You would think
it would be sensible to clear up after they have left

How many plastic bottles ???? They don't care they will be causing havoc somewhere else for a different "cause" tomorrow instead of going to work

This whole thread is one big get off my lawn. A pity the older generations didn't care about climate as much as they do about encouraging police brutality, then protests like this wouldn't be needed in the first place.

How old are you going with this? it only really since the early 80s when consumerism has really took off and this has really driven climate change, older generations didn't have central heating, they didn't buy their veg smothered in plastic in fact most grew their own, most didn't take foreign holidays, or if they did it was once a year, they didn't have two cars sitting on the drive, they didn't buy clothes, wear them a few times and throw them away, they used bars of soap, not shower gels full of plastic beads, they didn't buy loads of old tut at Christmas or buy their kids loads of plastic toys all to end up in landfill, I could go on?

its the "older generations" who clean up and pay for these jobless oiks. its easy to do what they are doing, running a business and paying tax is actual work - hence why they prefer to do this

Well it's to do with dirty industrialization, not consumer lifestyle, but go off I guess

Personally I'd be careful blaming oldies. I mean they didn't know any better.

It takes dirty industrialisation to produce the crap that people are buying. Isn't that right?

And now, in charge of all the facts, our current glut of eco-warriors are still drinking from single use plastic bottles while they're protesting.
