I thought the thread was about Extinction Rebellion - not Alf's Colon Cleanse.

I don't think anyone, anywhere is opposed to peaceful protest, 1300 arrests and counting, 7 stabbings in London over the weekend, and I wonder how many other crimes have been committed while the police are overstretched in this way.

Via technology? So if you agree with the protestors you shouldn't be using technology, should they be living in a mud hut dressed in banana leaves?

None of us should, nor be driving etc,etc,it's almost impossible to achieve. and maybe if we lived in a mud hut dressed in banana leaves we can survive,but we'de have to light fires to keep warm and cook which uses wood and the smoke is not good for the environment so what is the answer ?

No, they're pointing out you're missing the point. Which every post you make continues to prove.

Obviously you are opposed.. have you watched the arrests being made? Vicars, men and women in their 80s, the disabled, doctors... you can't blame the protestors for criminal activity that would happen regardless :/

Well unless you're contradicting yourself that's what you suggested, that the protestors were diverting resources and that's why they've lost your support ergo you are now opposed to the protest.

What exactly are you saying then? :/

Agreed, its their future and their children's future so needs addressing, quickly. My sons school have a whole school topic on how little things can help. Matthew keeps walking round the house behind me, switching off lights and telling me what we should recycle. He's obsessed.

It is time politicians prioritised this issue.

I agree and AnnieK's post is really heartening to read too.

It is the present children and their children's future and world we are allowing to be destroyed.

Complacency has no place in this issue.
As you indicate, it's children leading the way more at times on the dangers.

Politicians have failed badly and still are, they do need to now make this a priority.
I won't hold my breath on that however.
