Oh stop it. I've never heard anyone refer to refugees as human trash. I know you've made up your mind I'm some kind of Thatcher clone, but the truth is a lot of my work in the middle East deals with refugees coming to the UK, particularly from refugee camps in Jordan.

Africa IS a sh1thole for the most part.

It's clear to me SR, that you just can't have a debate about anything political. You're all about 'whataboutism'. Any time the Left is mentioned... you hit back with yeah, well whatabout....[something on the FAR right]. It's tedious.

The Tories are not on the far Right.

The Labour Party are not communists. Although it's fair to say they are further left under Corbyn than at any time in recent history. He's a proper Stalin fan, old Jeremy.

Dreadful people. People have jobs to get to and bills to pay. It's not going to affect the big businesses, only the "little man".

I suppose they get their 15 mins of fame ,while I agree with their cause they really are being stupid, this wont solve anything ,and if they are so passionate get out there and do something about it other than block peoples rights to get to work etc,go pick some rubbish off the beaches,hell in those numbers they could clear a few,and God help anyone needing an ambulance in an emergency.

Quite.

And Shell spends billions bribing governments for drilling rights. A broken window is nothing to them.

My friend who is third on the list for the Green Party in the GLA was arrested yesterday, spent 12 hours in custody and was free to go.

He was peacefully demonstrating.

This country is a joke.

[Underscore]

and I'm sure the same people here would condone the use of the police on the yellow vest movement in France?

Those rioters who vandalise and torch buildings? Yeah I can't imagine why anyone would condone the use of police on them.

Er....

Just seen images of two of them stood on a train to hold it up.

Why are they targeting public transport if they’re worried about global warming?

Surely they want more people on public transport rather than in cars.

They just want something to do,so thought it was a good idea to stop people doing what they should be doing like working ! Wonder how they would feel if a member of their family was held up in an ambulance,do these idiots even think about other people when getting carried away their futile protest.

Don't give them too much credit for thinking skills.

I admire what they are trying to do but here in the west we are so in thrall to consumerism I think apart from slinging a few plastic bottles in the recycling, people really aren't going to change their habits that much...
