bit of fallout in any campaign. Plenty of trains to Canterbury.

And how does she hop on the train in the situation she’s in.

That argument is shot. A couple of hundred cars idling in London makes fuck all difference, it’s a drop in the ocean. Plus, there will be fallout with any direct action.

And how does she hop on the train in the situation she’s in.

Should have thought of that before she got in her gas guzzler. If these demos cause people to make those choice then they are already working. Would help if our public transport was fit for purpose.

massive investment in public transport with heavy taxes on motorists would be one thing I’d implement right away. Unpopular amongst the selfish and myopic though.

We have to stop burning fossil fuels and move towards a more efficient and carbon free way of powering our planet. We also need to get all countries thinking the same way and until they do we are p'ing in the wind.

If climate change exists and that is still debatable, the solution is a technological one. Anything else, is mass hysteria from a bored middle class and a society without carbon, is one that would collapse in on itself, or be swept away by the tide of history.

'thinking the same way' - it sounds a bit fascist, doesn't it. Any opposition to the new orthodoxy is apostasy and how long before your side is demanding the criminal justice deals with deniers and heretics.
