...hmmmm, I’m a bit conflicted about the present proposed two week protests.../...just because it’s important that their voices are heard when they are protesting ..I mean, to be listened to is about the timing of as well..and atm, all ears are really focused on Brexit and how the country will Brexit and how it will impact on the border issue etc...for me, these protests are not well timed for their own importance...

Yes they are Demanding
a Citizen Assembly Now,
which can not happen without Parliament.

They were on SkyNewsHD Ridge
yesterday.
One Spokeperson Sarah Lunnon
said look at Bahamas -they have Gone?

But that's not True
they are now at this time Rebuilding in the Bahamas

No they are aware it has a date
and keeps getting Extended?

[Ammi]

yeah because everyone in britain only cares about Brexit, their own selfish desires :bored:

...yeah we do care about peace treaties and economy and trading, which will impact livelihoods, Nicky...that’s not any definition of ‘selfish’ at all, to be concerned ...and with how imminent it is, for that to be a focus of the entire nation, which will detract from the message that Extension Rebellion are trying to convey...timing is also a thing, not just a message content...but when it’s delivered...

[Alf]

They're just an upper middle class death cult. An irrational, regressive eco-sect that wants to impose severe austerity on humankind. If you see them this week, give them a piece of your mind.

I am driving into the middle of this shambles today..I have my deodorant can to spray at them if they block my route.

[Cherie]

They are losing public support, their timing is really off with this one, as well as that they are planning two weeks of protests so anyone self employed and having to get around the city is going to be short come the end of the month

Instead of blocking the road to a hospital, why not try targeting things which actually align with their cause?

Stop the building of the ghastly chav estates which are popping up all over the countryside. Blockade particularly polluting factories. Clean up their local beaches. That kind of thing.

I don't agree with your pathetically snobbish 'ghastly chav estates' as a target for protest, they could go to Preston new road with the anti frackers ... Now THERE'S a cause worth supporting to stop those popping up where housing could be.

But this is about impact, nobody cares that much about Preston, probably because its full of ghastly chav estates, whereas the media hones in on anything in the capital.

How could I forget about fracking?! Yeah, target those sites too.

I can't blame them, we're standing on a precipice and we're approaching a point of no return which we're happily approaching because we live in an age where people do nothing but bury their heads in the sand when it'll be their children that suffer for it.

To be fair it's always been like that, I was watching a youtube vid of a little girl of 12-13 in 1992..it could have been Greta today. Her name was Severn Suzuki.

Packaging plays a role I expect if that's what you mean, we can only eat or drink so much in a day.

it's also their roads ;)

and you gotta protest somewhere where you can draw most attention for your cause

[Alf]

I've seen someone dressed as a clown or The Joker getting arrested, all he wanted to do was save the Amazon.

Also, some of them have been spotted getting their lunch in Mcdonalds, which they're free to do, but I didn't think Mcdonalds would be their kind of eatery.

Mcdonalds has salad shakers though, so not necessarily that they ordered meat products there, or you were there with them and overheard what they ordered?

[Vicky.]

I will always agree with peoples right to protest things they feel are important. However, the way these protests are being done..would annoy me like hell if it was in my area and noone could get to work..or do anything as there were people blocking the roads. So am a bit torn on this as I do agree with their message, but disagree with the way they are going about it. But at the same time, I do think aslong as protests are peaceful..they should be able to happen. Its only when the violence and such starts that they are a big issue.

[Alf]

Mcdonalds has salad shakers though, so not necessarily that they ordered meat products there, or you were there with them and overheard what they ordered?No, and I said they're perfectly free to eat there, and they can order what they like for me. And you're right, they may not be ordering meat, however, it's not a great look for the cause.

This is a HUGE problem where my dad lives. With the new rules about housing benefit and such, kids are having to stay at home til they are a lot older. And, they also have to work obviously, and given jobs are scarce, a lot of commuting is often required so a car is pretty much a necessity. So some of the houses on his street are running 4 or 5 cars between them! The whole estate is at war with each other trying to take up the few parking spaces that there are :laugh:

I do not quite understand either, this obsession with banning straws, while using ridiculous amounts of plastic in other areas? I mean, it cannot be that hard to get milk and drinks to go back to glass bottles surely?! I have been buying glass bottle coke for ages now, its a fortune compared to plastic, but its so much nicer for some reason. I am not really doing it to 'save the planet' or anything, even though such things do help marginally. the whole obsession with straws seems insane. Like mcdonalds..horrid paper straws that won't allow you to drink milkshake, but plastic lids on the cups?!

The whole straws thing is a joke, the paper ones.. they're not even recyclable. There was more awareness in the 70s and 80s than now, pop and milk bottles were reused there was less packaging on produce and there were very few , fast fashion, fast food takeaway shops or cofee shops. So can't moan about sweatshops...unethical or intensive farming and exploitation.

We didn't do our bit, we wanted the primarks and starbucks.. mind you industry has had a massive impact too, we're not responsible for air quality and cancer causing agricultural chemicals.
Cars are getting greener so that's a bonus, soon 2 cars will be as polluting as one so that's something to look forward to :laugh:

Great point (not on the clip)
the Lady from the Press
made , "you need to bring people with you"
you can not bypass Democracy

[Cherie]

The problem I have with this group is that they seem to want people to go from 0 to 90 with nothing in between

why not start with a list of things people can actually do without impacting their daily lives too much

Do one less wash a week
Turn down your heating by 1 degree
Take the bus if you can rather than the car twice a week
Cut down on takeaway deliveries
Buy less clothing
cut down on food waste
take your own tubs to the supermarket for fish and meat
have one meat free day


there are so many things people can do without too much effort, instead of this JUST STOP FLYING message or screeching that THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO DO SOMETHING...all they will do is stick another green tax on something or increase the congestion charge, hand the responsibility to the people and ask them to get involved rather than inconveniencing everyone and nothing happening

C02 is not a pollutant. Without it almost all life would go extinct. Why do you think the Romans and Greeks wore togas back then? Because it was warmer then than it is today. The sun is 99% of the solar system and goes through cycles. FYI, if you listen to the environmentalists worth listening to we may actually be entering another ice age.

Climate change is real (it has been for 4 billion years) but man-made climate change is, for the most part, just a myth and an excuse to set up a world government. There are environmental problems that do deserve attention but this gets way more attention than it is entitled to. These protestors should just go out and plant a tree.

As far as I know they want net-zero carbon emissions by 2025. I think that would damage economies and living standards a lot.

The UN's IPCC about climate change has said that a move to net-zero for any timescale requires carbon capture technology that doesn't yet exist, so the next ten years is unrealistic.

One of the Extinction Rebellion people was on the Andrew Neil show, and didn't have many answers to the accusations of alarmism.

I'm all for peaceful protests but these people are distracting everyday life. I am someone that is very critical of the police for many reasons (which i will not go into but i have been seeing huge levels of corruption), but i can fault them for this event. I can fault them for many other things though.

[Twosugars]

The prime minister’s father has told a crowd at Extinction Rebellion’s London demonstrations he backs their methods and is proud to call himself an “uncooperative crusty”.

Stanley Johnson was responding to a question about comments made by his son, who called environmental protesters occupying sites across Westminster “uncooperative crusties” in “heaving hemp bivouacs”.

Speaking on a panel from a stage set up by protesters in Trafalgar Square, Johnson said: “On the point of non-cooperative crusties, I wear that badge with pride.

“It’s one of the nicest things that has been said about me for a long time. A non-cooperative crusty, absolutely superb – do they taste good? That’s my thought, I think they do.”

Good man, Stanley

If they were a large group of football supporters, they would be marched out of town. The Police are capable, but are likely getting their orders from higher up.

This.

Did you see the video of the copper punching that football supporter in the crowd when they were saying "get back"... now, would they ever even dare do that to these climate protesters? NO!

The coppers are trying to justify the punch saying "no arrests were made so it's all good", still assault though.

I am not saying that these protesters need to be punched, quite the contrary, I am saying that NO ONE should be, including that supporter in the crowd at the football match.

The issue and so the protest is here to stay for good.

Warming and mass extinction are only two of many issues but there will be more.

And there will be a whole range of types of activism, from education through direct action all the way to eco terrorism
Make no mistake, it has barely started. It will grow for the rest of our lives.

i agree with you now, it's getting way out of control

they might think they need to act like this to stand up for climate change, but you can also send representatives of your organization to arrange meetings with parliament

interesting blog here from one of the co-founders


And I’m here to say that XR isn’t about the climate. You see, the climate’s breakdown is a symptom of a toxic system of that has infected the ways we relate to each other as humans and to all life. This was exacerbated when European ‘civilisation’ was spread around the globe through cruelty and violence (especially) over the last 600 years of colonialism, although the roots of the infections go much further back.
As Europeans spread their toxicity around the world, they brought torture, genocide, carnage and suffering to the ends of the earth. Their cultural myths justified the horrors, such as the idea that indigenous people were animals (not humans), and therefore God had given us dominion over them. This was used to justify a multi-continent-wide genocide of tens of millions of people. The coming of the scientific era saw this intensify, as the world around us was increasingly seen as ‘dead’ matter — just sitting there waiting for us to exploit it and use it up. We’re now using it up faster than ever.
