Yeah sorry, I agree with this tbh. Blaming older people is a cop out. Its not older people (speaking generally) buying all the plastic ****e. And most older people I know grow their own veg and stuff and are quite into recycling? Not sure where this version of older people you speak of comes from really, are most older people you know like that?! I find that..sad really. Speaking broadly, I have found older people care much more about global warming than younger ones. They consume less plastic tat crap, and seem to be more bothered about littering and recycling than most. I mean, these protesters have left behind hundreds of ****ing plastic bottles on the floor instead of cleaning uip after themselves, so clearly they DONT actually care about the environment? So why awre they protresting? Seems attention seeking to me to be quite honest, if they aren't actually bothered about global warming and that given they are contributing. The celeb woman who flew 6000 miles to join a protest about air travel and such, I find ****ing hilarious. And shes being hailed as a hero?! Hypocrites, the lot of them tbh. A few may be genuine, but it seems the majority are just there for something to do to get their faces in the news!

Right on point Cherie,some people want the convenience but not the bother of the consequences, we have a waste bin not far from our house and people STILL drop their litter ,dog crap etc just anywhere but the bin,lazy fookers ,fooking up the planet and killing the wildlife,but hey its ok as long as I have my plastic bottle of water/pop(a glass one is far too heavy:smug:) and some other mug can pick up my littler and fag ends,as they like to work !!! People don't like to admit they are last barstards but many are. If we all sorted our litter out the oceans wouldn't be full of it,it's just common sense.

if you found a Irn Bru bottle as kid you got 5p for it from the Icy or corner shop. 5p could buy you a lot of sweets (probably same a quid now). We would go looking for workies in building sites as they were always on the Irn Bru and sometimes would give you a fag

Mind you some people were on a mission to get bottles and would like get crates of them, they were called "bottle Genies" and were looked down upon :joker:

Not quite the same thing I know, but... but when my Dad was a kid he discovered that, behind the Green Shield Stamps shop in the High Street, there were bins full of redeemed books that had just been torn in half. He and his mates spent hours steaming them out and sticking them into new books and went on to have the finest toy collection in all of east London.

Do you understand how consumerism works? If no-one spends their money on things, they go away. If people stopped consuming the results of industrialisation, it would shrink and possibly die.

and why are you lecturing me?
I have no problem with industrialisation or consummerism as such, both are essential. We just have to be clever about it, now that technology allows it.

Well Idk, but that ship has sailed in most of the world anyway.
We didn't know back then the climate was at risk, we didn't have much clean technology if at all so it happened as it happened.

Extinction Rebellion protesters gathered in Parliament Square

Police making sure they stay away from
working MP's

It's going to get colder later in the week... maybe time to deploy a water canon or two.

Oliver_W 23-04-2019 06:40 PM

It's their families I feel for. Just imagine everyone's sat round for Easter dinner, but there's the empty chair ... Nanna says "eyyup, where's our Deirdre then?" and Mum says "ohh eck, he's at that silly little protest in That London...."
